Abstract: MO Yan has found a unique narrative way to deal with the relationship between novels and the world: His novels start from sensations and his hometown Gaomi; he prefers polyphony, multi-dimensions and characters' positions and rejects distinct value judgments. Facing a world that shelters evils, MO Yan explains it with frantic words of humor, laughter and compassion, represents it with "noisy" ambiguity and describes it with deepest desires and passions. Therefore, MO Yan's novels are formally characterized by "a flood of words" and the hustle and bustle of the secular life, revealing a world of kindness, evil, love, hate, sadness and joy. It is in this way that MO Yan starts from sensations and sets up a stage for modern China against the realistic social backdrop of fickleness and unease. This shows that MO Yan's novels choose to describe the living status of China's common people in Chinese rural society, which is encountered with evils and predicaments.

Key words: MO Yan's novels, sensations, secular life, “a flood of words”
