中國當代著名作家莫言獲得2012年諾貝爾文學獎，這是首次有中國人獲得這壹獎項。
Born Guan Moye, the author writes under the pen name Mo Yan, which means "don't speak" in Chinese。
莫言原名管謨業，筆名“莫言”，意為“不要說話”。
Mo Yan was granted an honorary PhD of Arts by OUHK (Open University of Hong Kong) and was appointed guest professor at the Qingdao University of Technology. Relying on a series of country literary works, Mo's claim to fame came in the 1980s when he established a reputation for being a so-called root-seeking writer. His works were strongly influenced by magical realism and told the tales of numerous legends which took place in Gaomi, Shandong Province. Mo is renowned for his unique perceptions of reality, imaginative descriptions, de-familiarization processing, mysticism and a pioneering style。
莫言是香港公開大學榮譽文學博士，青島科技大學(微博)客座教授。他自1980年代中期以壹系列鄉土作品崛起，被歸類為“尋根文學”作家。莫言的作品深受魔幻現實主義影響，寫的是發生在山東高密東北鄉的傳奇。莫言在他的小說中構造了獨特的主觀感覺世界、天馬行空般的敘述、陌生化的處理，塑造出神秘的對象世界，帶有明顯的“先鋒”色彩。
