In recent years, besides the creation and adaptation of dramas, Mo Yan has published a lot of opinions on drama, and gradually formed his unique concept of drama. Mo Yan mentioned Chen Duxiu many times in a series of speeches, dialogues and interviews. Mo Yan’s understanding of the aesthetic education and social function of drama is similar to Chen Duxiu’s views in On Drama. An in-depth interpretation of the relevance between Mo Yan’s concept of drama and Chen Duxiu’s views on drama is also helpful to deepen the understanding of the folk character and the authorial stance of Jin Yi, his first large-scale drama script.
