List of high-quality authors "Red Sorghum" is the famous work of contemporary Chinese writer Mo Yan, and it is also one of his masterpieces. This ** is based on the Anti-Japanese War and the folk life of the 20th century, and a series of anti-Japanese heroes are created in the story, all of whom are the embodiment of justice and **. The protagonist Yu Zhanao is a hot-blooded man, and his body is full of justice and barbarism. Yu Zhanao killed people and set fire to the woman he loved, and occupied Dai Fenglian, who later became his wife. In order to avenge his shame, Yu Zhanao practiced his marksmanship hard and wiped out all the bandits who had insulted his wife. Yu Zhanao resisted Japan and did not really understand the essence of the War of Resistance. Yu Zhanao exudes a very vivid humanity, but he is also full of savage and ignorant beastliness. In **, Mo Yan created a red sorghum world on the edge of ethics and morality, a kind of bandit-like heroes, they do all the bad things but also serve the country, they love each other and fight bravely, full of the atmosphere of the times that is both deviant and infinitely vibrant.
After reading this **, I have the following feelings and experiences
First, this ** shows a tragic and peculiar era. The War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression was the darkest page in China's modern history, and the Chinese people suffered endless hardships under the iron heel of Japanese imperialism. In such an environment, people rebel in order to survive, but they also kill each other in order to survive. The characters in ** have their own personalities and destinies, as well as their own strengths and weaknesses, and there is no absolute good and evil, right and wrong. They struggle to live in poverty and misery, and they also entangle each other in lust and emotion. They have both the brilliance of human nature, such as bravery, kindness, loyalty, fraternity, etc., and the darkness of human nature, such as greed, cruelty, selfishness, betrayal, etc. They not only have the persistence and pursuit of life, such as the yearning and fantasy of beautiful things, the care and love for the ideal object, the persistence and realization of self-worth, etc., but also the abandonment and despair of life, such as the disgust and avoidance of the real environment, the indifference and harm to intimate relationships, and the complaint and compromise of their own fate. They are vivid and real characters, but also complex and diverse human nature.
Second, this ** shows a strong and unique local atmosphere. Gaomi Northeast Township is the main place where ** occurred, and it is also the location of the author's hometown. The author depicts the customs, landscapes, and folk customs of this land with strong and delicate brushstrokes. Red sorghum is one of the most important symbols, it is not only a crop, but also a cultural symbol. It symbolizes the vitality and national spirit of the Gaomi people, as well as love and blood. The color of red sorghum is blood red, which is both the color of life and the color of death. The wine of red sorghum is the soul of the people of Gaomi, and it is both a source of joy and a tear of sorrow. The fields of red sorghum are the battlefield of the Gaomi people, which is both the basis of survival and the grave of sacrifice. The world of red sorghum is a world full of contradictions and conflicts, but also a world of passion and revelry.
Thirdly, this ** shows a magical and poetic art style. ** The first-person narration is adopted, telling the story of "my" ancestors in the War of Resistance against Japan in the tone of "me". This narrative is both historically true and imaginary. Through the perspective of "me", the author interweaves and integrates history and legend, reality and fantasy, rationality and sensibility, objectivity and subjectivity, etc., to create a story space that is both realistic and magical. The author uses a lot of symbols, allusions, metaphors, exaggerations and other rhetorical devices to make ** full of allegories and metaphors. The author also uses a large number of sensory elements such as **, color, and smell to make ** full of rhythm and rhyme. The author uses a wild, uninhibited, passionate, tense, and magnificent language style to push ** to a peak of art.
Red Sorghum is a shocking and touching **, it is not only Mo Yan's memory of his hometown and ancestors, but also the revelation and criticism of China's War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the reality of rural society, but also the exploration and reflection of the essence of human nature and the meaning of life. This ** shows Mo Yan's talent as an outstanding writer and thinker, and also adds an immortal masterpiece to contemporary Chinese literature and world literature.

Mo Yan's works are influenced by both Western modernism and traditional Chinese culture, and he draws on the techniques of writers such as Faulkner, Kafka, and Marquez, as well as the nourishment of traditional and folk cultural resources such as Qilu culture, Pu Songling's Strange Tales from Liao Zhai, Romance of the Feng Gods, Yuan miscellaneous operas, folk tales, and folk art. While borrowing history and reality, he also boldly used free imagination and absurd humor to create a literary world full of magic and national characteristics. His works not only reflect the changes of Chinese society and the fate of the people, but also reflect universal themes such as human nature, survival, desire, and violence, and have a strong artistic appeal and social criticism.
