Chinese writer Mo Yan’s Nobel Prize for Literature might ignite an explosion of global interest in Chinese literature and lead to more titles translated into English, European experts say.
“Hopefully, the award means more people will read Chinese literature and more works will get translated,” says Michel Hockx, professor of the Languages and Cultures of China and Inner Asia from University of London. “Many very good Chinese writers have been accepted globally for a long time already. Mo Yan is probably the most translated Chinese writer alive, with at least five of his novels made available in English over the past 20 years.”
Jonathan Ruppin, web editor of bookseller Foyles, says Mo’s win coincides with growing interest in Chinese literature and recognizes the talents of a distinctive and visionary（富于幻想的）writer. “We are very excited by the fact that English translations of more of his books should now become available,” Ruppin says. He made the comment after Mo became the first Chinese citizen to win the Nobel Prize for Literature in its century-long history.
As East-West cultural exchange has been booming, Chinese literature has been attracting growing attention in recent years. Hockx explains, “It’s mainly because there are many more opportunities for Chinese writers to visit other countries, to publish their works outside China and to interact with readers abroad. At the same time, more and more people globally are learning Chinese and taking an interest in the Chinese language and culture.”
University of Oxford lecturer in modern Chinese literature Margaret Hillenbrand says, “The obvious reason for the growing global presence of Chinese literature is the growing global presence of China itself. People have come to realize that there is a serious knowledge deficit between China and its international counterparts — in particular, China knows incomparably more about Europe and America than the other way round — and reading Chinese literature is an effective, simple means of solving that gap.”

How does it happen that children learn their mother tongue SO well?When we compare them

With adults learning a foreign language，we often find this interesting fact．A little child without

knowledge or experience often succeeds in a complete mastery of the language．A grown—up person with fully developed mental powers，in most cases，may end up with a faulty and inexact corflllland．What accounts for tllis difference?

Despite other explanations。tlle real answer in my opinion hes partly in the child himself，partly in the behaviour of the people around him．In the first place，the time of learning the mother tongue in the most favorable of all，namely，the first years of hfe．A child hears it spoken from morning till night and，what is more important，always in its genuine form，with the right pronunciation，rightIntonation，right use of words and right structure．He drinksin all the words and expressions which come to him in a hsh．ever—bubbhng spring．There is no resistance：there is perfect assimilation．

Then the child has，as it were，private lessons all the year round，while an adult language—

student has each week a limited number of hours which he generally shares with others．The child

has another advantage：he hears the language in all possible situations，always accompanied by the

right kind of gestures and facial expressions．Here there is nothing unnatural，such as is often found

In language lessons in schools，when one talks about ice and snow in June or scorching heat in January And what a child hears is generally what immediately interests him．Again and again，when his attempts at speech a聪successful，his desires are understood and fulfilled．

Finally，though a child’S“teachers”may not have been trained in language teaching，their re-

lations with him are always close and personal．ney take great pains to Inske their lessons easy．

60．’rhe main idea of the passage is——．

A．to tell why the native language is learnt SO well by children

B．to teach children to learn their lllothei"language we

C．to show that children’S teacher should take great p8ins to make their lessons easy

D．to do research into the difference between children and adults

NEW YORK - People who keep doing some work in their field after they retire may enjoy better physical and mental health than those who stop work completely or switch to another area of work, according to a U.S. study.

Researchers from the University of Maryland said the findings suggest that prospective retirees should consider moving into so-called "bridge employment" as a transition to full retirement.

"In essence, if someone is in a field where part-time work or self-employment is possible, he or she should consider it as they plan for retirement," researcher Dr. Mo Wang, an assistant professor of psychology, told Reuters Health.

For their study, Wang and his colleagues used data on more than 12,000 workers in a U.S. health study begun in 1992. Participants, who were between the ages of 51 and 61 at the outset, were surveyed every two years over a six-year period.

Overall, Wang's team found, people who went into some form of bridge employment reported lower rates of major diseases like high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes and arthritis during the study period than their counterparts who went straight into full retirement.

The findings were not explained by older age or worse initial health among people who opted for full retirement, the investigators report in the Journal of Occupational Health Psychology.

On top of their better physical health, "bridge" workers also tended to report fewer mental health problems, such as depression.

The same mental health benefits were not seen, however, when retirees took part-time work in other fields -- possibly, Wang said, because many of these people may have taken those jobs out of financial need rather than choice.

He noted that the lack of benefit could also stem from the fact that these retirees had to adjust to an unfamiliar job position or had to make lifestyle changes.

Bridge work, particularly in one's accustomed field, may benefit physical and mental health for a number of reasons, according to Wang.

In general, he explained, such work may help older adults maintain the active lifestyles they had during their careers and decrease any stress they might feel from the transition into retirement. wwwWang said when it comes to mental health, for instance, bridge work may help by allowing people to keep some of the "role identity" that they have formed over their careers.

Staying active in general, not only through work, can also benefit retirees' physical health, Wang noted. He added, however, that any mental health benefits are likely to depend on the type of activity -- whether it is something that the person truly enjoys, and that helps ease any stress of moving into retirement.

"These findings," Wang said, "suggest that for retirees and prospective retirees, carefully considering whether to engage in bridge employment -- and if so, what types of bridge employment -- is quite important."

Guan Yifan, 90, the father of Nobel prize winner, Mo Yan, in front of Mo’s childhood home.

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.

"Everybody wants to understand what Mo Yan'' s life used to be like, when we were young," says Guan, lead-ing 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.

Gaomi people are extremely proud of their Nobel prizewinner, whom they fondly refer to as "Teacher Mo Yan". Long red banners（横幅）congratulating Mo hang from the sides of concrete homes along major streets.

Guan Moxin recalls one tourist who ate a bean from a vine（腾）near their childhood home, threw his arms in the air, and declared that he had consumed a tiny piece of Mo’s Nobel miracle.

“Mo Yan’s works have elements from Gaomi’s culture，”says Mao Weijie，an official who over-sees the newly-built Mo’Yan museum in a local high school．“He writes about Gaomi paper-cutting，for example，and sometimes he writes using our Gaomi dialect．”

Guan Yifan，Mo’s father，says that Mo does not come hack home often，but when he does，“we just talk about what’8 happening our home hew the tomatoes are growing，that type of thing．”Inside the house，faded family pictures hang on newspaper-covered walls；outside，his courtyard over-flows with corn，the fruits of a good harvest．

Although Guan says that he has never read his son’s books，he is proud of Mo’s achievements．“We’re all just happy，”he says．“Very，very happy．”
