Different from the previous Red Sorghum Culture Festival, the third Red Sorghum Culture Festival attracted a large number of media for a simple reason: Mo Yan may appear at the Red Sorghum Culture Festival. As this year's Nobel Prize in Literature winner, Mo Yan rarely shows up after winning the prize, so people are also curious about his current state.

At the press conference the day before the opening ceremony of the Red Sorghum Culture Festival, the organizer also talked about whether Mo Yan would show up. "But at that time, we were not sure that Teacher Mo Yan would definitely appear." A staff member of the Propaganda Department of Gaomi Municipal Committee said this.

So when Mo Yan spoke at the opening ceremony, it caused a sensation. As a native of Gaomi, Mo Yan has many fans in Gaomi, and the atmosphere reached a climax.

Mo Yan also talked about Gaomi Red Sorghum Culture Festival in his speech. He said half jokingly that a friend told him that Gaomi Red Sorghum Culture Festival appeared because of him. "I said this was a serious mistake, because before Mo Yan wrote novels, we Gaomi people had planted red sorghum for thousands of years. I wrote a novel and inherited Gaomi culture ... I wrote Red Sorghum because Gaomi has endless scenes.

In addition, Mo Yan also told the media that he would get rid of the state after winning the prize as soon as possible and work in a down-to-earth manner in accordance with the established direction. At the same time, he also said: "I don't think getting Nobel Prize in Literature represents anything. I think there are many excellent writers in China, and their excellent works can also be recognized by the world. "

Hot spot of Mo Yan Fever Culture Festival

Undoubtedly, as the first China native to win the Nobel Prize in Literature, Mo Yan has become the focus of the third China (Gaomi) Red Sorghum Culture Festival, and many of his works will be put on the stage in various forms.

On the day before the opening of this Red Sorghum Culture Festival, the Propaganda Department of Qingdao Municipal Committee held a press conference in Gaomi, Shandong Province, saying that Mo Yan's novel Red Sorghum would be adapted into a dance drama by Qingdao Song and Dance Theatre. At the cultural festival, many of Mo Yan's works also received a lot of attention. For example, one of his masterpieces, Sandalwood Punishment, will be adapted into an opera for performance, and our Jing Ke will also be adapted in the form of a drama. Once the adaptation is completed, it will also premiere in Gaomi.

In addition, this cultural festival will also hold some interpretations and seminars of Mo Yan's works. Shao Chunsheng, director of gaomi city Culture, Radio, Film and Television Press and Publication Bureau and director of gaomi city Cultural Industry Management Committee, said in an interview with some media that the local government will focus on deepening the discussion on Nobel Prize in Literature while celebrating Mo Yan's award. For example, why did Mo Yan win this grand prize? How to interpret Mo Yan? What are the characteristics of Mo Yan's works?

Not just Mo Yan.

In addition to Mo Yan's works, the Red Sorghum Cultural Festival has many other forms of cultural products to meet the public. "In fact, we have held a cultural festival for three years, the purpose of which is to highlight the achievements of our cultural platform construction." A staff member of Gaomi Propaganda Department told the reporter that this year's Red Sorghum Culture Festival will hold many activities, such as Gaomi folk art group exhibition, plush toy exhibition, strange stone jade exhibition, foundation laying ceremony of Swallow Culture Park, art exhibition and ceramic exhibition. "Highlighting our high-density characteristic culture and letting more people understand and pay attention to high-density culture is one of the reasons why we held the cultural festival at the beginning."
