Mo Yan has been loved by Chinese readers and reviewers a long time as the most important writers in China today. The enthusiasm of reading and criticism will be stimulated much more after Mo Yan was honored by The Nobel Prize for literature of the year2012. But I have found that it is blank that the research on incomplete people who are very common and important in Mo Yan’s novels after my long-term reading. Therefore I chose this academic valuable object as my paper’s main context.The introduction will make readers have a preliminary understanding about this paper which expounded the object’s background, target, related results, value, methods and innovation.It is the main context of the first chapter that the classification and metaphor of the incomplete people. I divided the incomplete people into the disabled and the people whose spirit were incomplete who had their own connotation and endowment. The incomplete people are the metaphor of the nature of the world’s drawback, and also it is the way of Mo Yan how to watch and know the world.The second chapter is the most important part of the paper which discussed the connotation of the incomplete people. These people’s identity is marginal and folk, at the same time their survival and human nature is extreme when compared with normal people. These characteristics make the incomplete people be the unique roles in Mo Yan and Chinese contemporary literature’s novels.It is the main context of the third chapter that the creative origin of the incomplete people. The creative origin and motivation are complex why Mo Yan created so many incomplete people. It includes his attention to marginal people and folk culture, his interest in the strange people and things, his unique viewpoint of surveying the ugly and his absorption to the folk tales and the Latin American literature. Lastly it is also related to Mo Yan’s childhood which is the compensation to his childhood’s defects. I analyzed this in detail in this part.The conclusion summarized the principal part of the paper. I made judgment and predication about the incomplete people in Mo Yan’s novels in higher level in contact with the progress and characteristic of Mo Yan’s creative work.This paper classified the incomplete people of Mo Yan’s novels and elaborated the implied meaning, the characteristic of identity, the survival situation and the human nature of these people in detail. I also analyzed the creative motivation of the incomplete people. I am wishing that I can develop a new point of view on Mo Yan’s research and provide reference for the future research on the incomplete people in Mo Yan’s novels.
