The year of 20 12 is definitely a milestone of great significance for China's literary world. Mo Yan won the Nobel Prize in Literature, which not only filled the gap of Nobel Prize in China literature, but also filled the gap of China writers without Nobel Prize. No matter from which point of view, Mo Yan's capture of Nobel Prize in Literature is something worth writing about. There are many people who are popular. After winning the Nobel Prize in Literature, Mo Yan experienced applause from flowers and met with all kinds of cold reception.
I'm afraid it's hard to understand. Nobel Prize winners in other countries are all kinds of honors and blessings, with face and lining, and will not be as embarrassed as Mo Yan. Mo Yan's indifference is mainly manifested in the inside and outside of literature. On the one hand, Mo Yan's literary accomplishment is suppressed in various ways. They think that Mo Yan's works, in order to cater to the West, contain some demeaning, ugly and realistic displays. In this way, Mo Yan became an alternative in literature, and the criticism of his literature rose to the issue of national justice.
On the other hand, Mo Yan's indifference is mainly manifested outside literature, especially holding calligraphy exhibitions. It stands to reason that a celebrity has nothing to do with calligraphy and can be understood. Mo Yan is not a professional calligrapher, but he also held calligraphy exhibitions, which caused quite a stir. Mo Yan's calligraphy has become the target of attack again. It is estimated that Mo Yan himself is embarrassed to write calligraphy again.
A series of cold words made people gradually lose sight of Mo Yan. Why did Mo Yan receive such a cold reception? What did he do? First of all, Mo Yan is very low-key, and basically has not responded to the indifference of others. Generally speaking, people with a little temper will make some counterattacks in the face of accusations from public opinion. For example, critic Lao Liang bravely stood up and defended his interests through legal means in the face of many criticisms. Mo Yan, however, stood still at home for a few days, which also contributed to getting colder and colder.
Secondly, Mo Yan's literary works really dare to expose the reality, even the old cultural scars. Generally speaking, really good works are unpleasant and look like thorns. Journey to the west was also banned at the beginning, and it was also a big violation in people's eyes. Wu Cheng'en's experience and Mo Yan's coldness are all pains before a work becomes a classic.
Finally, some people are jealous of fame, and occasionally give Mo Yan a little shoes, and Mo Yan himself didn't take it. Although scholars despise each other since ancient times, it is common for scholars to wear small shoes on each other. For example, the "curse" between Lu Xun and Guo Moruo, from the beginning of concealment to the present openness, is too uncomfortable for each other. The reason is that Lu Xun is so famous that he has to be scolded and enthusiastic if he wants to be famous. Sure enough, Guo Moruo, who scolded Lu Xun, was really angry.
Based on the above three reasons, it is not difficult to understand why Mo Yan, after winning the Nobel Prize, was obviously worthy of respect, but was given the cold shoulder by others for no reason. Mo Yan has the simplicity and kindness of Shandong people. Faced with the indifference of others, he chose to do nothing. However, the realistic public opinion regards Mo Yan's forbearance as weakness, and his indifference continues, but Mo Yan remains unmoved. This is everyone's demeanor.
