What Clothes Can Represent China?

The Nobel prize for literature 2012 will be officially presented in Stockholm, Sweden, in December 10th. A slight drop in some warm "Mo Yan fever" is bound to set off a new climax.

Recently, Mo Yan, a big brother of the family of a milk cow, visited Shandong University's School of literature and Journalism and communication, "new Xing Tan", and revealed that Mo Yan is now actively preparing for the award ceremony in Sweden.

They are also learning to dance. They plan to go to Sweden in December 4th to "feel the atmosphere and adapt to the environment, because they want to represent the image of Chinese writers."

If everyone is not as forgetful as Mo Yan brothers, he will probably remember Mo Yan's statement after the October 11th Nobel prize in literature.

At that time, he said that the Nobel prize for literature "only represents the past". He would "clear the past and start from scratch."

Mo Yan's strangely calm treatment of the Nobel Prize once surprised many Chinese netizens as a "master demeanor", and even even criticized him for his "up to date" low-level grammatical mistakes, and I could not help but admire his great ambition. I couldn't help looking at him a few times, and regretted his franzness and recklessness on that day.

However, only a month later, our master Mo Yan's attitude towards the Nobel prize for literature came to a "wild and generous" attitude. It was not only a week to celebrate the award, but also to learn how to dance and prepare to wear European talent.

"On behalf of Chinese writers"...

It is full of paradoxes that make it difficult for people to adapt.

Let Mo Yan "represent" the image of Chinese writers, believing that many Chinese writers will not agree.

We really can't imagine what kind of image Mo Yan would look like in a tuxedo.

I thought that if Mo Yan really wanted to represent "Chinese writers", he really didn't need to cater to the Europeans' taste and put on any swallowtail clothes. He could learn from the late Japanese writer Kawabata Yasunari how to represent him.

In 1968, when Kawabata Yasunari received the Nobel prize in literature in Stockholm, he went on stage in a kimono and made a speech entitled "my beautiful Japan". He explained the beauty of Japanese culture with the flower road of "a flower is more beautiful than one hundred flowers". In the ordinary people's view of the sacred and solemn Nobel prize podium, the white haired Kawabata Yasunari did not talk about literary creation, nor did he thank "NTV" and "Yomiuri Shimbun", but rather went to the trouble of imparting flower arranging skills to the world.

At that time, Kawabata Yasunari was not a literary master. He was like a skillful craftsman in the countryside of Osaka. He made Europe see Japanese literature and Japanese people so that the whole world was admirable and respectful.

Then I thought of my Mr. Shen Congwen, my hometown in Hunan. If in 1988, Shen Congwen could still stay a few more months, the big pie of "the first prize of the Chinese writer Nobel literature" would not have fallen on Mo Yan's head. Shen Congwen was also an expert in the field of ancient Chinese costume research.

And wearing a tuxedo to receive a prize, will he jump out and take a few mouths?
