In Nuo award disease group below pressure, mo Yan does not have rash advance hope for success already, also do not have craven not before, go all the way according to oneself rhythm however, this is us most happy those who see.
With 2018 year he most the short story that gets attention " await Mosaic " in light of, mo Yan does not have too sedulous language, too the gimmick of flowery, just press time to narrate with means of the first person, be bordering on the memoir of on-the-spot record sex. The story of leading role is absurd, it is the sober perspective with spectator is explained however come out, maintain one's composure between, present a politics naturally to grind depressive life, reflected odd current situation of the history.
This is with simple way the book writes a romance, reflected big artisan to be like the work force of clumsy.
From " red broomcorn " arrive " white sandalwood punishment " , writing object of Mo Yan is centered in rock-bottom agrestic nobody, " await Mosaic " still continue this one theme, but sadly key park follower of a religion this one group. Leading role original name " willow is Mosaic " , incognito " Liu Weidong " , condensed the shifty of the times, it is the set of deep intended flavour.
This is a Mo Yan breakthrough on writing subject matter it seems that, the likelihood is adumbrative new narrative space.
" await Mosaic " story setting still is put in Shandong high density. Mo Yan did not leave from beginning to end over there, resemble Antaiesi at the earth, mo Yan still is from high density derive exert oneself is measured, derive is worn literary vitality and passion.

Literary creation is entered the 3rd round
Reporter: Since you after winning Nobel literature award " reappear " , of newest writing stylistic have play of literature of short story, opera, poetry, why can you undertake such much more stylistic creation tries?
Mo Yan: I become famous with the novel, what like to write most still is a novel. But the attempt of forms of any a kind of literature, to the novel creative work has positive effect.
All sorts of art comprehend by analogy, the opera of folk of novel creation profit from that I go is very much, resemble " white sandalwood punishment " , this novel makes fun of to be linked together cheek by jowl with the luxuriant antrum of my birthplace, there is many opera element inside, and the edification that I accepted civilian opera namely as a child, alimentary.
Come how many years, hope to be able to write an opera all the time, sign up for this kind of artistic form back and forth alimentary to mine favour. The opera literature drama that published 2017 " bright and beautiful garment " , I begin to conceive ten years ago. Was 2000 in speech of Australia, I told this story that the mother has related to me in those days, next I say to be able to write it into play of an opera literature in the future.
Procrastinated a lot of years all the time, be in eventually 2015 when be written, revise it later published.
I write poetry actual be greet to the poet. Had written this kind of poem only, I just can read this kind of poem of others better; Had written opera literature script only, I just can understand the opera literature play of others better.
In the past, have a lot of verses I look not to understand. After writing a few groups of poems, feel those read the poem that does not know in those days, look very clearly now. I know why he wants such writing, I also know occasionally a few words inside certain poetry, him poet is not clear also, but he draws up came.
In some sense, ground of one is assured and bold with justice keeps the job that does not understand his come out, it is a poem. The ground of attack by surprise of job cover cloak that understands oneself draws up come, also be a poem.
Anyhow, the experiment of a variety of this style is a very agreeable process.
Reporter: Your novel creation is in 2009 " frog " later appear to pause, come out 10 years without novel, why?
Mo Yan: I know some readers have to my novel expect, I very appreciate. Since everybody hopes I am written full length, I affirm or should write. Not be everybody hopes I must write me of course, because there still are a few feature-length conceptions in my heart,be, so I want to write.
Full length this kind of artistic form is novel domain really inside serious great work, also most test power of the endurance of a writer, physical strength, ability.
Reporter: Some closer year wrote so much short story, what to feel and write novel to have to differ?
Mo Yan: The first round of creative work that I create career should be from short story, medium piece, full length, arrive next " abundant breast fat buttock " . After be being written, another metempsychosis, it is short story, medium piece, full length.
So be entered the 3rd round now, begin by Thespian, short story, poetry namely. Choose to begin from the short story first, because,be after bear the palm, the various drag in on time energy, in the various interference on spirit, make I write novel without paragraphs of big time.
And the time that the short story takes up is relatively a few less, additionally writing short story also can make his writing skill unapt not close, make oneself brains hour gets training inside literature, the passion that holds a kind of creative work and to literary material sensitive.
Reporter: In the age that the network writes, height of science and technology develops, what kind of effect do this kind of new carrier and the times atmosphere that its bring have to your writing?
Mo Yan: About writing of network literature, network, I also talked a lot of. Above all the cent that I think the literature on network literature and traditional sense does not have relative superiority or inferiority, also emerge now reveal a lot of outstanding network literature work.
Its occurrence is the child of times and science and technology, literary carrier turned network, electron into the book from paper, but no matter how science and technology changes, the standard of fine literature work did not change, the person that compose wants to draw up the target of outstanding work also did not run.
All features of instantly times are met the influence with among them individual to the life thorough generation, to the writer, their feeling probably more meticulous and intense. This kind of inevitable to the feeling of instantly meeting is shown in my work come, if will read my work according to time order, you can experience this a few years to come clearly the change of the times.
Go up century 80 time, I read unreal of demon of a few Latin America realistic work. These writing say with its to me is " influence " , be inferior to saying is " inspire " , inspire me to found oneself literary base area, draw up have oneself the work of distinctive color.
I won't follow idea of some kind of literature painstakingly, also pay no attention to the cent of new old idea, to me character, draw up brilliant old practice, shape a distinctive and dramatic character image, it is my literary idea.
Reporter: Of the person that is young to instantly generation composed piece what kind of observation is there?
Mo Yan: I often read their work. Very old light writer moves very adept. I believe each acting metropolis appears particularly outstanding writer.
