I'll continue on the path I've been taking, feet on the ground, describing people's lives, describing people's emotions, writing from the standpoint of the ordinary people.
From Mo Yan
One of the biggest problems in literature is the lack of subtlety.
I heard so many stories from Gaomi's peasants that I had an irrepressible urge to write them down. Today, Gaomi's peasants know that they have become famous around the world through my writings, but I think they are a little puzzled by this.
I have always been independent.
When someone forces me to do something I don't do it.
I am also well aware that literature only has a minimal influence on political disputes or economic crises in the world, but its significance to human beings is ancient.
I know what real courage is, and I understand true compassion.
I think that China has many outstanding authors, and their great works should also be recognised by the world.
