The new edition of "Life and Death Fatigue" is created by the reader culture, adding Mo Yan's reprint prologue, original illustrations, original character relationship diagrams, and also specially including Mo Yan's calligraphy and oil poems and Mo Yan's cartoons, which was ranked first in the total list of new books in one week of listing, and the sales of Douyin exceeded 10,000 in two days, and the publisher printed 100,000 copies overnight.
For this work, the three literary top streams gathered together and attracted the attention of many netizens. During the period, Mo Yan and Yu Hua also recalled a lot of interesting things about each other in the same window era, and let netizens sigh and witness a fairy friendship.
Mo Yan and Yu Hua recalled the friendship in the same window room and blew up the creative fun things for each other
In the minds of the public, Mo Yan and Yu Hua can be described as the two peaks of Chinese literature, but few people know that these two peaks were once roommates who had lived together for several years. Mo Yan and Yu Hua are classmates at Beijing Normal University's Lu Xun College of Literature, or "brothers sleeping on bunk beds."
In order to support his long-time friends, Yu Hua specially came to participate in the launch of the new version of "Life and Death Fatigue".
The two recalled the hilarious past at that time, and Yu Hua laughed and said that when he first learned that he was assigned to a dormitory with Mo Yan by the school, he was "particularly happy" because he had been admired for a long time. When asked by netizens about the campus life of the two in that year, Yu Hua directly revealed that the two shared a toothpaste when they shared the same bedroom, which triggered a burst of laughter and cheers from onlookers.
Mo Yan recalled the more interesting details of the two, when they lived in the same room, Mo Yan was working on "Wine Country", and Yu Hua was writing his debut work "Shouting in the Drizzle". There was only a cabinet between the two, "you can hear the rustle of the tip of the pen rubbing against the manuscript paper", "you can even hear each other panting". There was a slit in the middle of the cabinet, and when I was tired of writing, I leaned back and the two people made eye contact, "And then the inspiration suddenly disappeared, and he couldn't write anymore, and I couldn't write anymore." The final solution was that Mo Yan hung up a wall calendar and blocked this slit. This "successfully completed their respective novels".
The fairy friendship between the two top authors of Chinese literature amazed netizens, and this friendship is not only in life, but also reflected in spiritual communication. After writing "Life and Death Fatigue", Mo Yan immediately gave Yu Hua a copy, which made Yu Hua intoxicated at that time.
In order to participate in the launch of the new edition of "Life and Death Fatigue", Yu Hua specially re-read the book, "every paragraph grasped me tightly", "both tearful to watch" and "constantly laughing".
But Yu Hua's words turned again, and he did not forget to ridicule his old friend: "Although I have cried, Mo Yan is more likely to cry, and he cries when he watches a TV series." "
Netizens who watched the online conference said that they were laughed at by the two masters that "the masks are cracked". Some netizens left a message saying, "I originally wanted to study literature, but now I just want to listen to talk shows." Some netizens sighed: "A few of them can open a Deyun Society when they get together." "
The divine work that impressed the Nobel Prize judges was "Life and Death Fatigue"
In the sequence of Mo Yan's works, "Life and Death Fatigue" is indeed one of his most important works. Mo Yan himself has expressed his love for "Life and Death Fatigue" many times. He said that the book was the work he regretted the least, and admitted that if he only had two works to pass on, then there must be one of them " Life and Death Fatigue " .
At the press conference of "Life and Death Fatigue", Mo Yan also revealed, "The Nobel Prize judges mainly watched "Life and Death Fatigue" before deciding to give me the award. "
Talking about the feeling of reading "Life and Death Fatigue" for the first time, Yu Hua frankly said: "The first feeling is very jealous, and it is too good to write! "When I read it for the second time, I was happy, I was happy for Mo Yan, and I was also happy for our Chinese literature."
"Life and Death Fatigue" uses the form of six reincarnations to tell the story of Ximen Hao's reincarnation into a donkey, a cow, a pig, a dog, a monkey, and finally a defective big-headed baby. Yu Hua praised the way "Fatigue of Life and Death" is written, and no second person in China can write it. Even 430,000 words can still make people quickly enter the play, and it can be said that it is a thousand miles to read. Deep down, Yu Hua also shared his love for the "pigs" in the book: "Just by describing the pig fight, I feel the glory of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Water Margin", and the pig in "Life and Death Fatigue" is definitely the most powerful pig in the history of Chinese literature, the history of world literature, the literature of the past and the literature of the future."
Yu Hua criticized today's critics for always looking for great novels in translated novels, in history, and always do not think that there are great novels around them. But in his opinion, "Life and Death Fatigue" is a great novel.
As a fellow writer, Yu Hua couldn't help but associate "Life and Death Fatigue" with his masterpiece "Alive". He said: "I think if we want to use a book in our Chinese literature to explain what 'Alive' is written, it is best to use 'Fatigue of Life and Death'. And vice versa, if you're going to explain what Life and Death Fatigue is about, it's Alive. In this regard, netizens barrage messages, "This locked "Alive" and "Life and Death Fatigue", which I fixed on CP! "
