After Mo left his hometown and joined the army in 1976， he began to read widely， including works by Lu Xun and many other famous writers．
He studied from these writers but did not copy them．Instead， he developed his own style．“I grew up in an environment filled with folk culture．It enters my novels whenever I pick up a pen．This has affected， even decided， my style.” Mo told a group of reporters in his hometown shortly after he won the award in 2012.
As the first Chinese citizen to win a Nobel Prize in literature， the organization spoke highly of his works．They described his writing as a mixture of fantasy and reality， combining historical and social perspectives （看法）.
