Recommended by experts

Many of Mo Yan's descriptions of the touch, smell, and hearing of things are derived from his feelings and imaginations about the world in his youth. They contain the fullness and vitality of a young boy's original experience, and of course are also filled with the soaring imagination and thorough linguistic pleasure of an excellent writer.

——Cao Wenxuan (famous writer, winner of the Hans Christian Andersen Award, editor-in-chief of the national unified Chinese textbooks for junior high schools and primary schools)

Reading Mo Yan is beneficial to seeing, listening, opening up the mind, and releasing oneself.

Mo Yan depicts the world of adults, but his way of perception is often childlike. Rather than saying that Mo Yan retains a childlike innocence, it is better to say that this is a gift.

——Bi Feiyu (famous writer, winner of the Mao Dun Literature Prize)

Mo Yan, a world-class writer, is not only good at exploring the richness of human nature by writing about people, but is also good at writing about animals. He can write about animals like people, making them feel happy, angry, sad, and happy just like people. But what is even more rare is that he can also write about people like animals, making you feel that people and animals are actually part of nature.

——Shen Shixi (Children's literature writer, King of Chinese animal novels)
