The night before Nobel laureate author Mo Yan picked up his award, he spoke to Swedish students in a cinema prior to the screening of the 1987 film Red Sorghum based on his namesake novel.
He says watching the old movie, which hoisted him to international fame, reminds him of his youth.
"I'd give up all my awards to return to my youth," he says.
