Mo wins Nobel for literature

CHINESE writer Mo Yan won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2012, a somewhat unexpected choice by a prize committee that has favored European writers in recent years. In the past five years, European writers had won four awards. Presented by the Nobel Foundation, the award --- only given to living writers --- is worth 8 million kronor (?741,000). “He has such a unique (独特的)way of writing. If you read half a page of Mo Yan you immediately know it as him,” said Peter Englund, head of the Swedish Academy(瑞典学院).

　 Peter Englund said in Stockholm that the academy had called Mo before the announcement(宣布). “He said he was overjoyed and frightened,” Mo, 57, is the first Chinese national to win the Nobel Prize in Literature. Born Guan Moye in 1955 to a farming family in Gaomi County in Shandong Province, Mo chose his penname, meaning “don’t speak,” while writing his first novel. His breakthrough came with the novel Red Sorghum《红高粱》published in 1987. Set in a small village, like many of his works, “Red Sorghum” is an earthy story of love and peasant struggles (农民抗争) taking place against the background of the anti-Japanese war. It was turned into a film that won the top prize at the Berlin International Film Festival in 1988.

　 Mo said in a speech at the Frankfurt Book Fair in 2009, “Some people may want to shout on the street, but we should tolerate (容忍) those who hide in their rooms and use literature to voice their opinions.”
