Eighty-year-old Chinese picture book artist Cai Gao attended the event in person to receive the medal and certificate, becoming the first Chinese illustrator to win this honor in the award's 60-year history.
The prize is awarded every two years by the International Board on Books for Young People (IBBY) to a living author (since 1956) and illustrator (since 1966). The award is often referred to as the "Nobel Prize for children's literature," honoring lifelong achievements that have made a lasting and important contribution to children's literature. 
During the award ceremony, IBBY President Basarat Kazim praised Cai for the elegant, unrushed style in her works, which encourages children to look closely and discover beauty in quiet corners, according to the Guangming Daily. 
Kazim said Cai's works have an unhurried elegance that encourages children to look closely and discover beauty in quiet, everyday moment.
"This year's winner, Cai Gao, is extremely special. She is as beautiful a person as the drawings she does," Kazim said.
Following author Cao Wenxuan's win of the Hans Christian Andersen Awards as a writer of children's literature in 2016, Cai's achievement means that Chinese creators have now won both the author and illustrator categories, a "double victory."
In her acceptance speech, Cai said, "The future of the world lies in children. There is no greater happiness than creating for them." She also noted that children's books are bridges, connecting cultures and hearts around the world.
Reflecting on her childhood and her years teaching in rural villages, Cai recalled that after six years working as a rural primary school teacher in the 1980s, she joined a publishing house, where she spent two decades as a children's book editor. "This job taught me the most important lesson: to see life through the eyes of a child, and to use art as a way of expressing my feelings about life," she noted.
"I feel the profound weight of this gift from life. I'm filled with mixed emotions. I'm moved and grateful for everything I've been through. Every experience has shaped me into the person I am today," she added.
Alongside her editing career, Cai kept creating original picture books. Her well-known book Yueliang Baba is based on folk songs her grandmother would sing in her native Changsha dialect. Works like Huocheng 1938 (lit: Fire City 1938) were inspired by memories of wartime in Changsha, capital of Central China's Hunan Province. The rural scenery and farming scenes in The Land of the Peach Blossom, a book which is also listed as textbooks for primary school students in Japan, all reflect her lifelong connection to the Hunan countryside and many years quietly editing books at her desk, according to the China News Service. 
Though her illustrations reflect the atmosphere of the times, Cai told the Global Times that her stories' true intentions go beyond the visual; she hopes her work can teach children that "fearlessness and love are ways to overcome hardship."
Books such as Bao'er, Hua Mulan, The Land of the Peach Blossom, and The Hundred Birds' Feather Robe have established Cai as an illustrator who skillfully interprets traditional Chinese culture. She constantly revisits the classics, striving to connect ancient stories to contemporary social and cultural themes.
Before winning the Hans Christian Andersen Award in 2026, Cai became, in 1993, the first Chinese illustrator to win the Golden Apple Award, one of the world's top international honors for children's illustration. Cai has always emphasized that these awards do not belong to her alone. 
"When I learned that I had won the award, my first thought was of all the creators of my generation. This award is not just mine, it belongs to all of us," she said.
Cai's victory fills a six-decade gap for Chinese illustrators in the award's history, Zhang Peng, an associate professor at Nanjing Normal University and also president of the university's publishing house, told the Global Times. It also shows that original picture books, rooted in Chinese tradition and told with Eastern aesthetics, are fully capable of earning global recognition, Zhang added.
Zhang noted that for a long time, the Chinese children's book market was dominated by foreign imports, and local authors often struggled with the anxiety of imitating Western works. At 80, Cai has set a striking example for the industry with her use of ink-and-wash folk art, proving that the more grounded in national culture a work is, the wider its global reach. This has inspired greater confidence among local creators and encourages more people to focus on traditional Chinese culture, while paving the way for Chinese children's books to go global.
"Cai's achievement is no accident. It marks the moment when Chinese children's books truly found their own voice on the world stage," Zhang said.

