莫言以其文学创作关注着人的生命力的消隐及退化,在作品中用具体鲜明的人物形象来表达他对人的蓬勃旺盛的生命力的颂扬和呼唤。这一主题在当代文学创作中无疑是独特而醒目的,它承继了现代文学中一个生生不息的命题———对重塑民族生命活力的努力。 Mo Yan focuses his attention on the disappearance and degradation of human vitality in his literary creation, and expresses his glorification and calling of the vigorous vitality of man in his works by using concrete and vivid characters. This theme is undoubtedly unique and striking in contemporary literary creation. It inherits an endless proposition in modern literature --- its efforts to reshape the vitality of the nation.
