20 13 Mr. yang Zhenning, winner of the nobel prize in physics, once said to mo Yan, "speaking of the nobel prize, you (mo Yan) and I have different paths, and our origins are completely different." You are the son of a farmer and I am the son of a university professor. "
The words attracted laughter from the audience and made Mo Yan's life experience emerge in front of the public.
From 65438 to 0955, Mo Yan was born in Pinganzhuang, Dalan Township, Gaomi County, Shandong Province, and was the son of an out-and-out farmer.
Rural life has brought Mo Yan colorful fairy tales. When he was a child, Mo Yan was in close contact with nature from time to time. The countryside of Gaomi County has left traces of Mo Yan's growth everywhere.
While being close to nature, Mo Yan did not forget to do some farm work for his family. Planting sorghum, cotton, grazing livestock, mowing grass ... Mo Yan has everything at his fingertips and is a little helper of his parents.
Such a carefree "stocking" life, Mo Yan lived for ten years. In the past ten years, Mo Yan has gone deep into the fields, felt the ordinary life of ordinary people with his heart, and accumulated rich writing materials.
From 65438 to 0976, Mo Yan took a trip to join the army with deep nostalgia for his hometown. After coming to the army, Mo Yan successively served as monitor, security clerk, and was later appointed as a librarian.
The army's vast collection of books has become Mo Yan's spiritual food. Mo Yan seized this rare opportunity and read hundreds of classic works crazily, reading all the thousands of literary works in the library at one go, including Hegel's Logic and Marx's Capital.
A lot of reading inspired Mo Yan to write. 198 1, Mo Yan made his first attempt and published his debut short story "Spring Rain" in the bimonthly literary magazine "Lianchi" in Baoding, Hebei. Once the article was published, it immediately attracted the praise of countless readers, and also made Mo Yan embark on the road of writing.
02, literary masters
1984, Xu Huaizhong, then a teacher in the Literature Department of PLA Art University, came across Mo Yan's work "Folk Music". Xu Huaizhong, who is also a writer, was deeply moved by Mo Yan's literary talent at once, thus giving Mo Yan the opportunity to apply for the PLA Art University.
With the help of Xu Huaizhong, Mo Yan successfully became a freshman in the Department of Literature.
When he was a student, Mo Yan insisted on writing and eventually became famous with the novella Transparent Carrot. The literary circle even held a seminar on Mo Yan's creation in Beijing. This shows Mo Yan's position in the literary world.
1986, Mo Yan went one step further and published the novel Red Sorghum in People's Literature magazine, which caused a sensation in the literary world. For a time, Mo Yan's new works were talked about everywhere in the streets.
Mo Yan seems to be popular all over the country overnight, and his popularity is comparable to that of today's online celebrities.
Perhaps Red Sorghum is so famous that even Zhang Yimou, an outstanding director of the fifth generation, couldn't help making a film with the same name. After Red Sorghum became popular in the literary world, it added a classic background to the film industry.
Speaking of it, when Zhang Yimou was filming Red Sorghum, he went to Mo Yan's house specially in order to conform to the original work as far as possible. On that day, Zhang Yimou went out early to catch the bus, but accidentally broke his foot on the way, so he had to carry a shoe and awkwardly appeared downstairs in Mo Yan's house.
When Mo Yan lived in the dormitory, Zhang Yimou couldn't figure out Mo Yan's specific house number, so he called Mo Yan's name downstairs. After a while, I saw Mo Yan coming out of the toilet leisurely, and his appearance was not much better than that of Zhang Yimou.
As soon as they met, they immediately smiled at each other. Mo Yan bluntly said that Zhang Yimou looks like the production captain of their village; Zhang Yimou, on the other hand, said with a smile that Mo Yan's image is more like an accountant in their team.
The two men whose images are "grounded" are particularly serious about the revision of the script. After busy work, the two discussed taking a photo as a souvenir. As a result, a rare "shirtless" photo appeared in history, which was regarded as throwing the idol burden out of the clouds.
In 2003, Nobel Prize winner.
After the photo shoot, Zhang Yimou was busy making movies and Mo Yan was busy writing novels. Both of them gradually became masters in their respective fields.
Occasionally Mo Yan will talk about Zhang Yimou's new works. For example, when Zhang Yimou's work "Come Here" was released, Mo Yan immediately rushed to the cinema to support it. He also publicly stated that Zhang Yimou's work was so distracted that Mo Yan burst into tears on the spot.
