A Rational Meditation On Urban Living And Humanism Writing

When"Pioneer"is in a dilemma after a vigourous language experiment,"post-pioneer"novels directly display a actual trend of modern society and become a new power in literature. Pioneer's writing has a great influence on literature and their followers didn't build up their own status through denying others'achievements, like what had appeared before. Liu Jiandong and others don't deny their relationship with Pioneer, but learn from it and create their own direction. This style may make people overlook followers'endeavor because of their forerunners'great power, however it is also a more dependable way. They didn't come so violently, but adjusted to the real time tide and turned story and text back to literature. They experienced experimental stage mildly and reasonably, and transformed their own personal experence into literature imagery. Hebei writer Liu Jiandong is one of them. His writing began to explore reality after Pioneers declined, at the same time he didn't give up spirital appreciation of real life. Liu Jiandong's writing absorbed much nutrition from the Pioneers. As to the writing style, he often uses the transform of viewpoints and way of piecing up and so on, to show different sides of the same incident under different viewpoints by restricting narrating style through one-sidedness showing. From the collision of different viewpoints, the authors show their considering and searching for life truth. In Liu's works, behind his absurd background, his reasonal observaton to life supports his self-indulgment in his story. His writing key is his deep taste of life. His describing objects mainly gather in cities, and they are the common grassroots at the lower level of society. Opposite to the rich upper society, what they get from society is not the convenience that the science and technology bring, but the pressure the urgent time brings. As a follower of Pioneer, Liu Jiandong looks at the world through his own way, and see the life of all kinds of people in socity. With author's special sense, he thinks about life in his own way and his works unfold the author's consideration before reader's eyes. His works directly display a real urban life, describing urbanite's embarrassment, fear, struggle and desire, touching human nature's heartache. Multiunderstanding the world makes him depart from worldly obsession, fight with esire and pursue spirit's redemption. At the beginning of Pioneer's rebelling, they consider the desire of writing as the rebelling to humanism pressure, and their desire of writing has vigorous life. Under the present world, common customs'spirit pursuit is not a free sharp sword of rebelling speaking rights, its inclination to rights also adds new chains to human. Liu Jiandong's novels writing starts thinking about life's nature out of common customs'desire. So in this sense Liu's writing created a new aesthetic standard which differs from former pioneer literature. Here we see a kind of stalemate of two terminuses, on one hand, authors uphold high spirit, on the other hand, common customs'experience tends to the opposite. So contradiction and puzzle appear off and on in his workks. The authors try to deal with these contradictions by literature way and to exceed puzzle by absurd style, so there comes the multimeaning and dim meaning. Deeply influenced by pioneer literature Liu's craftsmanship, to a great extent, inherits pioneer's free style. Based on his rational sense of life, his works try to imply another kind of truth in modern people's life through a deformed reality. Behind the absurd imagery, there is profound rational thoughtfulness. Combination of different viewpoints and changeable description of reality displays author's unique understanding and delibration. In a sense, pursuing the formality is acceptable. Although there is a tendency of caring for reality in Liu's works, his full-length novel has less connection with important social issues, which cuts down its shock power on reality.
