Because of this hugely different class, his shenshen (uncle s wife) despised and looked down on his family. When
9、Mo was little, the living conditions in China were poor, all of Chinese were worrying about how they would not to be hungry. Having a hearty meal to everyone was a merely illusion. To be exaggerated, food even could let people sell their souls. However, little Mo was a very good eater. At each lunch

When shenshen knew his daughter suffered losses, she always got mad at him and said lots of evil and mean bad words. In his shenshen, s heart, h
11、e was totally a freak. Fortunately, he had a great mum. She apologized to shenshen without any grumble. To Mo s behavior, his mum did not blame him.

12、 success could not come without his mum, s encouragement and education. When he had a dream to be a writer, his mum did not object. She said nothing and then cautiously took out couple of coins from her breast pocket to me. She told me to buy a pen and a bottle of ink. These things celebrate my drea
13、m as a gift. Although I knew my family was in trouble, my mum still supported and encouraged me to realize it. You know, at that moment, bought these were pretty ridiculous in other, s eyes.

15、of little Mo s mistake, his mum asked for an old taitai (woman) one mao (one tenth of a yuan) more. When his mum realized this, she was ready on her way to back home. Nevertheless, she deeply knew that parents were the best masters to children; she did not want Mo to be a cheater when he grew up. So
16、 she decidedly turned around to chase the old taitai. When Mo came back, he saw his mum sadly shedding tears. Beside her were the cabbages which they sold in the morning. Mo did not know what happened and why she looked disappointed- She looked up and gazed at him with her red eyes. The atmosphere i
17、n the house was silent. For a long she yelled to him in an impressive voice My son, how could you do this? How dared you to charge her more money?!n uToday, you made me feel shameful of you for the first time. You have lost my face and pride!” While she was saying, two rows of tears were filling dow
18、n her cheek- In Mo s heart, this possibly was the most unforgettable and meaningful thing in his memories of mum. Mo said that “The most thankful person in my life must be my mother. Although she never got any education, she used her behaviors to teach me how to be an upright and useful person. In m
19、y heart, she is the best gift to me from the God. ”When Mo Yan was 5 years old, his parents sent him go to primary school. In school, he was the youngest kid and always easily cried.

Some teachers in his school swiftly established School Committee in order to show how loyal they were to their sincere Communist Party. They enco
23、uraged students to write da-zi-bao to unmask the true nature of others or expose others candles and personal issues. At this time, Mo was a naive and impulsive young man, of course he followed. Before long, he became a member of Red Successor. Therefore his life totally changed in one night. He acci
24、dentally through a hole of a window saw that Teacher Zhang who was the leader of School Committee was molesting principal s wife, the principal himself just saw, but did not resist- Uis silences made Mo disappointed; he even found despair in his heart because he deeply believed he taken in by his de
25、ar party. In order to revenge, he made a poster about what he saw and then put it on the public billboard.

Readers can find his past time and t

In some way, I admit I am a bad creator; but I believe I am a fantastic storyteller*On 11 October 2012, the Swedish Academy announced that Mo Yan had received the Nobel Prize in Literature for his amazing work. At the time of the announcement, this 57 years old simple storyteller was the 109th recipient of the award . He finally realized his dream and proved his gifted capability.
