In the Mid-Autumn Festival of 2016, after Mo Yan had won the Nobel Prize in Literature, Mo Yan wrote a limerick poem, describing the original meaning of his writing of the long story "Rich Breasts and Fat Buttocks".
The full poem is as follows:
I once moved Kyushu because of my fame, when did I want to write about romance. A hundred-year-old village has become a busy city, and five generations of children have become barren hills. Great love is boundless and surpasses friends and foes, and small hearts are bitter and enmity. In the face of ridicule, crying is laughter, and learning from Pili to hide Yangqiu.The title of "Breast and Fat Buttocks" is very spicy, and for this reason, ** has attracted widespread criticism. But Mo Yan doesn't want to describe the romance of the characters, and he doesn't want to write it as "glamorous **", but to describe the century-old history of a village and the rise and fall of five generations of a family. That is to say, to express the deep historical fate of the characters in a broad historical background.
This shows that the author's purpose of writing is grandiose, not the description full of sex as one might imagine, and the content is not filthy, but noble.
* The expression of love and tolerance is not to focus on the narrow realm of the small world, but to transcend the boundaries of enemies and friends. “Whoever says an inch is careless, and he will be rewarded with three springsEven small people can laugh at enmity. This is great love.
In the face of ridicule and criticism from all walks of life, Mo Yan withstood the pressure, turned crying into laughter, and dealt with it calmly.
In this poem, Mo Yan also expresses a lofty ambition that he wants to learn from the great Confucius and use Confucius's".Spring and Autumn penmanship"Expressing history, expressing the character and fate of the characters, reaching".Small words".
From the poem, we have already felt the embarrassment and pressure of Mo Yan after publishing "Rich Breasts and Fat Buttocks", and Mo Yan's self-confidence, firmness, and tenacity as a writer also come from the poems.
Indeed, Mo Yan's criticism of the upcoming was expected when he wrote the **.
When Mo Yan reviewed his writing process in 2009, he wrote at the beginning:
In the early spring of 1995, in a small house in my hometown, when I wrote on manuscript paper, 'This book is dedicated to my mother's spirit in heaven,' my eyes were filled with tears. I know that some people will be ridiculed or even insulted if I write like this, so please do it.
In this regard, Mo Yan is not afraid, firm, and calm.
Because he has long thought that ".Perhaps one of the charms of literature is that it can be misunderstood。"Misreading is normal, and if it is agreed with in the same way, it is not normal. "Literature seems to look at the mountains and does not like peace", and the opinion of "unevenness" is the real literature.
Some people also suggested that Mo Yan change the title of the book and change it to"The Golden Boy and the Jade Girl"., because there are these two characters in the book. But Mo Yan insisted on not changing it, because "Breast Fat Buttocks" has been popular for fifteen years, and there is no need to change it again. Moreover, the name, "Originally."Not a flood beast"Who can be deterred by such a title?" ”
It can be seen that Mo Yan has full confidence in the title of the book and the atmosphere of the times.
In fact, there is another reason, which Mo Yan didn't mention, that is, this ** is to show the greatness of the mother, and the plump breasts and fat buttocks can best show the heaviness of maternal love and reflect the characteristics of motherhood. And the golden boy and girl are a bit like a fairy tale, and a bit like love, which is too far from the author's original intention. This is also an important reason why Mo Yan refused to change his name.
Mo Yan sighed proudly
"I can't write a book like this anymore. ”
There is no doubt that "Breast and Fat Buttocks" is Mo Yan's greatest work. Because the Nobel Prize in Literature jury named it "".Mo Yan's most outstanding **This epic work has been hailed as ".The 'Bible' of Gaomi Northeast Township”。Gaomi Northeast Township is a permanent space environment in Mo Yan**. It also won the inaugural "Everyone Red River Literary AwardIn 1995, 100,000 yuan bonus, at that time, our salary was only more than 200 yuan per month! It's going to be more than 30 years of hard work.
From this, it can be proved that the literary charm of "Rich Breasts and Fat Buttocks" has been recognized at the official and public levels at home and abroad. We have no doubt about it.
