Mo Yan

57-year-old Mo Yan won the Nobel Prize in Literature. Because of the prestige brought by the Nobel Prize itself, Mo Yan became a busy man. People all over China were shocked. Mo Yan is the first Nobel Prize in Literature winner in China. Although China's pure literature has fallen behind in the contemporary era when fast food is prevalent, the appearance of Mo Yan undoubtedly set off a huge wave of pure literature again. ?

Some people question why a writer like Mo Yan can gain such a reputation internationally, but most people in China have never heard of him. I haven't heard of Mo Yan's great achievements and whether he is a neglected talent. This is the label people attach to various identities. Before that, Mo Yan's works had already been paid attention to in China's literary world and won the Mao Dun Literature Prize. After Mo Yan won the Nobel Prize in Literature, the people of China turned their attention to him.

Mo Yan once wrote a limerick mocking this? Follow the trend? 、? Salute? So-called? Great label? Phenomenon. In modern society, personality and appearance are the labels of people, ability is the label of people, and education is also the label of people. Harvard University is a very powerful academic label, and all the students in it will be proud that they are from Harvard University. 20 14 When Mo Yan was invited to visit Harvard University, he saw an interesting phenomenon.

There is a statue of founder John in Harvard University. The bronze statue of Harvard, visitors to Harvard University like to touch the left foot of the bronze statue, because it is said that his left foot can bring good luck. See a dozen people waiting in line? Touch your feet? Taking pictures, the paint on the left foot of the bronze statue was knocked off, revealing the copper-yellow metal inside. Mo Yan can't help but frown. He felt it and wrote a limerick as shown in the picture.

2065438+In June 2007, Mo Yan gave a speech at the graduation ceremony of Shantou University. At that time, Li Ka-shing was a director of Shantou University, so he was naturally in the audience. As soon as Mo Yan came to power, his words were amazing: Ma Yun and Bill? Gates is nothing. ? All the students in the audience thought he wanted it? Blow your own horn? After a while, I didn't know what medicine he was selling in the gourd, and they looked at each other. Mo Yan quickly flashed his own limerick as an explanation of his point of view.

As soon as the students heard it, they understood that it was humorous and ironic, and they all burst out laughing. But only Li Ka-shing really understood the meaning of this sentence and clapped his hands silently. So Mo Yan is not just being sarcastic? Holding smelly feet? Are hypocritical people also educating students? Heroes don't ask the source? .

Bill, once the richest man in the world? Gates used to be a student at Harvard University, but he went out to start a business before finishing college. Tear it up? The label Harvard University. Ma Yun's experience was not smooth sailing. When he was young, he took the college entrance examination three times in a row, but his score still didn't reach. Finally, relying on top English, he was able to study at Hangzhou Normal University.

Mo Yan teaches students that Shantou University doesn't sound as famous as Harvard University, but with the same persistence and hard work, it will become a success. Li Ka-shing has a deep understanding of this. 1939, 1 1 years old, he was forced to drop out of junior high school because of the war, and all his later doctorates were obtained after he became famous. In the meantime, he kept learning and fighting for his dreams, and he was well aware of the setbacks and pressures he suffered.

Similarly, Mo Yan dropped out of school in the fifth grade, but he always insisted on his literary dream and came back from work every day to study and write, which made him what he is today. His master's degree in literature was obtained after he had many works.
