The Chen Bochui Award, first given in 1981, was opened up to international publishers in 2014. The award aims to promote excellence in children's publishing, as well as cultural diversity... Chen Bochui, who died in 1997, is said to be considered the father of modern children’s literature in China. He translated Pushkin's Children's Tales, The Wizard of Oz and Don Quixote into Chinese for the first time in the 1940s, and donated his life savings to establish a children’s literature award... The awards were made just ahead of the Shanghai International Children's Book Fair, which opens 13 Nov.
