作文Suggested answer Mo Yans recent novel Life and Death Are Wearing Me Out is a bizarre fantasy of a rich landlord and his family set against 50 years of social change in rural China. This fascinating novel is translated into English in 2008. The landlord Ximen Nao is executed early in the Chinese Revolution. In hell, he refuses to admit his wrongdoing, and Yama, the King of Hell, allows him to return reincarnated in the successive forms of five animalsa donkey, an ox, a pig, a dog and a monkeyso that he can find out his guilt. The animals, each connected to Ximens family, see the changes in rural China over 19502000, but cannot help the family. One strength is how Mo Yan creates exaggerated and absurd scenes which are vivid and humorous, and gives a tragic insight into past situations: When pigs get ill and die villagers try many methods to get rid of the bodies and finally put them in the river. When the donkey dies in the great famine, it is instantly turned into pieces of meat; in more recent times, the monkey has a short life while people ride in luxury cars and wear Rolex watches. This scene shows typical humour: The loudspeakers blared so loud a farmers wife had a miscarriage, a pig ran headlong into a wall and knocked itself out, a whole roost of laying hens took to the air, and local dogs barked themselves hoarse. The main characters are hard-working, stubborn, human and independent; other characters are shown through satire. Ximens final reincarnation is as a big-headed boy with an unusual memory and a gift for languagepossibly an ironic reference to the writer who has appeared in a mocking manner in several scenes in the novel.
