script:
      我刚刚有了微信，我会用了。我在微信里面也看到了很多莫言创作的，但不是我写的，非常好的作品。在北京有一次吃晚饭，有一个非常漂亮的优雅的一个女士就说“莫言老师，我要朗读一首你的诗歌献给你，《你若懂我该有多好》”她朗读得声情并茂，是吧。目光里边就是闪闪的含着泪光。我听了也很感动，是吧。后来他读完了，我就说如果是我写的该有多好。

translation: I only just downloaded Wechat, and I can use it now. I've seen a lot of nice works on Wechat credited to Moyan, but actually a lot of them weren't written by me. Once, I was at a dinner party in Beijing, during the dinner a very beautiful and elegant woman said to me ‘Moyan laoshi*,I will read one of your masterpieces for you—'It would be wonderful if you really understood me’ She reads with the full force of her emotions. I can see her eyes begin to well up with tears, and I was touched. When she finished reading, I said to her 'It would be wonderful if it was me that had written that'.

*here ‘laoshi’is not teacher,refers to respectful title for masters of their field*
