Abstract

The animal writing in Life and death Are Wearing Me out is representative in Mo Yan’s works. The novel reveals the madness of human society and the ugliness of human nature through the animal perspective, and also records the development and changes of rural life in China over more than 50 years, from 1950s to the early 21st century. Animal writing in Life and death Are Wearing Me out contains the posthuman thinking, which not only sharply criticizes human nature and anthropocentrism, but also deeply reflects on the boundary between human and animals. And of course, in addition to criticism, Mo Yan also praises the goodness and fortitude of man and animals in the book.
