The novels of Sun Huifen have a distinct empirical characteristic,and most of the works are based on her experience in livelihood,emotional and life.Sun Huifen published the first novel from her diary,this work has changed her fate and inspired her creative enthusiasm,but also the statute her creative route.So Sun Huifen has keeping this path of creative experience,and finally becomes an important writer in China.An overall survey of her creation,we can find a clearly creative route,almost all of her works are about the southern Liaoning,adhere to literary writing of the southern Liaoning story.All the Liaonan stories revolved around her hometown Shanzuizi,and the Shiliwa,Xiema Shanzhuang and Shangtang Village are all the literary imaginations from there,which together constituted the complete literary hometown of Sun Huifen.Sun Huifen's literary creation can be divided into four stages,which are based on the relationship between the author's writing characteristics and individual experience.In the first stage,Sun Huifen's literary creation resources mainly come from the childhood memories of hometown and the inheritance of rural traditional cultures,which is also the literary source of the writer's spiritual history.The influence of childhood experience on literary creation has been widely recognized,and some Chinese contemporary writers have acknowledged the close relationship between their own literary creation and childhood.Sun Huifen has also admitted that her idea of writing originated from her childhood experience,and the first novel Xiema Shanzhuang which created at the turn of the century is derived from the imagination of her childhood hometown.Sun Huifen's childhood memory is filled with the universal suffering of Post-60 Writers,to the country-born Sun Huifen,this feeling of sufferings mainly manifested in the lack of material and spiritual poverty,and this experience of suffering eventually turned into her character,and then turned into a delicate,trivial and sad literary style.The second stage of Sun huifen's literary creation comes mainly from her youth life experience.Sun Huifen in his youth was full of longing for the”outside "world,and cherished the feeling of "resentment against the countryside" of rebellious youth.So in the literary works presented a literary "self-narrative" characteristics,with the novel express personal feelings,emotions,many works are drawn from the real life experience of youth.Small Rain outside the Window,Modified Tone,Lonely Song,Small Town's Intellectual,Come and Go and other novels,is not only her youth works,but also her youth emotional and experience of literary performance.After a long time of thinking,learning and writing,she began to enter theMiddle-aged writing Stage,which is also the third stage of her literary creation.At this time,Sun Huifen left the small town Zhuanghe and enter Dalian City,and became a real citizen.Although Sun Huifen's Middle-aged Writing had lost the vitality of Youth Writing,it has the depth of history and thought.Her emotional has beginning from herself to other,extending the objects of emotional attention and self-emotional and psychological attention focus to a broader group.She has shown a clear underlying position,spoken up for the rural and farmers,and paid particular attention to the living conditions and spiritual plight of those migrant workers in cities.The representative work of sun Huifen's literary creation in the fourth stage is Looking for Zhang Zhan,this novel has changed her literary pattern,she finally began to writing a novel about the city and the city people,paying attention to the spiritual plight of urban youth.It can be said that this work is a landmark of Sun Huifen,through this work we could see a completely identity change from a farmer to a citizen.It can also be regarded as the first work of Sun Huifen's urbanlization literature.The emergence of this novel also means that Sun Huifen finally entered the city from the body into the spirit,realized true spiritual engagement with the city and the identity of self-identity.Does the experimental writing of literature in the city mean that urban literature will become the normal of her creation? Let us to wait and see.There are some heterogeneity characteristics in the character image,narrative and style of her works.Born in the traditional village,Sun Huifen has been teached by personal example from her mother and grandmother,the traditional female moral character has been developed,then the traditional rural ethics has been internalized as the basic background of her personality.Therefore,we can see from the Sun Huifen's traditional features from her novels,it often takes the traditional rural ethics as the aesthetic standard to show the appreciation and recognition of the rural traditional women,like the "sitting in the bed" bride in the Sitting in the Bed.This value is eventually externalized into the perfect woman complex,and the perfect woman complex of male is eventually internalized into women's self-identity,they unconsciously identify with the female role orientation of oppression,coercion and hegemony from men in the historical tide,and the perfect woman mage into a female's life pursuit.This image of the perfect woman has appeared a lot in the Taste of the Crab,Give Me Gargle the Child,Bingde Woman and other works,shaping those mothers perfectly.But with her increasing awareness,she began to focus on the transformation of China's rural society in the fission of the modern farmers,those who walk in the urban and rural,both the loss of the rural culture of the "roots",but also suffered from the exclusion of the city,got caught up in identityconfusion.In those migrant rural workers,female migrant workers are at the bottom of the social underlying,they have suffering more profound trauma from the city.The large number of migrant workers into the city caused the rural "empty nest",the women there who have to bear the husband after the departure of the labor pressure,but also to bear the the sexual repression and anguish after their husbands' absence.It is in this historical context that the Chinese countryside began to appear a new modern female image,they should find a new way to survive.Sun huifen who does not pay much attention to the novel skills,but developed her own unique narrative style in the long-term literary creation.The narrative of sun Huifen's novels is not immutable and invariable,it changes with the narrative position and the narrative perspective.As a female writer,Sun Huifen's narrative often shows the female narrative perspective,but it does not show the paranoid feminist narrative position,which forms the paradox relationship between the narrative position and the narrative perspective.The basic position that Sun Huifen insist on in the creation of novels has led her to firmly stand on the position on rural and peasant,and to express a rural narrative perspective.After entering the city,Sun Huifen not only has the identity of the city,but also has the identity of the intellectuals,began to take the literary position of the intellectuals enlightenment to observe the Chinese countryside,to care for modern farmers,to observe the change of the modernity of the Chinese countryside from the perspective of urban narrative.In the literary style of the novel,Sun Huifen has also made experimental writing attempts,from the original prose local novels to the later the chronicle novels and non-fiction writing,she shows her consciousness of novel style innovation.Sun Huifen's literary works are deeply influenced by Shen Congwen and Xiao Hong,especially their tendency of prose in novels.Prose novels are not only reflected in language and style,but also in artistic spirit,making us difficult to distinguish between true and false in fiction.In the novel On the Pond Book,she uses the stylistic structure of the chronicle novels,which is not Sun Huifen's initiate,it comes from the Chronicle,showing the literary pursuit of authenticity.Sun Huifen's The Decameron of Life and Death uses a nonfiction writing approaching to create a real sense of nonfiction narrative,revealing the survival plight and spiritual despair of the peasants at the bottom from the material and spiritual level,and directly to the "abnormal death" and the hidden behind “suicide survivor” problem.In order to arouse the general attention of society,it expands the boundary of literature in a certain sense,and has the has literary significance and value.
