Not to Be Blown Down by the Strong Wind (Mo Yan Did the Same When Accompanying His Daughter to Take the College Entrance Examination!)

After reading it leisurely, I feel that I have a clearer understanding of Teacher Mo Yan. Teacher Mo Yan is a humble writer. He compares himself to a reader, watching others see himself. His writing style is approachable and simple. The simple language style makes people understand many aspects that have never been seen before. It also makes me know more clearly that we need to read more, whether it is classics or various works of the same period, we must read, so that our hearts can become fuller and more fulfilling.

It is a very friendly book, the language is plain and fluent, and the entry point is very interesting. It changed my view on Mo Yan and gained a deeper understanding of the Nobel Prize-winning writer. Next I should read Faulkner.

This book has no plot of magical realism, nor any deliberate polishing of words and sentences. It is as if an old friend is slowly telling stories about growth, perseverance, and life under the dim light. It is simple and profound, warm and firm. In a humorous tone, the author narrates his own personal experience and life attitude and life wisdom of nearly 70 years old, conveying a very powerful mentality - in this windy era, victory is not only achieved by moving forward bravely, but also by staying firmly rooted in the original place of life and not retreating, falling, sinking, or being blown down by the strong wind, which is a kind of progress in itself.

40 Essays, chapters 1 to 6. Teacher Mo Yan tells us his childhood memories, travel experiences and life insights in simple and humorous language. There is also a chapter in the book dedicated to characters. When writing "My Father", we can find that the image of the father is no longer single and rigid, but diverse and lively. I personally like Chapter 5 where he writes about his reading experience. There is a section where he and his second brother battle wits to win the book. The process is difficult and funny. It was so difficult that his face was swollen by a wasp and he was still racing against time to read. This kind of concentration that makes me forget everything around me as soon as I read a book makes me yearn for it!

The author speaks eloquently, like a wise old man telling fables to young people. The story is highly readable and the picture descriptions are vivid. You will not feel bored during the reading process. You can read it in one day. I think it is better written than "Late Bloomer".

It's really good to read, and I laugh out loud from time to time. When I see some parts, I will be surprised to find that I have the same thoughts as the great writer. The author's writing is very humorous and down-to-earth, making it easy to read. I gained a lot of knowledge and it's very beautiful!

In this book, teacher Mo Yan tells how he got the opportunity to write when he was a child and how he gradually accumulated writing skills through his growth experience. Teacher Mo Yan's sentences are very life-like, just like an elder having a long conversation with you. "A person can be defeated by life, but cannot be defeated by life." The pressure in society is really great nowadays, so great that it seems that if you stay in place for just a second, you will be abandoned by the "big army". Mo Yan's book does not have heavy and boring preaching, but tells his own experience in a story-telling way so that readers can slowly understand it. It feels very friendly, with a touch of warmth. I like it very much and will read it many times. (Teacher Mo Yan's writing skills in the postscript are also very good and worth learning)

I saw the author's short stories one by one, each story was very vivid, and I kept imagining it in my mind like a movie. The author's life experience was also constantly understood and expanded my impression. It felt like I was walking through his own memories. I also thought of my childhood and youthful years, and I was filled with emotions!

This book is Teacher Mo Yan's new book in 2024, a collection of essays. It talks about why he is called Mo Yan, his mother, his father, his childhood, and his good friends Yu Hua and Shi Tiesheng. I also saw the story online about Yu Hua asking Shi Tiesheng to be the goalkeeper. It recommended some writers and works, and also talked about how to write. This book is for people who are at a low point and can be encouraged. I like a saying that probably means, look forward, don't look back. Every step of your effort counts.

Mr. Mo Yan's short stories cover the meaning of thinking and reading, as well as some insights into life. The content is peaceful, just like an old grandfather sharing some of his stories and life experiences. It is well worth reading!

Mr. Mo Yan's book is very simple, very real, very casual, very natural and pure. This book is a bit of an essay, casual, casual, but very natural. The article seems to be more casual, but as you listen, a classic sentence will pop up inadvertently! This book is Mr. Mo Yan's childhood memoirs and growth experience! As well as some folk customs and ordinary people's stories that happened in the village, they are just like acting in a movie, one fragment after another, presented in words, and the changes of the times are also reflected in it. Mr. Mo Yan was very honest when he was a child! So cool and cute!

The writer is like a loving elder telling stories, using delicate language to encourage children and soothe their spiritual poverty, and then provides you with specific learning methods, which is sincere and cordial.

He is worthy of being a Nobel Prize winner. His writing is unpretentious and eloquent, which is very attractive. Behind every word is a living life, which makes people empathize and trigger thinking.

Reading this book calmed my impetuous heart. I felt full of power when I read it. There are no overly gorgeous words, no ups and downs in the short chapters, but it is interesting, loving and quiet.

Through the short stories of his life, there are family, friends, hometown, insights and skills. The power of language is powerful, and inspiration goes deep into life. When I'm confused, I force myself to quietly appreciate the work, feel the power of language, feel the beautiful moments of life, and feel everything that nature brings. It reminds me of Faye Wong's song "The World Gives to Me" in the 2024 Spring Festival Gala.

Talking about prose is like reading various stories in high school. I feel like I am talking directly with the author. This is the first time I have read Teacher Mo's book. I feel that the narrative is very peaceful and close, but also humorous and interesting. Many of the thoughts and philosophies in it have indeed brought me some guidance. For example, do not forget your roots, and be humble when you are famous. Books that inspire people to think are good books😄

It gave me a desire to keep reading.

