Hey, old guys, have you heard about this lately? Someone actually linked Mo Yan's achievements to the "literati style", I have to say, this is really a topic that makes people laugh. We all know that Mo Yanna is a Nobel Prize winner in literature, a world-class writer, and his stories hide mountains, fields and deep local feelings. But the four words "literati style" don't seem to match him well.
First of all, what is the "literati style"? This term is usually used to describe literati and doctors who stick to their principles and do not follow the trend. Imagine that it is a picture of the deep bamboo forest, the breeze and the bright moon, but what about Mo Yan? In his world, there is more muddy realism, depicting living little people with brushstrokes, their joys, sorrows, and sorrows, their tenacity and helplessness, which is where Mo Yan's hardcore charm lies.
I remember that there is a saying: "The real hero is not the one who has no tears, but the one who still runs with tears in his eyes." Mo Yan's works are like the peasant who moves forward in the wind and rain, he does not avoid suffering, nor does he escape the truth of life, which is his unique "wind and bones". His novels, although sometimes poignant to read, are more about a profound insight into human nature, a power that touches people's hearts more than any flowery rhetoric.
Then, some people may say that Mo Yan's award is an international recognition, which is the external proof of the "literati style". But I think that Mo Yan's success is more like a marathon, he takes one step at a time, uses his works to speak, and lets the world see the fireworks in rural China, this kind of real "bones" is called real kung fu.
Don't forget, Mo Yan himself said: "Literature is the business of lonely people, and loneliness needs to be endured." He is the farmer who works silently in silence, and his "wind bones" are not slogans on his lips, but historical traces carved with the tip of his pen.
Therefore, when we talk about the "literati style", we might as well take a look at Mo Yan's works, where every line of words is his unique understanding and persistence of the world. He may not have the "arrogance" in our traditional concept, but he uses his own way to show a deeper and more tenacious "backbone".
Isn't that funny, you say? A writer is known as a "literati style", but he really uses stories to tell us that the style is not on the outside, but on the inside. This is Mo Yan, this is the laughter and touching he brings us. Forward it to your friends, let them laugh together, and taste this different "literati style".
