THIS years Nobel literature laureate chose his pen name Mo Yan, which means Dont speak, as a reminder to himself that he should talk less and write more. Mo, whose real name is Guan Moye, said he had brought the family a lot of trouble for his talkativeness when he was young. My mother felt so anguished and persuaded me to keep my mouth shut. I was so moved by her painful expression and swore to be silent since then, he said. Thats why I gave myself such a pen name when I started writing in 1981. 今年的诺贝尔文学奖获得者将他的笔名选择了莫言，意为“不要说话，”作为自我提醒，他应该少说话，多写作。 莫言原名管谟业，说他年轻时的多嘴多舌“给家庭带来了很大的麻烦”。 “我的母亲感到如此痛苦，并劝我闭嘴，她痛苦的表情使我伸手触动，并发誓从那时起保持沉默，”他说。 “这就是为什么我在1981年开始写作时，给自己取了这样一个笔名。” That was the year his novella, Drizzle on a Spring Night, was published.

His early education was cut short at the age of 12 by the cultural revolution, a decade of political chaos when many of Chinas schools closed down. Instead of avoiding memories of his poverty-stricken childhood, Mo valued it so much he said in a speech at Stanford University in California that loneliness and hunger were my fortunes of creation. 莫言在香港公开大学的一次演讲中说：“那时，我的家庭一年之中都负担不起这样的饭。 莫言说，他开始萌生了成为一名作家的梦想，一日三餐吃饺子。他的早期教育在12岁时被“文化大革命”切断，一场十年的政治混乱，当时中国的许多学校都关闭了。 莫言不是回避他贫困的童年记忆，而是非常珍视它们，他在美国加利福尼亚州的斯坦福大学那场“孤独和饥饿是我创作的财富”的演讲中说道。 When I was five or six, the whole nation w
