“我要宣布一件大事！”

4月12日晚，作家莫言在小紅書賬號上宣布了自己新書《人吶》剛剛上市的消息，并官宣了首次新書發(fā)布會直播的時(shí)間。

Chinese Nobel laureate Mo Yan has announced the release of his new book Ren Na, inspired by his habit of watching short videos.

On Sunday evening, the writer shared the news on his Xiaohongshu account and revealed plans to host his livestreamed book launch.

然而 ，比新書更讓人意想不到的是這本書的靈感來源——刷短視頻。

莫言在視頻中表示：“和大家一樣，我日常生活中也喜歡刷短視頻，經(jīng)常一刷就停不下來，很上癮?！?/p>

此前，莫言就在一場座談會上提到自己刷短視頻上癮的經(jīng)歷。

他表示，經(jīng)常一刷一兩個(gè)小時(shí)，有時(shí)候，他會提醒自己一天只能刷半小時(shí)視頻，結(jié)果等放下手機(jī)一看，三小時(shí)過去了。

Mo said he often loses track of time while scrolling through short videos, sometimes spending hours despite attempts to limit his usage.

莫言表示，正是這種體驗(yàn)啟發(fā)了他，創(chuàng)作了一本能讓讀者像刷視頻一樣閱讀的小說集。

據(jù)了解，《人吶》是莫言的首部筆記體小說集，收錄的81篇作品最短僅200字，大部分故事5-10分鐘即可讀完。

據(jù)他介紹，這部作品的每篇故事都像短視頻一樣簡短、輕松、有趣，又讓人欲罷不能，希望讀者可以像刷視頻一樣“刷”他的小說。

According to Mo, this experience inspired his new book, a collection of 81 short pieces — some as brief as 200 words — designed for quick and engaging reading.

Described as his first notebook-style fiction collection, the book features concise, light, and entertaining stories intended to keep readers hooked in a way similar to short videos.

視頻發(fā)布后，莫言和網(wǎng)友在評論區(qū)玩梗不斷。

有網(wǎng)友調(diào)侃，刷短視頻都能刷出不一樣的結(jié)果，“這就是人與人的不同之處吧”。

還有網(wǎng)友表示，書中《余華的祖先》這一章節(jié)，已經(jīng)成功吸引了自己的注意。

更有網(wǎng)友預(yù)言，這本新書的內(nèi)容可能會成為考題，希望莫言先把答案寫好。

Online reactions quickly followed. Some users joked about how the same scrolling habit can lead to very different outcomes, while others said they were particularly drawn to a chapter titled The Ancestor of Yu Hua, referencing fellow writer Yu Hua. Some also speculated that the book's content could appear in future exam questions.

即便“靠”刷短視頻寫出了新書，莫言表示：現(xiàn)在還在持續(xù)努力戒掉短視頻。

Despite crediting short videos as a source of inspiration, the author emphasized that he is still trying to cut down on his screen time.
