Question

Mo Yan, a well-known Chinese writer, won the Nobel Prize for literature(文学) in 2012. He was also the first Chinese writer who got this prize in history. When he was interviewed, he said he was only a normal person who could tell stories. He especially thanked his mother. He thought his mother had a strong influence(影响) on him.

Mo Yan was born in a poor family in China’s rural area(农村地区). When he was young, he was a little bit shy because he thought he wasn’t good-looking. His classmates often played jokes on his look. That made him very upset. His mother encouraged him to face the fact bravely. She told him not to look down on(看不起) himself. She said it didn’t matter if a person didn’t have a good look and it was important to work hard and never give up. She hoped that his son would be a useful person in society(社会).

Mo Yan didn’t let her mother down. He worked hard at writing.. He wrote many famous novels. Such as Hong Gao Liang(《红高粱》) and Wa (《娃》). His success tells us a truth, “Nobody can beat you unless you beat yourself.” Hold on to your dream and your dream will come true in the end.
