Hertha Mueller (1953 August 17) was born in a peasant family in Nikidov, a small town in Timish County, western Romania, where German is widely used.
1973 to 1976. Miller studied German literature and Romanian literature at timisoara University. Most of the students in this university are ethnic minorities such as Hungarians or Germans. These ethnic minorities are often marginalized in Romania, so they have always had a very strong hostility towards Romanians. Miller joined the "Banat Action Team" during this period. This organization was founded in 1972, and its members are a group of German minority youths in Schwaben, Banat. Its purpose is to pursue freedom of speech. This group of writers often made fierce remarks against the centralization of Romania at that time, and Miller was no exception.
Miller worked as a translator in a factory after graduation, but refused to be an informant of the secret police and report his colleagues in the factory because of his resolute uncooperative attitude. 1979 was dismissed from the factory. After that, Miller was monitored, followed, even searched and interrogated by the secret police, and her normal life was seriously disturbed. In this high-pressure social environment, fear has become an inseparable part of Miller's life, and she tried to get rid of this dark life by committing suicide. Of course, this attempt didn't succeed, but Miller found another way to open his heart: literary creation.
1982, Miller published his first literary work in Romania, which was a collection of short stories called "The Lowlands", describing the hard life of a small German-speaking village in Romania, and was censored and deleted by Romanian authorities shortly after publication.
1984, the unedited version of this collection of short stories was published in Germany and was enthusiastically sought after by German readers. Later, Miller wrote the book Heavy Tango in Romanian.
Because he criticized Romania many times in the book and worried about the intrusion of the secret police, Miller finally left Romania, exhausted physically and mentally, and came to Berlin, Germany, and became a professional writer from then on, with the help of Germany's return policy at that time.
1995, she became a member of the German Language and Poetry Society. Miller also teaches in various universities, and was hired as a visiting professor by Kassel University and Free University of Berlin in 1998 and 2005 respectively.
In 2009, he published The Swing of Breathing and won the Nobel Prize in Literature. The reason for winning the prize is: "Who described the life of the unemployed with the condensed poems and essays".
20 13 10, Miller was rushed to a hospital in southwest Germany for treatment due to severe gastrointestinal perforation. Christina Neikter, editor of her publishing company, later said that Miller had been well taken care of and was recovering.
