On a brisk day in mid-October, Nobel prizewinner for literature Mo Yan's 62-year-old brother, Guan Moxin, stands outside their childhood home in Ping'an village, Shandong coastal province, posing for photographs with a steady stream of brightly dressed tourists. He smiles as a teenage girl in a pink sweater puts her hand on his shoulder and flashes a peace sign at the camera. 在10月中旬生机勃勃的一天，诺贝尔奖文学奖得主莫言62岁的哥哥管谟欣，站在山东沿海省份平安村他们童年的家门口，摆着姿势与源源不断穿着鲜艳的游客一起照相。当一个穿粉红色毛衣的少女把手放在他的肩上，他微笑着，在相机一闪的时候他轻轻地叹了口气。 "Everybody wants to understand what Mo Yan's life used to be like, when we were young," says Guan, leading a small crowd inside the abandoned house to a dusty room where Mo, now 57, was married. A broken antique radio – a wedding gift, Guan says – sits on a crumbling concrete bed, untouched for decades. “每个人都想了解莫言过去的生活是怎样的，当我们年轻的时候，”管谟新，带着一小群人从一间废弃的房子进入一间尘土飞扬的房间，这里是现年57岁的莫言曾经结婚的地方。一个旧古董收音机是结婚礼物，管谟欣坐在一张几十年未碰过的摇摇欲坠的混凝土床上说道。 Ping'an, population 800, may soon be hard-pressed to maintain its rustic charm. Authorities in Gaomi, the municipality that administers Ping'an, plans to build a £67m "Mo Yan Culture Experience" theme park around the writer's old home, according to the Beijing News. |
