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

1, the meaning 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.

There are many such disasters and lessons in history. Social ecology, like natural ecology, needs to maintain diversity, which is a beautiful ecological environment with a hundred flowers blooming.

2. Significance of Story 2: In bureaucratic society, there are many people in the upper level or leadership who treat 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 treat people as neglected objects, fish and play, and they will become rich. A soldier who talks back symbolizes a real fighter.

The reason why you have to apologize after talking back shows that this is not aimed at individuals, but at phenomena. This kind of apology should be a courtesy apology to a group of people who may be upset by his novels and speeches before and after winning the prize. I suspect that this apology is not from the heart, because there is no need to apologize, it is the "old chief" who wants to apologize.

3. Significance of Story 3: A temple can be interpreted as a country. If a society is full of selfish people, in order to save their lives or interests, they will "throw their own kind out of the temple" by any means (throwing straw hats for divination) and accept the disaster.

Whether the people who were thrown out were innocent or not, in fact, seven heartless people were punished for their crimes. Before the ruined temple collapsed, they survived the storm temporarily, precisely because virtuous people were with them, and God was afraid of hurting the innocent and didn't do it well.

But when the man who didn't deserve to die was thrown out of the temple gate, the ruined temple was knocked down by a thunder from the sky, so the evil man "died a fair death."

Gende literature

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, 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.
