Chapter One Introduction 

1.1 Research Background 
 Mo Yan is a productive writer and has written various novellas and short stories and numerous novels such as Red Sorghum, Big Breasts and Wide Hips, The Republic of  Wine,  The  Garlic  Ballads,  Life  and  Death  are  Wearing  Me  Out,  Frog  and  so  on. Many  of  his  works  are  translated  into  over  40  languages  like  Italian,  Sweden, Norwegian,  French,  Japanese  and  English.  It  is  exactly  the  translations  that  make people  over  the  world  familiar  with  Mo  Yan,  thus  helping  him  gain  international recognition. The  research  object  is  Mo  Yan’s  Frog.  It  is  one  of  Mo  Yan’s  excellent representative  works  and  was  published  by  the  Shanghai  Literature  and  Art Publishing  House  in  December  2009.  In  2011,  this  book  earned  Mo  Yan  Mao  Dun Literature Prize. Mo Yan took great effort to write it. It is said that he used more than ten  years  to  contemplate  this  novel  before  starting  and  changed  three  drafts  when writing and spent four years to complete it. Compared with his other important works like Big Breasts and Wide Hips and Life and Death are Wearing Me Out, the writing of  this  book  on  the  whole  reaches  a  very  high  artistic  level  in  aspects  of  fiction structure,  narrative  language,  aesthetic  appeal,  image-shaping  and  epic  reflection  of social  change.  Frog  is  composed  of  five  letters  which  include  four  stories  and  a nine-act  play.  Those  letters  are  written  by  the  narrator  Tadpole  and  addressed  to Sugitani Akihito. It mainly talks about the fifty-year life experience of Tadpole’s aunt Gugu  as  an  obstetrician  in  her  hometown  Gaomi  in  rural  China,  through  which  the writer  describes  the  country’s  arduous  and  complex  historical  process  of implementing the family planning policy for the population control. The whole book successfully creates a vivid and moving rural gynecologist image. Owing to its high artistic and ideological values, it is worthy of a thorough study.
