Mo Yan (1955-), male, formerly named Guan, is one of the most dynamic writers in China. Since the mid-1980s, it has emerged with a series of local works. Although he was classified as a "root-seeking" writer in his early days, his writing style is known for his boldness, and his novels are always full of offensive language. For example, in the classic Red Sorghum Family, the bloody scenes that constantly appear are full of strong emotional complaints, but between the scenes of "shit flying", it is actually a modern revolutionary history. The vast and wild sorghum field in the story is also described as a vast and dazzling space criss-crossing history, tradition and urban and rural areas.
After experiencing the writing peak of Red Sorghum, Mo Yan continued to seek a breakthrough, creating a large number of short and medium-sized works and several novels with great weight, such as Wine Country and Chest and Buttock. A number of novel collections, such as Red Ear and Legend of Mo Yan, were also launched in Taiwan Province Province. As he spent most of his childhood in the countryside, Mo Yan claimed that he was deeply influenced by folk stories or legends, and a scene and an event in his hometown of Gaomi was the source of inspiration for his creation. The ghost stories circulating in the countryside as a child have also become the material of many absurd novels by Mo Yan. There is a mysterious South American magic realism in the film, which describes a person's "transformation" and brings out waves of mystery with gorgeous language. Wine Country depicts the story of a famous wine-rich place with romantic descriptions. Mangrove has realized the time-space transformation of novel theme and the exploration and renewal of creative methods, which is a great transcendence of itself.
No matter whether the situational atmosphere of the story is gorgeous, absurd or bizarre, Mo Yan's rich imagination space and surging rhetoric front can always make people marvel-as Zhang said in the preface of Red Ears: "How can Mo Yan"!