Reading Mo Yan's novels gives people a deeper understanding of human nature in society. "Big Breasts and Wide Hips" is a celebration of women; "Life and Death Fatigue" is a perception of life; "Red Sorghum" is a display of the tenacity of vitality... This book is a collection of Mo Yan's short stories, a scattered record of his life. He talks about it as if he were talking about his daily life, taking us to experience the past that the author has experienced. "The Past Years" impressed me deeply, as if I had returned to my childhood. It's a friendly and relaxing read.

It feels like a good time to read when you have nothing to do. Each chapter is not long and can be easily read. I like these two writers, Yu Hua and Shi Tiesheng. I am very happy to see their length. Yu Hua's "We Live in a Huge Gap" also mentioned the story of Tiesheng and Mo Yan. I'm glad that they are both good friends and have written very good articles.

This book is a bit like recommending some of Mo Yan's books, and I really want to read them. I like a few articles about stories. They are very simple and well-written. There is one article about them taking a bath. The scalding hot water made their skin red. It felt very graphic and made me laugh.

Teacher Mo Yan is so generous! Everything is described in detail, and it is explained to the readers how to write. This book first shows us the people and meaningful things that happened around a successful writer that touched him. As a Nobel Prize winner, he undoubtedly has his own philosophy of life. Teacher Mo Yan did not hide it. He encouraged young people to use his own growth experience to answer questions one by one and teach them silently. Regarding how to write, teacher Mo Yan also introduced without reservation how to obtain inspiration, how to empathize with people, and many writing techniques, such as writing with smell, color, touch, and temperature, so that readers can be immersed in the situation. He told us to use our ears to read and our nose to write📝. He also talked about the creative worries of writers after they become famous. We are repeatedly warned that writing must not be divorced from life. It also introduces many of Teacher Mo Yan's private reading lists! Readers certainly determine some writers, but real writers create their own readers. What should be further explained is that after the meaning of the story collapsed, a new way of grasping life and the world emerged. This is what he elaborated in the manifesto of his novel "The Work of Hypocrisy": "The superficiality of human beings comes from the limitations of experience and alienation from spiritual essence. Only by breaking away from common sense and abandoning the order and logic provided by the status quo world can we freely approach reality." "Going Away at the Age of Eighteen" is an exquisite example of contemporary novels. Its real brilliance lies in its use of multiple possibilities to collapse the meaning of the story itself. And let people feel a kind of unity composed of paradoxical logical relationships and clear and accurate movements, resulting in a dream-like beauty. In fact, the breakthrough of contemporary novels is no longer a formal breakthrough, but a philosophical breakthrough. Yu Hua can use clear thinking to design his own direction. This is something I admire, but naturally it is beyond my reach.

It's like reading a diary, recording the author's current state of mind and scenes, which is very suitable for me who don't have much patience. Each short essay, and the time at the end, seems to tell people that time is like this, fast and short, just a few sentences, and a long time has passed.

The content of the article is like an old friend recounting fragments of his life. The language is friendly and the text is easy to understand. You can feel the author's emotions in the article. This book means a lot to me. I originally wanted to read it in my spare time, but I gained a lot from reading it in its entirety. Reading will benefit us at any time. Through reading, we can expand our thinking, enrich our inner world, find a piece of pure land in the noisy external environment, cultivate our moral character, and find ourselves. Famous scholars like Mr. Mo Yan maintain an open-minded learning attitude in facing today's rapidly developing environment, and feel deeply ashamed of themselves. Complaining, being anxious, and being complacent will only make you cycle in a confused predicament and lose interest in life. I hope to take this as a reminder to continue to maintain curiosity about new things, read quietly, and live happily!

The first book I read made me read quietly and carefully. I got to know a lot of writers, especially the paragraph "True boldness is not actually killing people without blinking an eye, nor being willing to accept death, but a spirit of insisting on independent thinking, not following the crowd, not being swayed by public opinion, and daring to speak and do things under the guidance of conscience." It still remains fresh in my memory. I think this is also a kind of gain.

Through this book, I learned about Mo Yan's growth path, how he became a well-known writer step by step from the countryside, and how his works were written. A talented, talented, thinking person, with his own efforts, finally succeeded, I admire him [Like]

This book is like a dear old friend, sharing the wisdom and insights of life with you. Mo Yan's writing is simple and powerful, and the stories in the book made me feel his profound understanding of life. In particular, the essay "Not Knocked Down by the Strong Wind" tells the story of him and his grandfather, which made me understand the need to maintain perseverance and courage in the face of difficulties. This is not only a literary work, but also an empowering book.

This book is very simple and realistic, and it gave me a lot of insights. Reading this book also gave me a deeper understanding of Mo Yan, and I also fell in love with Mo Yan, a great writer. This book is a very good recommendation for people who like writing.

The article is well written. The first part is composed of real stories that happened one by one. In the middle, I write about the people who have influenced me. Finally, I write some of my insights on life. It is worth reading.

Teacher Mo Yan's books have a gentle yet powerful tone. Each fragment has a unique meaning, either a scene from his life at that time, or some truths it tells us. I will continue to read Teacher Mo Yan's books.

Every story is so vivid that people can't help but want to read more. I just saw Sheep and Me. I used to listen to the elderly at home telling stories about their past. Now I listen to Teacher Mo Yan tell it. It's very interesting. It's much more interesting than watching short videos.
