On February 22, a netizen filed a controversial lawsuit against the famous writer Mo Yan, claiming that his work was offensive to the dignity of China, and the claim amounted to a staggering 1.5 billion yuan.
One of the big challenges in this lawsuit is that Mo Yan has to pay 7.5 million in legal fees to respond to the lawsuit. This incident has sparked heated discussions and widespread attention on the Internet.
Mo Yan is undoubtedly a bright star in the literary world, winner of the 2012 Nobel Prize in Literature, and ushered in a new era of Chinese writers. Since he was a child, he has shown amazing writing talent, and the ** work "Spring Night Rain" is like a bright star, which instantly lit up his literary career and won the love of the majority of readers.
Subsequently, his creative footsteps continued to leap forward, such as the TV series "Red Sorghum", a masterpiece like his name, originated from his name**, and was carefully directed by Zhang Yimou, which not only stabilized his literary status, but also shined on the screen, with a bumper harvest of ratings and praise, which undoubtedly injected stronger impetus into his creative path.
The success of this TV series is undoubtedly the best affirmation of Mo Yan's talent, inspiring him to continue to write more fascinating works.
Despite Mo Yan's many beloved works, it is remarkable that even the Nobel Prize winner in literature suffered an unexpected legal battle. A netizen accused his work "Breast and Fat Buttocks" of a negative depiction of Chinese history, and he made public the receipt of the case on social **, which attracted widespread attention.
In the face of this accusation, Mo Yan claimed 1.5 billion yuan from the other party on the grounds of infringement, including up to 7.5 million yuan in legal costs. This has sparked discussions among netizens, with some questioning whether the huge claims are justified, but for writers, especially intellectual property rights holders like Mo Yan, copyright protection is crucial, not only as the bottom line of the law, but also as a reflection of the dignity of their creative achievements.
Whether it is an ordinary author, a famous person, or a screenwriter, copyright is inviolable. Safeguarding one's own rights and interests and defending the integrity of the work is the legitimate position of every creator.
The astronomical claim of $1.5 billion reveals the far-reaching impact of Mo Yan's work, and the online vote on the matter shows widespread public support for him, with the majority siding with him.
Despite the huge amount of money involved, Mo Yan's works have won numerous awards, which is enough to prove his artistic value and public recognition. His achievements are not accidental, but won by strength and hard work.
For those who do malicious actors, their motivations may be complex, whether they are motivated by envy or jealousy, or by trying to seek a moment of pleasure in cyberspace, in the false belief that they are not legally responsible.
However, Mo Yan's success is unassailable, and it is a fair response to his talent and dedication.
In the face of unfair criticism and attacks on Master Mo Yan, everyone's attention has attracted an in-depth official investigation, and the truth is on the way. We need to understand that no speech can be taken out of the law, including in virtual cyberspace.
Literary works, whether real or fictional, are mirror images of the exploration of human nature, and their value should not be taken lightly. Netizens firmly sided with Mo Yan and advocated seeking compensation through legal means, which is a defense of creative rights and interests to ensure that every painstaking work is not unreasonably belittled.
Even though the work may not be understood by everyone, we must not allow it to be unjustifiably vilified.
The truth of Mo Yan's pen touches people's hearts, some people interpret it objectively, and some people try to distort it to suppress it. Although this netizen is a peer, his talent is not up to it, perhaps out of envy or competition, trying to shake Mo Yan's status.
On the other hand, some people question Mo Yan's creative motives, arguing that being too commercial may make literary works lose their purity, and even if the works are excellent, they may be dusted.
Therefore, regardless of the size of the writer, it is important to maintain the artistic purity of the work, both to protect the dignity of literature and to respect one's own talents. In cyberspace, we should have an impartial attitude towards literary works and avoid unwarranted belittling and judgment.
Let's work together to clean up cyberspace and put an end to unprovoked attacks, this incident will undoubtedly bring challenges to Mo Yan's reputation. We firmly believe that knowledge needs to be revered, and we hope that Mo Yan will use this lawsuit as an opportunity to show the writer's tenacity and continue to burn his passion for literature.
In the future, I hope he will bring more touching works after the storm. At the same time, let us work together to contribute to the prosperity of culture and make it sustainable. I hope that this matter will be brought to a fair conclusion as soon as possible.