When he said this, Mo Yan was already the Nobel Prize in Literature winner. It can be said that when Mo Yan holds the Nobel trophy, it not only represents Mo Yan's personal success, but also deserves to make the whole Chinese nation proud. China-born writers finally succeeded in standing on the highest podium in the world.
The blessing of the Nobel Prize made Mo Yan famous again. Some parents who worship Mo Yan took their children all the way to Gaomi County, Shandong Province, Mo Yan's hometown, just to appreciate Mo Yan's literature.
Once a remote village, it has now become a tourist attraction among network celebrities. But the villagers in Gaomi county don't seem to have much interest in people who suddenly visit. Some old people who have long been accustomed to the quiet life in the countryside even complain that their parents' troops trample on crops in the fields, or the so-called practice of digging up soil in front of Mo Yan's house to "get expensive".
When the news of his hometown's unexpected popularity reached Mo Yan's ears, the Nobel Prize in Literature winner had no choice but to appeal in the media, asking tourists not to disturb their neighbors and returning home to a calm sky.
However, Mo Yan's voice is not as good as parents' desire to cultivate "satellites", so countless parents still flock to Gaomi County like crucian carp crossing the river.
At this time, Mo Yan himself has become the star of capital competition, and he can only attend many business activities unrelated to writing under the arrangement of others.
According to public information, in the 1500 days after winning the Nobel Prize, Mo Yan went to at least 34 different cities around the world, attended 18 lectures and 26 conferences, and even wrote thousands of words and signed tens of thousands of names.
Just, there is no other masterpiece.
I just want to write quietly.
If the lack of time to write is only a temporary twist, then it is Mo Yan's long-standing regret that his works have not been selected into Chinese textbooks. Long before winning the Nobel Prize, Mo Yan caused great controversy for many times because his works were biased towards magical realism.
For example, one of Mo Yan's representative works, "Big Breasts and Fat Buttocks", once stung the sensitive nerves of some netizens. Although Mo Yan's original intention is to praise his mother's greatness through this work. But in the eyes of some netizens, the title alone is enough to cause discomfort to conservatives.
As a result, netizens did not hesitate to report that the title and content of "big breasts and fat buttocks" were too straightforward, which violated the traditional etiquette of Chinese people. This directly led to the fact that Mo Yan's works were once banned and never appeared in front of readers.
Other works with a similar style to "Big Breasts and Fat Buttocks" have successfully escaped the fate of being banned with the help of the huge aura of Mo Yanuo Prize winners.
However, netizens strongly oppose the inclusion of Mo Yan's works in students' textbooks on the grounds that these works are indecent and not suitable for children.
Some radical netizens also submitted letters criticizing Mo Yan's works to the competent authorities at all levels.
Under the pressure of public opinion, Mo Yan's works finally missed the textbook. However, Mo Yan himself is very indifferent to this. As he said in sandalwood punishment: "the most taboo in the world is perfection ... in order to persevere, everything must be left a little lacking."
Someone once said, "As far as literary works are concerned, Mo Yan deserves ten Mao Dun Awards!"
It is true that Mo Yan's literary attainments are melodious, but his status as a Nobel Prize winner has attracted too much attention.
People can't help asking Mo Yan's high standards. Once Mo Yan's works are slightly unsatisfactory, countless accusations will follow.
However, since ancient times, literature has never been the first, and martial arts has never been the second. Perhaps the preciousness of literary works lies in its lack of standard answers.
Just as there are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand readers, the shocking features of Mo Yan's works in the eyes of the world may just reflect the value of his works.
Unfortunately, the traditional etiquette and the unique implication of China people always make Mo Yan's works seem out of tune with people's lives. As a result, after Mo Yan won the Nobel Prize, his works still failed to enter the Chinese textbook.
Fortunately, Mo Yan believes in Buddhism. He once said publicly, "I hope China can get the second Nobel Prize in Literature as soon as possible. In that case, the focus will be on him, so I can hide aside and write quietly. "
Nine, Wan Li's enlightenment ends in poetry, wine and countryside. It is not enough whether Mo Yan's works have won prizes or been published in textbooks. As long as the surging enthusiasm is in his heart and the wonderful articles are in his pen, that is enough.
After all, Chunqiu didn't know I was guilty!
