莫言“将魔幻现实主义和民间故事、历史和当代融合在一起。”——诺贝尔奖评委会

Mo Yan “with hallucinatory realism merges folk tales, history and the contemporary.” — The Nobel Committee

莫言（1955年2月17日－ ），原名管谟业，生于山东高密县，中国当代著名作家。香港公开大学荣誉文学博士，青岛科技大学客座教授。1980年代中以乡土作品崛起，充满着“怀乡”以及“怨乡”的复杂情感，被归类为“寻根文学”作家。作品深受魔幻现实主义影响。莫言在小说中构造独特的主观感觉世界，天马行空的叙述，陌生化的处理，塑造神秘超验的对象世界，带有明显的“先锋”色彩。2011年8月，莫言凭长篇小说《蛙》获第八届茅盾文学奖。2012年10月11日，莫言因其“用魔幻现实主义将民间故事、历史和现代融为一体”获得诺贝尔文学奖。

Mo Yan (a pseudonym for Guan Moye) is a famous contemporary Chinese writer who was born on February 17, 1955 in Gaomi county, Shandong Province. He is an honorary PhD of Arts at the Open University of Hong Kong and a Guest Professor at the Qingdao University of Technology. In the mid-1980s, he rose to fame as a writer in China. With complex feelings of homesickness and simultaneous resentment of the homeland, his works were classified as root-seeking literature. His works were also deeply influenced by hallucinatory realism. In his works, the unique subjective world he built, the unconstrained and imaginary narration, the approach of alienation, and the mysterious and transcendent objective world he shaped were apparent proofs of being avant-garde. His novel “Frog” won the 8th Mao Dun Literature Prize in August 2011. On October 11, 2012, the Nobel Prize in Literature 2012 was awarded to Mo Yan who “with hallucinatory realism merges folk tales, history and the contemporary”.
