Extended data:

Mo Yan's works are violent. Red Sorghum, published by 1986, is a primary text, as if it were a primitive dictionary, which contains some basic violent words such as adultery, drinking, beheading and peeling.

They are a witness to verify the existence of "national primitive vitality".

After that, Mo Yan became a staunch writer of cool words, such as Braised Baby in Wine Country, Stripping Dogs by Building Roads, Stripping Cats by Herbivorous Family, Gutting the Dead in the Elixir, and Hitting People in the Cotton Washing Machine. Mo Yan shows the physical and psychological feelings brought by violence with his unique sensory description.

Sandalwood Punishment is the pinnacle of Mo Yan's violent aesthetics. In the ninth chapter of his masterpiece, he used more than 14,000 words to describe the process of money's death. With his profound language skills and amazing imagination, Mo Yan presented vivid and thrilling torture scenes for readers.

Every time a sharp knife is cut, the victim cries out in pain, and all of them converge into a strange pleasure of writing, flowing between the sentences of the novel, as if it were a tragic light from hell. This is not Kafka's gloomy punishment, but a kind of physical carnival mixed with extreme abuse and abuse, just like the last feast before the collapse of the empire.

This extreme description of violence polarized readers' evaluation. People who don't like it immediately throw books and spit, and people who like it can't stop. As Ge Haowen, an American sinologist and translator of Mo Yan's works, said, "Sandalwood punishment is cruel and terrible, but you still want to read it. Finally, you will ask yourself why you want to read? "
