问题    我第一次读到莫言,是他的《红高粱》,大约是在20世纪80年代末。那时我想他应是上了年纪的作家,因为他知道那么多过去的故事,如抗日战争、辛亥革命、“文化大革命”等。后来见了面才知,他其实比我大不了多少。然而,他的经历和想象何以如此丰富?
   我印象最深的,是他忒能讲故事,且叙事的方式很特别。他经常是一气呵成,不循规蹈矩,又颇带自我嘲讽与哲理意味。例如,《红高粱》中有一段:“秋风苍凉,阳光很旺,瓦蓝的天上游荡着一朵朵丰满的白云,高粱上滑动着一朵朵丰满白云的紫红色影子。一队队暗红色的人在高粱棵子里穿梭拉网,几十年如一日。他们杀人越货,精忠报国,他们演出过一幕幕英勇悲壮的舞剧,使我们这些活着的不肖子孙相形见绌,在进步的同时,我真切地感到种的退化。”

选项

答案 The first Mo Yan novel that I read was Red Sorghum at the end of 1980s. I expected to meet a much more senior person, since his writings mostly involve in old stories happening in Anti-Japanese War, Revolution of 1911 (which overthrew the Qing Dynasty) and so on, but he actually turned out to a little bit older than me. The question is how could he have such rich experience and unbelievable imagination? I was amazed by his ability to tell a story and the peculiar way of his narration. Using ridicule and sarcasm, Mo Yan knows very well how to write unconventionally, philosophically as well as quite consistently. Taking a typical passage in his Red Sorghum as an example, "The autumn winds are rather chilly even on a perfect sunny day, while white clouds float in the tile-blue sky and cast full purple shadows onto the sorghum fields below. Teams of scarlet fighters shuttle among the sorghum stalks to interlace human network year after year, decade after decade. There were killings, plundering, loyal defense played out on the stage of life by these brave men who dwarfed us un-filial descendants occupying this land. Progress may have been made, but I do have a nagging sense of our species’ regression" .
