Mo Yan, a native of Gaomi, Shandong Province, experienced a difficult and long road of literary creation in his early years. Mo Yan had contact with Ma Weidou in 1980s, and some of his early works were edited by Ma Weidou. From 65438 to 0987, China's film industry developed rapidly, and Mo Yan met another noble person: China's fifth-generation director Zhang Yimou. Zhang Yimou's "Red Sorghum" made China people who were still in the cultural desert know Mo Yan in a short time. Then, Mo Yan's fame rose all the way, but not many people really knew Mo Yan.
Mo Yan won Nobel Prize in Literature's Frog, which made him win Mao Dun Literature Prize for the first time. The judging procedure of China Mao Dun Literature Prize is extremely strict, so general works can't be easily entered. Mo Yan also spent a lot of effort on this novel. He first brewed for many years, then cultivated for four years, and finally finalized it. 20 1 1 Mo Yan won the 8th Mao Dun Literature Prize for Frog. 20 12 mo Yan won the Nobel Prize in Literature. After Mo Yan won the Nobel Prize in Literature, China talents woke up like a dream. It turns out that there are such great writers in China.
In fact, before Mo Yan, people from China won the Nobel Prize, but not from China. For example, Yang Zhenning and Li Zhengdao, who won the Nobel Prize in Physics, were all trained by Americans and later became American citizens. It is worth mentioning that Mr. Yang Zhenning gave up his American citizenship and brought back Yao Qizhi, a top Chinese scientist in the computer field. Mo Yan won the Nobel Prize, which not only filled the gap that China-born China people didn't win the Nobel Prize, but also filled the gap that China literature circle didn't have Nobel Prize in Literature. Therefore, no matter from which angle, Mo Yan's acquisition of Nobel Prize in Literature is of unspeakable significance.
Mo Yan is 64 years old and no longer young. In fact, after Mo Yan won the Nobel Prize in Literature, he entered a period when his writing was relatively dry. In fact, most writers face the same pressure and praise after winning the grand prize. The pressure is everywhere, which makes Mo Yan very passive. Mo Yan is not a prolific writer and needs a long time to polish himself. Therefore, after winning the Nobel Prize, Mo Yan chose a low-key life, and basically could not find Mo Yan's shadow after the uproar. Mo Yan's current situation is generally the same, and he is engaged in his favorite writing career with a low profile.
In Mo Yan's spare time, calligraphy occupies a considerable part. Mo Yan, with the simplicity and kindness of Shandong people, took a very strict attitude towards holding calligraphy exhibitions. People often say that a person is not satisfied with the status quo, but for Mo Yan, he is more satisfied with the status quo. He doesn't want to appear in public view too much, but he wants to be a "storyteller" wholeheartedly. This is the life that Mo Yan really wants, and the hustle and bustle does not belong to Mo Yan.
