Chen Danqing's evaluation of Mo Yan's award is sincere

Chen Danqing graduated from the Central Academy of Fine Arts and is an artist, writer and literary critic. When asked by the reporter what he thought of Mo Yan winning the Nobel Prize, Chen Danqing said bluntly: "Mo Yan's things have not been seen, but I know that his award has nothing to do with the work." ”

It is precisely because of this sentence that it has been spreading wildly on the Internet, netizens have been talking about it, and netizens who oppose Mo Yan use this sentence as a basis for criticizing Mo Yan; while those who are in favor of Mo Yan sneer at Chen Danqing, the reason is very simple, since you have not read Mo Yan's works, you do not know whether it is good or bad, how do you know that Mo Yan's award has nothing to do with his work? Isn't this logical error ridiculous?

01

I think Chen Danqing is telling the truth

Chen Danqing likes to tell the truth, what he thinks in his heart, he will say, for example: he once said: "Life has no meaning."

For us, life is meaningful, because as long as we form a family, we have family responsibilities; as long as we work in the unit, we must do our own work and be responsible for the unit; as long as we are parents, we must be responsible for our children; as long as we are children, we must be responsible for the elderly; in addition, we must also be responsible for society, and all these responsibilities and obligations are the meaning of life.

But for Chen Danqing, these are not a problem for him, because he is a slightly famous painter, a painting can sell for thousands, or even tens of thousands of yuan, this is a common thing, money easily earned, so the problems that we ordinary people encounter, to him here is not a matter at all, he can not understand. So he said, "Life has no meaning," and that's his true word.

First analyze the first sentence: "Mo Yan's things have not been seen." "I think Chen Danqing is telling the truth, this is called telling the truth, not cheating, looking is looking, not looking, not looking, Chen Danqing is not a person who does not know how to pretend to understand." Since he said this, this shows that he really did not read Mo Yan's works, and he reflected the voices of the vast majority of netizens.

It's a fast-paced life now, and apart from people who like to write and individual people who love literature, there are now fewer and fewer people who are really immersed in novels, especially serious novels. Although everyone has not read the novels he wrote, it is also true that on the Internet platform, Mo Yan's prose and famous quotes are displayed more.

Second, analyze the second sentence: "But I know that his award has nothing to do with the work." ”

The "lethality" of this sentence is even more powerful than the first sentence! The first sentence shows that Mo Yan's works do not attract his interest and do not belong to the list of literary masterpieces, so this sentence is meaningful...

"Winning awards has nothing to do with the work", this is Chen Danqing's personal opinion, but also his real thoughts. Since the award has nothing to do with the work, it's easy to think of four questions:

First, Mo Yan's works are not very good

Second, the Nobel Prize in Literature judges gave this prize to Mo Yan in vain.

Third, why did the Nobel Prize in Literature judges give this prize to Mo Yan instead of others? There are hundreds or even thousands of famous Chinese writers, why do they prefer Mo Yan, why do they throw the "color ball" at Mo Yan?

Fourth, Mo Yan has a very close and delicate relationship with the judges of the Nobel Prize in Literature.

02

Celebrity remarks will have a "butterfly effect"

We ordinary people express their views on the Internet, just like throwing a small stone in the sea, at most a small wave, but celebrities say a word on the Internet, that will inevitably set off a terrifying wave, the wave will last for a long time, the impact is also far-reaching, of course, this impact is both positive and negative.

Aristotle said, "It's easy for anyone to get angry,---- but at the right time, for the right purpose, the right level of anger toward the right person--- which is not within the reach of everyone, nor is it easy." ”

Chen Danqing's words have aroused positive associations among netizens

1 Enhance pride in the motherland.

Since Mo Yan's award has nothing to do with his work, this shows that our country is already very strong, not only has strong economic strength, but also has a higher and higher status in the international political arena, and in order to please Chinese, Westerners have given the Nobel Prize to Mo Yan. If Liu Zhenyun, Yu Hua, Bi Shumin and other writers, no matter who applies for the Nobel Prize, this award is whoever it is, and Mo Yan is nothing more than a recipient. If we think like this, we will be extremely proud and proud of the strength of our motherland...

2 Guide netizens to become interested in reading Mo Yan's works.

Since Chen Danqing said: "I didn't read Mo Yan's things, but I know that his awards have nothing to do with the works", this will cause netizens to have a strong interest in Mo Yan's works, many netizens have a challenging mentality, they want to prove that in the end Mo Yan's awards have nothing to do with the work, so they hurriedly purchased Mo Yan's "Rich Breasts and Buttocks" and "Frog" two books to read carefully, read it for a few days, after reading it, not only changed the prejudice against Mo Yan, but also felt very angry at Westberg, the chairman of the Swedish Nobel Literature Prize Jury, Westberg. Because his evaluation completely distorted Mo Yan's work!

3 Made a strong defense for Mo Yan and slapped the trolls hard!

Since Chen Danqing said: "Mo Yan's award has nothing to do with the work", this shows that the Nobel Prize has nothing to do with the content of the work, the quality of the work, and the theme expressed in the work.

Some netizens said that because Mo Yan scandalized the motherland and pleased Westerners, he won this Nobel Prize, and if he praised the motherland and the people, he would not be able to win the prize. This is the logic of many netizens!

And Chen Danqing said that Mo Yan's award had nothing to do with his work, so those who said things about Mo Yan's works were slapped in the mouth by Chen Danqing, they covered their cheeks, and they were still faintly in pain, they wanted to attack Mo Yan with Chen Danqing's words, but now they lifted a "big stone" and smashed it on their feet... It's called "Evil has evil retribution!" Many things in the world, seemingly weird, are actually very natural, which is called "self-inflicted!" ”。

Chen Danqing's words caused negative associations among netizens

1 Scar literature is not popular with most readers.

Chen Danqing said: "Mo Yan's things have not been seen." Out of respect for the writer, we general readers will say, "Mo Yan's works or novels have not been seen", will never say "Mo Yan's things", it feels a little harsh, but as a small and famous painter to say so, it seems more intimate, Chen Danqing put him and Mo Yan in the same position, which shows Chen Danqing's confidence, this is his style!

As mentioned above, Chen Danqing is a literary critic, and since what is called "home" on Baidu is remarkable, not to mention that one of his research projects is "literary criticism". We can imagine that Chinese literary critics do not look at Mo Yan's works, which shows that Mo Yan's works have not reached the level of popularity, so why are Mo Yan's works not popular? I think there are four key factors:

First of all, scar literature seems to be outdated and has not adapted to social development, especially the younger generation, who have never experienced the taste of starvation and poverty, and they are not used to reading; secondly, this has a lot to do with the reader's appreciation level, because the multiple rhetorical techniques of serious literature will make netizens with low academic qualifications feel big.

Again, in a fast-paced life, people simply can't squeeze in time to chew on serious literature.

Finally, with the popularity of smart phones, short videos, vibrato and fast food-style reading have a great impact on netizens, and netizens' spare time is basically occupied by these fragmented cultures.

It is precisely because a new reading group has appeared in society, and the reading group is gradually shifting its goals, so after Mo Yan won the award, there has been a new breakthrough in writing, he no longer writes about things that were a long time ago, he focuses on today's real society, so he wrote "Late Ripening People", which is composed of many small stories, which is also considered to be advancing with the times!

Although Chen Danqing's words have caused great repercussions in society, I personally still have great admiration for Chen Danqing's dare to speak the truth.
