Mo Yan's acceptance speech in Stockholm

Mo Yan's acceptance speech in Stockholm is as follows:

"As a rural child coming from Gaomi Northeast Township, far away from China, it is impossible to be awarded Nobel Prize in Literature in the world-famous hall today, but of course, all this is true.

I clearly know that there are many writers in this world who deserve this award more than I do. I firmly believe that as long as they continue to write, as long as they still believe that literature is the beautification of human beings and God-given rights,' she will put the crown on your head and give it to you.'

I also realize that literature has little effect on political disputes and economic crisis, but its influence on human beings has existed since ancient times. When literature exists, we don't realize its importance, but when it doesn't exist, our life will become vulgar and barbaric. Because of this, I am proud of my career.

Finally, I want to thank the folks in Gaomi Northeast Township. I will always be one of you. "(translation excerpt)

Mo Yan's award ceremony slowly kicked off in the Swedish national anthem "Song of the King". The whole hall was solemn and warm, and flowers and music matched each other. The band began to play the opening song. In Mozart's music in D major, Mo Yan, a China writer, walked into the venue with other winners in a black tuxedo.

According to Guan Xiaoxiao, this costume was not brought from China, but was specially made by the Swedish Nobel Prize jury for the winners.

Mo Yan took out a white card from his pocket, on which should be written the words of winning the prize. He sat with the winner. Mo Yan looks calm, wearing a pure white shirt and a pure white bow tie in his tuxedo. Mo Yan's seat is the seventh from the left in the front row, next to shinya yamanaka, winner of this year's medical prize.

After the winners were seated, Marcus Stoll, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Nobel Foundation, delivered a speech, and then representatives of the Nobel Prize selection committees introduced the winners' achievements respectively.

Mo Yan was introduced by Pell Wasberg, Chairman of the Nobel Literature Committee. He said: "Mo Yan is a poet. Mo Yan tore off stylized posters and made individuals stand out from the unknown crowd ... He revealed the darkest side of human existence in a playful way and inadvertently gave this symbol an image. "