三 | 不过值得注意的是，本次“粤焕新”可领取的购新补贴只可以在入选活动商户名录的线下门店使用，广东苏宁相关负责人告诉南都湾财社记者，此次补贴政策，消费者可以通过支付立减的方式直接享受优惠。广东移动方面则表示，今年在移动门店有国家补贴、移动补贴、平台补贴、以旧换新补贴“四补合一”，广东移动新老用户在全省超过3000家移动营业厅和社会渠道网点购买手机，均可享受四重补贴叠加优惠，产品覆盖了华为、苹果、荣耀、小米、OPPO、vivo等热门品牌。例如，客户购机办理新入网199元套餐三年合约，手机价格直降2124元，加上国家购新补贴等，一台原价5999元的华为Mate70手机，只要不到3100元就能到手。此外，南都湾财社记者注意到，对比去年，此次名单中的门店增加了很多中小企业，其中不乏一些小型的手机个人门店，这也方便了消费者可以就近在附近门店选购。

四 | 苹果、华为多款旗舰手机降至6000元以内此前，按照有关规定，数码产品单件销售价格不超过6000元才能享受新一轮国补活动，这也意味着如苹果、华为等头部厂商的一些旗舰手机排除在“补贴名单”外。不过，随着国补活动的开展，多款旗舰手机已“降至”6000元以内，以满足补贴条件。南都湾财社记者在苏宁易购门店发现，苹果去年新发布的iPhone 16系列，其中256GB版原价6999元。导购员介绍，门店直接补贴1000元，再叠加国补，到手价5499元。此外，如华为Pura 70（12+512 G）、荣耀Magic 7 Pro（16+512G）、iPhone 16（128G、256G）和IPhone 16 PLUS（128G、256G）等旗舰机型，售价已补贴到6000元以下，这也意味着这些旗舰手机都可以享受国补。广东苏宁相关负责人表示，随着春节的临近，广东苏宁易购开展主题为“尽享国补 换新好年”活动，随着2025年家电以旧换新国补的开启，广东苏宁易购持续承接，在政府补贴的基础上叠加苏宁补贴、工厂补贴等多重补贴，至高优惠65%。用更多真金白银促进焕新消费，满足用户家电3C等换新需求。除了线下平台外，电商平台也提供了相关消费券。目前在淘宝、京东、拼多多等电商平台，直接搜索关键词“国补”，能够进入相应的专场链接。另外，登录“云闪付”并且定位到所在的地区，也能查看补贴信息。以iPhone16 plus 128G为例，记者发现此前售价为6199元，但在天猫券和国补叠加后的价格是5499元。

五 | 此外，厂商们也推出相应活动。OPPO方面表示Find X8全系列加入“国补”计划，最多可省800元，荣耀“年货节”优惠叠加“国补”折上折，全场至高减1500元。一加方面表示，目前全系产品都参与这次国补，立减15%。“这次一加还推出了限时优惠，像一加13、Ace 5 pro都有200～400元的限时立减，能和国补叠加使用。

六 | ”机构：一季度手机实际销量可能突破8000万部2024年过去一年国补活动的促消费效果显而易见。苏宁易购相关负责人告诉南都湾财社记者，2024年国补启动以来，广东苏宁易购门店以旧换新增长超150%，门店客流整体增长179%，家电以旧换新主渠道价值持续凸显。在家电补贴的带动下，去年还未纳入国补的手机、电脑销售也是增长翻倍，智能穿戴产品整体销量、销售额同比增长89%、138%。“这次加入数码产品的补贴，这块肯定还会大大增长。

七 | ”上述负责人透露，1月20日起，消费者购买手机、平板、智能手表（手环）等3类数码产品可享15%购新补贴。政策落地首日，苏宁易购迎来数码换新潮，门店客流提升3倍，手机销售同比增长336%，平板电脑销售同比提升437%，智能手表、手环销售增长均超220%。对此，数据机构Counterpoint Research报告表示，预计本次全国范围的刺激性政策可为 2025 年市场额外贡献约 2% 的增幅。多家主流手机品牌厂商为应对上半年可能出现的需求高峰，提升了产能与备货规模。其中小米的备货策略尤为积极，在今年春季主打性价比与旗舰下探的双重模式，以期在市场复苏窗口快速抢占份额。Counterpoint认为，国补政策加速了消费者的换机周期，特别是在售价3000—5000元区间的中高端机型中表现尤为明显。

八 | 预计2025年第一季度，中国市场的手机出货量将达到7500万—8000万部，同比增长超过10%；实际销量可能突破8000万部。采写：南都·湾财社记者 孔学劭。
