The purpose of the Embassy’s competition was to discover new translation talents in literary fiction from Norwegian to Chinese. Participants were asked to translate the short story, The Tale of Mrs. Berg (Historien om Fru Berg), written by the Norwegian author Ingvild H. Rishøi, from Norwegian to Chinese.
The short story was taken from Rishøi’s short story collection with the same name published in 2011 by Gyldendal Norsk Forlag.
The Embassy received 35 contributions from people ranging from 15 to 70 years old, living in both China and Norway.
