How to evaluate Mo Yan's winning the Nobel Prize in Literature?

When Mo Yan is mentioned, people may first think of the colorful pictures in the film Red Sorghum and the vitality displayed on the yellow land. This is Mo Yan's Gaomi Northeast Township. Gaomi is not only Mo Yan's hometown in geographical sense, but also his literary hometown painstakingly created on the road of literary creation for decades. His novels have hardly left Gaomi, which is his own literary kingdom. He narrated in this imaginative land, dug deep into history and extended to the vast rural areas of China.

As early as more than 20 years ago, he caused a sensation in the literary world because of the publication of Red Sorghum. Based on this, the film Red Sorghum won the Golden Bear Award at the West Berlin International Film Festival with 1988, which attracted the world's attention to China's films. The three masters are now very famous overseas, with both fame and fortune, and some even emigrated overseas. The original author has been staying in Gaomi, a small county-level city in Shandong Province, where he grew up for 57 years.

What kind of complex made him stick to it?

In today's society, too many people try their best to stay in the city in order to make a living, to be luxurious and to stay away from home. But there are also some people who always want to go back to their hometown, stay away from the hustle and bustle of the city, be their purest self, stay with their white-haired parents and do their best to be filial to their children.

People who have a strong local complex will feel that the city will always be someone else's city. Like me. May be old, no impulse to give up everything at home and want to fly away. On the contrary, I want to go back to my hometown for retirement more and more.

Even when I returned to my hometown, all the familiar things in my memory gradually disappeared. I hope that the distant hometown will always welcome you home with a welcome attitude.
