【brief introduction】

I don't know if I don't look at it, I want to cry and laugh at the same time. Life is not easy, and humor is priceless. ——Mo Yan

In fifty years, Ximen Nao experienced six reincarnations.

The first life was a donkey, the second life was a cow, the third life was a pig, the fourth life was a dog, the fifth life was a monkey, and finally he was born as a human.

During these six lifetimes, he witnessed the three generations of the blue-faced family go through life and death fatigue,

They love to the end, hate to the end, stubborn to the end, hard to the end,

There is extreme pain, and there is total indulgence.

And their story begins on January 1, 1950...

2012 Nobel Prize in Literature Award Speech

After Rabelais, Swift and García Márquez of our time, Mo Yan is one of the more witty and frightening Chinese writers of his time.

【Media Comments】

◆In the sixteen years I have been an academician of the Academy of Arts, no one's works have moved me as much as Mo Yan's. Among the living writers, Mo Yan is not only the best writer in China, but also the best writer in the world.

—Pell Westerberg (Chairman of the Nobel Prize Jury)

◆After I read Mo Yan's works, I was greatly influenced. His literary expression and description of life gave me a lot of new things.

——Kenzaburo Oe (Nobel Prize Winner)

◆"Life and Death Fatigue" has the voice of a storyteller, and this voice itself is a kind of world view—a general approach different from the western tradition: in Chinese classical novels, everything is like a cycle, and the long-term division must be united and the long-term division must be divided. Man is not fighting against or running away from his world. Fundamentally, people are bearing, sharing and embodying the destiny of the world. The character takes his whole world with him in action and life and death.

——Li Jingze, vice chairman of the Chinese Writers Association

◆I really like all of Mo Yan's novels and enjoy translating them. I like them for a variety of reasons. "Life and Death Weary" can be called a brilliant fable.

—— Ge Haowen

◆If Kafka existed in China, he would be Mo Yan.

——American "Publishers Weekly"
