Big Breasts and Wide Hips is a novel by Mo Yan. It won the Dajia Honghe Literature Prize in 1997. The book tells the story of a mother and her eight daughters and one son, and explores Chinese history through the 20th century. The novel enthusiastically praises the original creator of life—the greatness, simplicity and selflessness of the mother, and the unparalleled significance of the inheritance of life. And in this flow chart of life, filled with the smoke of history and war, it is true, without any prejudice, and reproduces the history of a period of time. In 1997, Big Breasts and Wide Hips won China's Master Literature Award.
