Born Guan Moye in 1955, in the town of Gaomi in Shandong province, China, he adopted the pen name Mo Yan, which can be translated from Chinese as "don't speak" or "be silent".
During the Cultural Revolution, Guan left school and joined the Chinese army in 1976, serving as a platoon commander, political instructor, and security officer.
Even while in the army in the early 1980s, Mo Yan began publishing his works. In 1984, he was transferred to the Department of Literature in the Army's Cultural Academy, and in 1991, he obtained a doctorate degree from Beijing Normal University.
Mo Yan's first published work was the novel "Falling Rain on a Spring Night" in 1981.
