A story about Lao She popularly goes that his son Shu Yi said that Lao She should be laureate in 1968. The academy could not make contact with the writer as he had died in 1966. The prize finally went to Yasunari Kawabata.
Kjell Espmark, a member of the Nobel Committee for Literature later said that the academy did ask Lao She if he would accept the prize but the modest writer said he was "not qualified".
