Episode 11

In the long river of literature, the four writers Yu Hua, Su Tong, Mo Yan and Cheng Yongxin are like shining stars. Their works lead readers to sit in a time machine, travel through time and space, and return to their past years.

The young writer and poet Jiao Dian once said affectionately that Mo Yan was like a grandfather to him, a big tree that always supported him.Mo Yan fully affirmed Jiao Dian's creative talent and encouraged him to continuously pursue innovation on the road of creation.Mo Yan believes that a writer should not solidify his own style prematurely, but should be brave enough to try new ideas and forms.He suggested that Jiao Dian could try some larger-scale creations, such as novellas or short novels, because these forms can better demonstrate the writer's ability to control language, characterization and structure.

In Mo Yan's view, writing about his childhood is actually about writing about his hometown, and writing about his hometown is about writing about the people he is most familiar with.He emphasized that literature is always inseparable from the soil of life, and the gaze of childhood is the most literary because it has not been domesticated by worldly disturbances.This pure perspective makes childhood memories the most valuable asset in literary creation.

Su Tong also holds a similar view. He believes that observation and imagination in childhood are indispensable elements in literary creation.Su Tong's works are often full of innocence and fantasy. He is good at showing the wonder and beauty of the world through children's perspective.

Yu Hua and Cheng Yongxin lead readers into different literary worlds with their unique writing styles and profound social insights.Yu Hua's works often explore the complexity of human nature and the impermanence of society, while Cheng Yongxin paints vivid pictures of life with his delicate brushwork and profound social observation.
