1927年春,来华考察的瑞典学者赫定委托刘半农等给鲁迅写信,称拟提名鲁迅为诺贝尔奖候选人。希望了解鲁迅本人的意向。鲁迅答复说:“我不愿意如此。”并说:“诺贝尔赏金,梁启超自然不配,我也不配,要拿这钱,还欠努力。世界上比我好的作家何限,他们得不到,你看我译的那本《小约翰》,我哪里做得出来,然而这作者就没有得到。” In the spring of 1927, the Swedish scholar Heding entrusted Liu Bannong to visit China to write a letter to Lu Xun, saying that he proposed to nominate Lu Xun for the Nobel Prize candidate. I hope to understand Lu Xun’s own intention. Lu Xun replied: “I do not want to be so.” And said: “Nobel bounty, Liang Qichao naturally unworthy, I do not deserve, to get the money, still owe a hard work. They can not get it. You see the little John I translated, where I did it, but the author did not get it. ”
