10月13日，作家莫言在山东淄博举行的一场座谈会上，提到自己刷短视频上瘾的经历。

In a candid talk in Zibo, Shandong province, Nobel laureate Mo Yan confessed to an unexpected habit: he's hooked on short videos. The acclaimed writer admitted spending one to two hours daily scrolling through clips — often losing track of time despite setting strict limits for himself.

莫言表示，他刷短视频也“上瘾”，经常一刷一两个小时。

有时候，他会提醒自己，一天只能刷半小时视频，如果遇到好的就延长到一小时。结果等放下手机一看，三小时过去了。

"I tell myself to stop after 30 minutes, but if the content is good, I extend it to an hour. Then I put down my phone and realize three hours have passed," Mo shared with the audience.

在莫言看来，刷短视频的优质内容也是一种学习，获取了一定的信息，但是“可怕”的是，大数据不断推送重复的信息，浪费了时间。

据报道，莫言在接受采访时表示，文艺创作要规范化，“网上也应该有它的规矩了，我现在看很多短视频，也在互相抄袭，这样肯定是一种不健康的现象，网络上应该提倡原创，提倡来自生活的一些作品。”

While he believes high-quality videos can be a source of learning, Mo expressed concern about the "frightening" effect of algorithms that endlessly push repetitive content. "It wastes time," he remarked, calling for more originality and regulation in online content creation.

He emphasized that widespread copying among creators is "an unhealthy trend" and urged more authentic, life-inspired works.

不少网友在评论区表示，这确实值得重视：





莫言也有自己的短视频账号，今年春天他发布了自己在山东赶大集的内容就在平台爆火。（莫言“赶集vlog”堪比散文，网友：表达了什么中心思想？）

Mo knows the power of short videos firsthand. This spring, a casual clip of him visiting a Shandong country market went viral. "I never expected such a wide reach," he reflected. "It felt natural and real — unplanned and unscripted, yet it resonated more than many polished productions."

莫言表示，“我当时也没意识到会产生如此广泛的影响，当时跟着一起去的朋友拍了一些视频，发在了抖音上，结果点击率、转载量都很高，这样一种随机的、没有创作的创作，这样产生的效果，比精心构思的、有导演的创作反而影响更大，因为它自然、真实。”



莫言曾在自己的公众号写道，“其实我也刷短视频，但每次刷完了都会批评自己，怎么又刷了一小时，而且这一小时里大部分都是比较无聊的东西。所以短视频，只是一个阶段性的现象。还是读书，是我们业余时间里，最值得做，最应该做的事情！”

Despite his own engagement with the trend, Mo hasn't stopped advocating for books. On his social media account, he once wrote: "Every time I finish binge-watching, I scold myself. Short videos are just a phase — reading remains the most worthwhile way to spend our free time."
