Of course, I am also extremely disappointed with his later works, such as Chest and Hip, Fatigue of Life and Death, Frog and so on. I really don't know whether my reading sense is deteriorating or Mo Yan's level is declining. Of course, literature is literature, which needs sincere reading and fair evaluation: Mo Yan won the prize, and readers must have their own real reading feelings.
The real reading experience is to read literature as literature, instead of simplifying literature into "current political criticism" like those vicious pseudo-"public knowledge". These guys, who are afraid of chaos in the world and stand on the false moral high ground, cater to and provoke the demands of the public, consume politics, flaunt themselves with extreme views, enrich themselves, and think that the public is a fool. I hate it. Mr. Liu is a hero and Mo Yan is a master. However, these hypocritical guys always like to kidnap others morally. All right, forget about them. I get angry when I talk about them.
Let's talk about Mo Yan: Mo Yan is probably the most widely read and diligent writer in China's literary world. Boda originated from his many and extensive writing attempts, full of experimental and innovative spirit, and his brushwork is Wang Yang's wanton, vigorous and free and easy. Diligence stems from the product of the quantity and quality of his writing, and also from his unremitting pioneering spirit. As far as China is concerned, no one can beat him.
The following is my random feeling of reading Mo Yan four years ago, which is fragmentary and arbitrary, but it is my true feeling. In fact, truly speaking, China people have regarded the Nobel Prize too high for a long time, which is puzzling. From the literary level alone, novels like Gao Xingjian can win the Nobel Prize, and Mo Yan is by no means the only writer in contemporary China who can win the Nobel Prize. Therefore, the Nobel Prize does have obvious political evaluation, and it is not just an award based on literary value. Of course, more importantly, it was not the Nobel Prize that made Mo Yan, but Mo Yan's works that made Mo Yan; Not that Mo Yan was awarded the Nobel Prize, but that the Nobel Prize was worthy of Mo Yan; Only great works, no great awards!
