Nobel laureate Mo Yan's new book "Grand Ceremony," written about his trip
to Sweden to receive the award, made its debut on Friday at the opening of
a national book fair.

The book is his first to be published after he was awarded the 2012 Nobel
Prize in Literature in December last year.

Mo said at a publishing ceremony held in Haikou, capital of south China's
Hainan Province, that he compiled the book to give readers a first-hand
glimpse into his experience.

"The new book also shows my great eagerness to return to my desk to write
my next book," Mo said.

Mo Yan, a pseudonym for Guan Moye, was born in 1955 and grew up in Gaomi
in east China's Shandong Province. He is the first Chinese national to win
the Nobel literature award.
