What was the background of Mo Yan's 'Frog'?
Mo Yan's representative work, Frog, was based on his personal experiences. Mo Yan used to be a rural teacher in Shandong. He saw some problems in China's rural education, including the lack of opportunities for rural children to receive quality education and the lack of teachers. These questions made him think deeply about the meaning of education and made him realize that he was a person. In Frog, Mo Yan described a special group of people-the frogmen. They were given a special identity and mission to survive and reproduce in a special social environment. The emergence of this group represented some changes in China's rural society, and also reflected the conflict and integration of Chinese traditional culture and values with modern life. In addition, Mo Yan also described the life of a small village and the ways of the world in Frog, showing all aspects of Chinese society. The novel narrated from the first-person perspective, presenting a real and vivid world through the protagonist's experiences and feelings.
