Mo Yan
Born in 1955, the novelist/short story writer’s real name is Guan Moye (管谟业), better known by his pen name Mo Yan. He is a celebrated contemporary Chinese literary figure. His works are the most translated among all Chinese contemporary literature as well as the most pirated. Drew from Mo’s hometown and childhood memories, his style is a mixture of fantasy and reality, historical and social perspectives with heavy influence from Chinese folk culture. His most well-known novel is probably “Red Sorghum: A Novel of China (红高粱家族 Hónggāoliang Jiāzú),” later adapted in 1987 into the movie “Red Sorghum (红高粱 Hónggāoliang)” by Director Zhang Yimou.

The nature 大自然
大自然非常美丽，也十分神奇，它赠与了我们许多东西。山谷和山坡上开满的五彩缤纷的花朵、枫叶褪下绿衣，换上橘红的新衣。这些都是大自然的杰作鸟儿在枝头开心地唱着优美动人的旋律，这是因为大自然让鸟儿获得自由，因此让鸟儿开心地唱着歌。看！大自然是多么奥妙、美好啊！
Nature is very beautiful and miraculous, it bestows us so many things. Colorful flowers in valleys and hillsides and green maple leaves change into new orange garments. All of them are the works of nature. Birds are singing melodies happily on the tree, because nature lets them enjoy freedom. Look! How miraculous and splendid the nature is!

The sky in the past 旧时的天空
在你离开之后的天空，我像风筝寻一个梦，雨后的天空，是否有放晴后的面容……
——蔡依林《天空》
When you leave, I'm like a kite pursuing a dream in the sky. I wonder if the sky still has a clear face after the rain…
