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．”
