2012-10-12来源:CCTV9

The family of the Nobel Laureate writer, say they are both proud and surprised by his award. They also recalled Mo Yan’s experiences in his upbringing.

Guan Yifan, Mo Yan’s father, said, "When he was little at school he was very naughty. But he also had to do farmwork. During difficult times we had to eat wild plants, and he would have to go and dig them up."

Guan Moxin, Mo Yan’s older brother, said, "We couldn’t believe he won at first. We finally believed it after reading the news again and again. We just didn’t think it was possible. He is just a man from this remote land, and this poor family. He’s not from some big city."
