Question

In 2012, Mo Yan became the first Chinese writer to win the Nobel Literature Prize in its century-long history, bringing joy to other writers and readers all over the country. Mo said that people worldwide will read Chinese literature more often. “My winning the prize should play a rather positive role,” the 57-year-old said. “Actually, I thought I only had a small chance to win. There are so many good writers all over the world and in China.” Mo Yan was born into a farmer’s family in a village and dropped out of school at the age of 12, and he started reading books in a mill (磨坊) of his house using a little light of an oil lamp (灯). “ In my childhood, there were only a few books in my village. I had to try every way to find a book to read. I exchanged books with others and even worked in the mill and did farm work for others in exchange for books,” he said. “When I finished reading all the books in villages around, I thought I was the most knowledgeable man in the world.” “With no more books at hand, I even started to read a Chinese dictionary. I read it so many times that I even found mistakes in it.” Thanks to Mo Yan’s success, International publishers (出版商) will pay more attention to Chinese literature.
