Mo Yan’s evaluation of him:

Yu Hua is a person with strong rational thinking ability. His clear ideological context is expressed in a tortuous but not cryptic way with the help of methodical logical conversion words. Secondly, Yu Hua has the ability to cast smoke bombs in novels and capture phantoms that are both ghosts and humans in the smoke, and he is so outstanding. The combination of the above two aspects, just like the unity of contradictions, constitutes a batch of his well-organized imitation dream novels. As a result, Yu Hua became the first sober dream teller in contemporary Chinese literary circles.
