莫言自曝戒不掉刷短视频，然后干了一件“大事”……

“我要宣布一件大事！”

4月12日晚，作家莫言在小红书账号上宣布了自己新书《人呐》刚刚上市的消息，并官宣了首次新书发布会直播的时间。

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 ，比新书更让人意想不到的是这本书的灵感来源——刷短视频。

莫言在视频中表示：“和大家一样，我日常生活中也喜欢刷短视频，经常一刷就停不下来，很上瘾。”

此前，莫言就在一场座谈会上提到自己刷短视频上瘾的经历。

他表示，经常一刷一两个小时，有时候，他会提醒自己一天只能刷半小时视频，结果等放下手机一看，三小时过去了。

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，正是这种体验启发了他，创作了一本能让读者像刷视频一样阅读的小说集。

据了解，《人呐》是莫言的首部笔记体小说集，收录的81篇作品最短仅200字，大部分故事5-10分钟即可读完。

据他介绍，这部作品的每篇故事都像短视频一样简短、轻松、有趣，又让人欲罢不能，希望读者可以像刷视频一样“刷”他的小说。

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.

视频发布后，莫言和网友在评论区玩梗不断。

有网友调侃，刷短视频都能刷出不一样的结果，“这就是人与人的不同之处吧”。

还有网友表示，书中《余华的祖先》这一章节，已经成功吸引了自己的注意。

更有网友预言，这本新书的内容可能会成为考题，希望莫言先把答案写好。

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”刷短视频写出了新书，莫言表示：现在还在持续努力戒掉短视频。

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