Chinese writer Mo Yan，who left school for a life working the fields at the age of 12,has become the first citizen ever to win the Nobel in literature .All the Chinese people are proud of him.
Why were Chinese so excited when they heard the news? As is known to all, China has a long history of five thousand years and it has a lot of outstanding writers, such as Lu Xun, Lao She, Shen Congwen and so on.
