Second, the gains and losses of the inspirational story "Military Academy Dream":

1978 1 month, Mo Yan went to Beijing on business and went back to his hometown of Gaomi to visit relatives. After returning to the army, the leader talked to Mo Yan and said that the superior assigned a quota to the company to apply for Zhengzhou Institute of Engineering and Technology of the People's Liberation Army. After research, he decided to let Mo Yan review his lessons and prepare for the exam. Mo Yan's head buzzed and his brain was covered for a long time.

Mo Yan remembers very clearly that at noon that day, he gave everyone a "lion head" to improve their lives. At that time, it was a rare delicacy, but it was like chewing wax. This is the first time in my life that Mo Yan realized the feeling of eating tasteless meat. Why? Because the leaders on the station always thought that Mo Yan was a high school student, they decided to let Mo Yan take the exam.

But Mo Yan is actually in the fifth grade of primary school. He may be able to cope with Chinese and politics, but he knows nothing about mathematics, science and chemistry. It is really too difficult for Mo Yan to apply for computer terminal maintenance. But if you tell the truth, Mo Yanxi's meeting will be completely finished. Mo Yan crustily skin of head promised.

A radio technician in the army is surnamed Ma, a native of Hunan, the same age as Mo Yan. He is kind to Mo Yan and encourages him. He said that as far as he knows, the allocation of examination places is actually for care. The exam is just a formality, as long as you can't hand in a blank sheet of paper, you can enter school. But Mo Yan can't even do four operations and add and subtract fractions.

Technician Ma offered to teach him to study, so Mo Yan made up his mind to work hard. Mo Yan wrote home and sent him all the middle and high school textbooks used by his eldest brother, and went to the horse technician for classes every night. With the approval of the leader, Mo Yan was given a table and a chair in the tool storage room to study when he was not on duty.

Mo Yan struggled between hope and despair. More is despair, and hope is fading. At that time, Mo Yan was sallow and emaciated with fluffy hair. The instructor said Mo Yan was like a prisoner. In August, the tutor talked to Mo Yan and said, "The superior just called, and the examination quota originally allocated to Mo Yan Station was cancelled. I hope you can treat it correctly.

"On the one hand, his words made Mo Yan feel relieved; on the other hand, they made Mo Yan feel deeply disappointed. The instructor announced this at the whole station meeting, and at the same time announced the restoration of Mo Yan's position as the deputy monitor of the security class.

At that time, it was an upsurge of learning culture in the whole army, and the instructor asked Mo Yan to teach mathematics to the soldiers on the station. When teaching mathematics to the soldiers, Mo Yan realized that he had really learned a lot of knowledge in half a year. Later, the superior leaders came down to inspect and listened to Mo Yan's trigonometric function class, which was very good. Mo Yan can be transferred to Baoding Training Brigade as a teacher, which is related to this class.

1999 Mo Yan revisited his hometown, and the military camp has become a chicken farm. Going to the storage room of that year, the formulas of number, reason and transformation that Mo Yan doodled on the wall are still discernible.

Extended data

Mo Yan s China Traditional Art of storytelling;

While studying western modernism, Mo Yan soon realized that he wanted to escape from the "scorching blast furnace" like Faulkner, Marquez and other western modernist masters, and the result of his escape was to return to his literary hometown "Gaomi Northeast Township".

He tried hard to draw nutrition from Qilu culture, Pu Songling's Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio, Romance of the Gods and Yuan Zaju, and from traditional folk cultural resources such as folk stories and folk art (including high-density ash-throwing New Year pictures, high-density clay sculptures, high-density paper-cutting and Qiang Mao). ).

In particular, Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio had a great influence on Mo Yan. Mo Yan once commented that Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio is a work of "turning decay into magic". 20 12 Mo Yan delivered Nobel Prize in Literature's lecture "The Storyteller" in Sweden. He said: "More than 200 years ago, a great storyteller-Pu Songling was born in my hometown, and there are many people in our village. Fatigue of Life and Death is the novel that best reflects the influence of Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio on Mo Yan.

Mo Yan was inspired by various folk arts, legends and ancient literary texts that were biased towards the romance of ghosts and gods, such as Tu in The Condor Heroes and Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio, which appeared in a large number of cultural relics in his hometown of Dongyi and gained fresh nourishment from rich real life. His creation partially or partially simulates history and reality, and at the same time, it has inserted the wings of free imagination.

Moreover, psychologically and logically, it has achieved a near-perfect combination of high authenticity and superb artistic creativity, so that on the basis of inheriting modernist masters such as Yasunari Kawabata, Kafka, Faulkner and Marquez, it is rooted in the land of local culture and literature and art, and has achieved a leap from "modernism in China" to "modernism in China".