Prospective novel won't happen in high density probably
Reporter: No matter be reader, commenter or writer, value novel more it seems that, it seems that the top level that novel ability represents a writer, how do you read the dividing line of both, whether do they have the branch of weight?
Mo Yan: I once had written an article " the dignity of defend novel " come illuminate my view to novel, but the branch that the short story in meaning me to think and novel have relative superiority or inferiority.
Full length not be the exclusive level that measures writer art to accomplish: Full length it may not be a bad idea, medium an it may not be a bad idea, short story it may not be a bad idea, it is very important. A lot of old writers of foreign, mulberry of husband of scold resembling a contract, Mo Bo is become famous with short story, but their literary position still is important.
Abroad also takes the short story seriously very much now, but in home, everybody is to value novel more really, this is I do not understand what reason. But everybody does not forget Lu Xun to had not been written full length, pu Songling also had not been written full length went.
Reporter: Your inchoate short story appears more poetic flavour has literary sex more, pay attention to a kind of a kind of atmosphere, feeling build, and " await Mosaic " more cold high is succinct, long sentence a lot of less also, is backside of this kind of change what to reason and consideration stem from?
Mo Yan: Short story creation is perforative I up to now invent profession. I wrote nearly 100 short stories, also drilled all sorts of styles and skill, have the poetic flavour that you say, literary sex is strong, also have style smooth fact.
Roll out this group of short story that give priority to a problem with home occurrences in human life recently, everybody also noticed phonetic a few characteristics, this has particular concern with the experience of my individual and mood admittedly, but I did not pursue some kind of style painstakingly, it is the accent that these story itself found him actually.
Reporter: The subject matter with your more short story is actual, gimmick also is realistically, it is with you it seems that in novel of gimmick of more demon unreal apply different, is this adumbrative your creation begins to change direction realistic?
Mo Yan: Is what you point to the short story creation of my near future? " home occurrences in human life " the impression that series may give authority is smoother fact, of Piao Zhuo. Actually, I wrote a lot of short stories, also tried all sorts of styles.
An an Italy translator is translating my short story, have among them " hover " " iron child " " nocturnal fishing " " adventure " " the beauty riding an ass on Chang'an highway " etc, these short stories are presumable be like colour of unreal, rich demon unreal, so this translator says this group of novels are ghost story of Mo Yan, demon unreal story.
But no matter style how " demon unreal " , the core of these stories is realistic still.
I never think realistic outdated. The problem is how actual, it is what kind of reality. Swedish literature courtyard evaluates me is: "Through psychedelic realistic be together folktale, history and contemporary society confluence. " it is very accurate that I feel this is evaluated.
Reporter: Comparative and inchoate short story is created, present creation subject matter appeared to change abjection to countryside intellectual to figure model, this whether adumbrative your attention weighs the move of the heart? Can northeast countryside still be your novel creation " base area " ?
Mo Yan: My near future publishs " home occurrences in human life " kept person of country of a group of instantly, have once all kinds of people such as the farmer entrepreneur with abjection now scene, country young person that has new generation, cadre, also included the rustic intellectual that you say of course. "Countryside of high density northeast " it is the source that I create all the time, but the times is changing, the person of birthplace and thing also are going, I reflect this kind of change in the novel hard all the time.
Birthplace provides my resource and inspiration can continually all the time, the small narrate that I did not come to won't happen in countryside of high density northeast probably, but the inspiration that can include actual birthplace to bring me certainly and inspire.
Reporter: How long can be the creation phase that gives priority to with the short story still maintained? When is the plan a next novel to roll out? What kind of subject matter can you be?
Mo Yan: This problem replies harder. Sometimes inspiration came, I can take the first stroke of a Chinese character to write, this inspirational meeting develops a short story still is medium piece full length even, I also am not controlled sometimes. Writing sometimes writing, short story is written into full length.
About novel, I know the reader cares this problem most. I can say I can try hard to draw up one lets his truly satisfactory work only. Subject matter, have several conception, etc draw up come you knew naturally.
Give the proposal of young writer: Read more write more consider more
Reporter: The metropolis after a lot of people win Nuo award is immersed in so called " cuss of Nuo award demon " , so your individual becomes silent in what be as long as 5 years during, had generated the worry of writing?
Mo Yan: If say a bit angst is done not have, that also is dishonest. From me begin the following day after bear the palm, I want how to be broken through so called " cuss of Nuo award demon " .
Someone says, this person got Nuo award to cannot be created again, do not write give good work to come. This kind of phenomenon has its objective reason really. I learned this objective reason adequately also, it is various on time energy drag in, in the various interference on spirit, this is existence.
Fortunately my bear the palm when younger, 57 years old, still should be the heyday of creation. Place emergence with time of 5 years, enter round of new creative work. Look this process is a bit long, but coming true stage by stage.
Reporter: Can you have when compose now " cannot break a brand " apprehension? Go up in creation can more how is the consideration shown " energy " ?
Mo Yan: No matter what people says, how should I still do, come slowly, not anxious. Now this moment any brash and anxious can ruin sth only. Some brands are not bungled to also can be defeated, some brands are bungled to also be bungled to be not defeated. My work is short of energy.

Mo Yan: When just beginning writing, my think of a way is very simple, want to spend superior time through writing namely, without the great ambition of bear the palm, cannot think of to be able to win a prize one day more. Everybody in the heart " successful " the standard is different. Want to score the success on lay meaning, I think or get sureness to do a business.
Reporter: Still a lot of youths are joining the rank that literature creates nowadays, with the experience of a n experienced person, what proposal do you have to them on writing?
