Mo said that Pu Songling’s great works helped form his writing style. Pu Songling (1640-1715), born in a village of Shandong Province, was famous for his work Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio. Many famous ghost stories are from it. “I grew up in an environment immersed (沉浸) with folk culture, which naturally comes into my novels when I pick up a pen to write. This has influenced my works’ style,” he said.
During his lifetime, Mo has written many popular novels, such as Red Sorghum, Frog, The Republic of Wine, and Life and Death Are Wearing Me Out. What’s more, Red Sorghum was adapted (改编) into a film and a TV series years ago.

Mo said that Pu Songling’s great works helped form his writing style. Pu Songling (1640-1715), born in a village of Shandong Province, was famous for his work Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio. Many famous ghost stories are from it. “I grew up in an environment immersed (沉浸) with folk culture, which naturally comes into my novels when I pick up a pen to write. This has influenced my works’ style,” he said.
During his lifetime, Mo has written many popular novels, such as Red Sorghum, Frog, The Republic of Wine, and Life and Death Are Wearing Me Out. What’s more, Red Sorghum was adapted (改编) into a film and a TV series years ago.
