Mo Yan

Dear readers,

         Today I'm going to writte about Mo Yan, a Chinese novelist and short story writter that he won a nobel prize in literature in 2012. He was born in Gaomi, Shandong, China in the 17th of february in 1955.

He is best known to Western readers for his 1987 novel Red Sorghum Clan, of which the Red Sorghum and Sorghum Wine volumes were later adapted for the film Red Sorghum. In 2012, Mo was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature for his work as a writer "who with hallucinatory realism merges folk tales, history and the contemporary".

On 11 October 2012, the Swedish Academy announced that Mo Yan had received the Nobel Prize in Literature for his work that "withhallucinatory realism merges folk tales, history and the contemporary". Aged 57 at the time of the announcement, he was the 109th recipient of the award and the first ever resident of mainland China to receive it—Chinese-born Gao Xingjian, a citizen of France, having been named the 2000 laureate. In his Award Ceremony Speech, Per Wästberg explained: "Mo Yan is a poet who tears down stereotypical propaganda posters, elevating the individual from an anonymous human mass. Using ridicule and sarcasm Mo Yan attacks history and its falsifications as well as deprivation and political hypocrisy."

Swedish Academy head Peter Englund said less formally, "He has such a damn unique way of writing. If you read half a page of Mo Yan you immediately recognize it as him".  wikipedia

Mo Yan did the career in the Army, and actually is the vicepresident of the Association of the Writters of "PC". Despite to all the critics spilled against the Chinese regimen, evident in his fantastic novels, to the author they considerate a loyal person.

I have just read an article about Mo Yan and he sais:" My enemies are almost the writers"
