Abstract

Mo Yan's works always take the description of human beings as the core of their charm, among which "human behavior" is the most detailed description. Mo Yan revealed the truth of history and society and the refraction of the real world by depicting the behavior of characters. In the use of many elements, the emergence of violence continues to expand the tension of the work. Therefore, it can be seen that in Mo Yan's novel world, violence appears in two extreme roles: Hero and devil. The interweaving of these roles deduces the essence of some absurd violence stories in historical documentaries, making modern Chinese novels more powerful in the power of deconstructing reality, and seeing new characteristics and depth in the level of questioning the meaning of existence. It is of great significance to reflect on people's own values, face up to violence, and avoid violence, it has the value of moving from literature to reality.
