China's first online literature university was established on Oct. 30, 2013. The Nobel Literature Prize Laureate Mo Yan is acting as honorary principal. It was built jointly by many online literature websites. Writers and editors from major literature websites were invited to be teachers for the university. The university aims to offer free training for literature lovers and help them start their career as soon as possible. Learners can receive literature training online without stepping out of their houses. About 100 thousand learners are expected to benefit from the training every year.
