What are the meanings of the three stories told by Mo Yan in his Nobel Prize speech?

The significance of the story 1: the prevalence of false morality in society will harm simple people; Society should allow diversified values and personal lifestyles. To improve the inclusiveness of society, it is absurd and dangerous for a nation to have only one voice in everything.

The significance of story 2: In a bureaucratic society, many people in the upper or leading class regard the people at the bottom as human beings. It is hard to imagine that such an arrogant person will seek benefits for the broad masses of the people. They will only regard the masses as neglected objects, fishing objects and rich people. A soldier who talks back symbolizes a real fighter.

The meaning of story three: a temple can be interpreted as a country. If a society is full of selfish people, in order to save their own lives or interests, they will "throw their own kind out of the temple" by any means (throwing straw hats for divination) to accept the disaster, regardless of whether the thrown people are innocent or not. In fact, it is these seven heartless people who will be punished for their sins.

Mo Yan is classified as a "root-seeking literature" writer because of the rise of a series of local works in the mid-1980' s 1980' s, which are full of complex feelings of homesickness and resentment. In March 2000, Mo Yan gave a speech at the University of California, Berkeley, "Uncle Faulkner, how are you? He said: "His Yoknapatafa County especially made me understand that a writer can not only make up characters and stories, but also make up geography. "

Mo Yan wrote "Gaomi Northeast Township" on the manuscript paper, which was inspired by Faulkner. Mo Yan said: "I am also determined to write my hometown as big as a stamp." So from 1985 "White Dogs Swing Up", Mo Yan held high the banner of "Gaomi Northeast Township" and created his own literary kingdom like a rebellious hero.

Like Thomas Hardy's "Wessex" in southern England, or Garcia Marquez's South American town Macondo.

Through the description of the lifestyle and general living conditions of his hometown, it conveys some universal human nature contents and human living conditions, and transforms the general description of homesickness into the understanding and discovery of human "survival". In this way, Mo Yan's works transcend the narrowness and limitations of the general "local literature" and reach the height of universal existence of mankind.
