Red Sorghum: A Novel of China is a Chinese-language novel by Mo Yan. Its five parts were published serially in various magazines in 1986 and republished together as a single novel in 1987. It was Mo's first novel and remains one of his best-known works.

Adaptations
The novel was read by director Zhang Yimou, who proposed to Mo Yan to make two of the sections ("Red Sorghum" and "Sorghum Wine") into a film. In 1988, the resulting film Red Sorghum was presented during the competition and won the Golden Bear at the Berlin Film Festival. In 2014, it was adapted as a TV series, directed by Zheng Xiaolong. Excerpts of the novel were included in the 2016 Chinese literature anthology The Big Red Book of Modern Chinese Literature edited by Yunte Huang. ==References==
