Today we will talk about the "viewing" in and . To put it simply, "seeing one's own opinions" means insisting that one's own opinions are right and that others' opinions are wrong. Sima believes that Mo Yan 's works are full of too much social darkness. The reason why won the Nobel Prize is that caters to Westerners' taste for discrediting China. This is a typical "seeing and seeing". Sima's literary accomplishment is not at the same level as Mo Yan's. He probably hasn't even read Mo Yan's works, otherwise he wouldn't have reached such a conclusion.
We know Mo Yan mostly from "Red Sorghum" filmed by Zhang Yimou in 1987. The film won the Golden Bear Award at the 38th Berlin International Film Festival and was also the first Asian film to win this award. The reason why Zhang Yimou fell in love with this novel is because it has an authentic national temperament and style. The men and women in the novel are bold, cheerful, broad-minded and open-minded, and they reveal the freedom and joy of being a human being as they please.
What is the story of "Red Sorghum"? Is it as dark as what Sima saw? It is set in Gaomi, Shandong during the Anti-Japanese War. It tells the story of a male and female protagonist who run a sorghum winery together after many twists and turns. However, during the Japanese invasion war, the heroine and the winery clerk were tortured and killed by the Japanese army for participating in the resistance movement. The novel creates portraits of a group of ordinary Chinese people such as my grandma, my grandpa, and Uncle Arhat, and praises their national spirit of daring to live, die, love, and hate. It also has a profound understanding of the history, character, psychology, culture, and culture of the Chinese nation. Thoughts were made on the way of survival.
What is Mo Yan’s novel "Frog", which won the Nobel Prize for Literature , about? "Frog" is based on the turbulent rural birth history of New China in the past 60 years. By telling the life experience of a rural female doctor who has been engaged in obstetrics and gynecology for more than 50 years, "Frog" vividly describes the country's implementation of the national policy of family planning in order to control the rapid growth of the population. While going through an arduous and complex historical process, it successfully created a vivid and touching image of a rural gynecologist; combined with the complex phenomena in the family planning process, it analyzed the intellectuals represented by the narrator Tadpole A humble, embarrassing, entangled, and contradictory spiritual world. The novel profoundly reflects the birth history of China in the 1960s, and also reveals the contradictions and cowardice deep in the souls of contemporary Chinese intellectuals.
In 2011, "Frog" won the 8th Mao Dun Literature Award. In 2012, "Frog" won the Nobel Prize for Literature. From a time perspective, it was our country that first recognized the value of this work, and then it gained international reputation. Now that we are all sure of it, why are there still some people who can’t stand it? This is the gap in literary accomplishment and cognition. Sima was obviously ignorant in the field of literature. He gave his own arguments: Mo Yan once said that I have a prejudice. I believe that literary works can never be a tool for singing praises. Why can't he sing the praises of our great motherland? The implication is that Mo Yan should be as outspoken and bold in his patriotism as he was. If you don't say and write the three words "I love my country", it means there is something wrong in your heart.
Now let's look back and see what Mo Yan's original words looked like: In December 2005, when Mo Yan received an honorary doctorate from the Open University of Hong Kong, he gave a speech on "How I Became a Writer". In the speech, he said this :
"Just now, the principal also said that I am a writer who dares to tell the truth. I really agree with this. If I am awarded an honorary doctorate because I tell the truth, I think it is well deserved... I think there is nothing wrong with telling the truth. Questioning is a precious quality of a writer. If a writer does not tell the truth, then the writer will inevitably tell lies. Writers who tell lies are not only useless to society and the people, but also greatly affect the character of literature. Because a writer A good literary work must have something real in it. It should come from life and truly reflect the life of the lower class people. If anyone wants to use literature to whitewash reality and use works to praise society, I I feel that this work is very questionable. I have a bias. I think that literary works should never be a tool for singing praises.Literature and art should expose darkness and reveal social injustice. It should also reveal the dark side deep in the human soul and reveal the elements of evil. So after my novel was published, some readers were unhappy because I exposed the ugly parts of human nature too much and exposed some parts of society too realistically. They feel very stimulated by these works that touch the human soul and expose the ugliness of the human soul. I recently wrote a novel, and the last sentence of the postscript is, "Even if there is only one reader left, I will still write like this."
This is the character and perseverance of a writer. This is something that Sima Zhiliu has been unable to do in three lifetimes, and it is impossible to understand it. He uses his own "views" to generalize other people's prejudices, which in itself is a kind of ignorance. Mo Yan's premise for saying this is: He is biased, and he likes to write in this form. Why not? From ancient times to the present, from the Four Great Classics to "The Scream", most of them focus on exposure and criticism, because the power of exposure and criticism is far greater than praise. Especially in our era of affluence, it is easier to lose our way and we need more. It is to expose and criticize. The Tangshan beating incident is the best example. If no one released the video to expose it, the people of Tangshan would still be proud of living in a civilized city.
Personally, the expression of literary forms should be diverse. You can learn from Li Bai to praise " clouds want clothes, flowers want to look like faces ", you can learn Du Fu to expose "the smell of wine and meat in wealthy families", or you can learn Wang Wei Buddha's "sit and watch the clouds rise", but If you insist on insisting on exposing darkness as negative energy and smearing China, it only means that your views are too deep and have turned into evil views. What's more, haven't you yourself been exposing Lenovo's dark operations? Aren't you afraid of being used by American imperialism to spread rumors about how corrupt we are? Why is it that you are only allowed to reveal it, but others are not allowed to write about it?
Finally, I want to say that if Sima wants to grow up, he should first get rid of his doubts. If he can't get rid of his doubts, go and criticize the Writers Association: Since 2000, while enjoying national welfare, why can't he create a classic novel praising the great motherland?
