Mo Yan and Yu Hua can be described as the two peaks of Chinese literature, whether they are classmates of Lu Xun Literature College of Beijing Normal University or "brothers sleeping on bunk beds". Yu Hua specially rushed to support the old friend, and the two recalled the hilarious past on the spot. Yu Hua laughed and said that when he first learned that he was assigned to a dormitory with Mo Yan by the school, he was "particularly happy" because he had been admiring it for a long time. When living in the same room, Mo Yan was working on "Wine Country", and Yu Hua was writing his debut work "Shouting in the Drizzle". There was only a cabinet between the two, and they could hear the rustle of each other's pen tips rubbing against the manuscript paper, and even the sound of each other's panting. There was a slit in the middle of the cabinet, tired of writing, leaning back, the two people looked at each other, "and then the inspiration suddenly disappeared, he couldn't write anymore, I couldn't write anymore." The final solution was that Mo Yan hung up a wall calendar and blocked this slit. This was "the successful completion of their respective novels".

In order to participate in the launch of the new edition of "Life and Death Fatigue", Yu Hua specially reread the book, "each paragraph grasped me tightly, both tearful and laughing."
The works that have been passed down from generation to generation must be one of them
Talking about the feeling of reading "Life and Death Fatigue" for the first time, Yu Hua frankly said: "The first feeling is very jealous, it is too cattle to write! But when I read it for the second time, I was happy, I was happy for Mo Yan, and I was also happy for our Chinese literature. ”

"Life and Death Fatigue" uses the form of six reincarnations to tell the story of Ximen Hao's reincarnation into a donkey, a cow, a pig, a dog, a monkey, and finally a defective big-headed baby. Yu praised no second person in China who could write it. Even up to 430,000 words can still make people quickly enter the drama. Deep down, Yu Hua also shared his love for the "pig" in the book: "Just by describing the pig fight, I feel the glory of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Water Margin", and the pig in "Life and Death Fatigue" is the most powerful pig in past literature and future literature. ”
Yu Hua frequently expressed his love for Mo Yan: "Through the image of seven or people or animals, to complete the image of a protagonist, this is not in the history of world literature, and it will not be in the future." Even if there is, only Mo Yan can write, and others cannot write. ”
In the sequence of Mo Yan's works, "Life and Death Fatigue" is indeed one of his most important works. Mo Yan himself has expressed his love for "Life and Death Fatigue" many times. He said that the book was the work he regretted the least, and admitted that if he only had two works to pass on, then there must be one of them " Life and Death Fatigue " .
