Although he grew up in a single-parent family, Mo Bosang received a good family education since childhood. His mother trained him to write poetry in his childhood, and when he became a famous writer, he was still his literary adviser and critic, so his mother was Mo Bosang's first teacher on the road of literary creation. In his youth, Mo Bosang's mother's brother was an old friend of Flaubert, a famous writer, and Louis Buye, a ballas poet. When Mo Bosang was studying in Gao Naiyi Middle School in Rouen City, he met these two friends of his uncle. At this time, he was already a young man who loved literature and began to write poems. He heard "concise teachings" from these two predecessors and gained "profound understanding of skills" and "the power to keep trying". Unfortunately, Louis Buyer died in 1869.
In the same year, Mo Bosang went to the University of Paris to study law. Soon after the Franco-Prussian War broke out, Mo Bosang was drafted into the army and worked as a document and communication worker in the army. This disaster made him witness the shameful defeat of the French army, the meanness of those in power and property, and the patriotic enthusiasm and heroic deeds of ordinary people, which became another important source of his literary creation in the future.
After retiring from the army after the war, due to the financial difficulties of his family, Mo Bosang began to work as a clerk in the Admiralty in March 1872, and after seven years, he was transferred to the Ministry of Education, until he completely resigned in 1881. In the empty and boring life of small staff, Mo Bosang unfortunately contracted the bad habit of doing nothing and his private life was very dissolute, which planted the curse for his premature death in the future. But on the other hand, he has been writing diligently, and has been assiduously honed for ten years under the specific guidance of Flaubert. During this period, in 1876, I met Lekszi, Thar Al, Huisman and other writers, all of whom worshipped Zola, and often got together in the Meitang Villa, which was located in the suburb of Paris, for the Meitang Group. In 188, A Night in Meitang, a collection of six writers of Meitang Group, was published with the theme of the Franco-Prussian War, among which Mo Bosang's boule de suif was the most outstanding. The brilliant success of this novella made Mo Bosang famous in the Paris literary world overnight.
in addition to boule de suif, a treasure in the short story library, Mo Bosang also wrote Family (1881), My Uncle Yule (1883), Miloon's Dad (1383), Two Friends (1883) and Necklace (1884). Mo Bosang's novels also achieved relatively high achievements. He wrote six novels: Life, Good Friends, Hot Springs, Pierre and John, Strong as Death and Our Heart, the first two of which have been included in the world's famous novels.
Mo Bosang had early symptoms of neuralgia. He struggled tenaciously with the disease for a long time, and insisted on writing. The great labor intensity and the dissolute life that did not converge later made him seriously ill. Until 1891, he could no longer write. After suffering from cruel diseases, he finally died on July 6, 1893 at the age of 43.
