Images Of Migrant Workers' Self-description And Construction In The Development Of Urbanization

No matter how wealthy or poor the countries are, they are leading the way to the urbanization in the wave surge of global urbanization. China experienced evolution more than half a century, having been through a harsh, rough period of time since our country has been founded. It is the same as many developing countries, China' urbanization is characterized with starting late, low lever, great potential. In the year of 1979, China's urbanization has stepped into the stage of resurgence, breaking out of encirclement and development rapidly after the reform and open up policy. In the last 30 years, our country achieved delightful progres, meanwhile, some social problems come out, "migrant workers" included. Surging " overflow of migrant workers" surge up to every link of china's reformation, development and urbanization, being a strong promotive power which also be a social issue at the same time. Lifestyle, changing environment have an effect on migrant workers'emotion and thoughts, they involve those feelings in the world of words expressing which help to bring about the birth of migrant workers'literature. Many migrant workers as well as writers begin to make note of themselves and what they are been through, desire and struggling, dreams and hesitating, which consist of a unique scenery in the history of contemporary literature. It is fully been paid attention to by sociology because of their special identities.Research on theory is supposed to be based on practice and put into practice as goals, as a result, this research' viewing angle is "migrant workers issues" under the background of urbanization, taking the "image of migrant workers" which made by migrant workers themselves as research target, carding and discussing towards various types of image, trying to unearth this special expressing channel, exploring how they build their images. With this article, I hope it will present their true feelings in that period of time when they step into big cities from small villages, from the agricultural civilization to the industrial civilization even the coming post- industrial civilization time. By presenting their true feeling, I also hope it will provide references to rebuild the image of "migrant workers" and to solve the "migrant workers" issues.This article focuses on the test analysis, theory of sociology, economy will be a support to analyze, to conclude, to sort towards migrant workers written by themselves. With the help of sociology and economy about china's reform and market economic construction movement, migrant workers'self-description are going through three stages:1984-1992 a unique writing troop standing out;1993-2000:to expand deeply and competing with the market; after 2000:stretching and development way back to literature. During that process, migrant workers'self-description are also going through 3 sections:from being apart to systematic; from edge to main stream; being spontaneous to conscious. By sorting those migrant workers'literature works born in that period, the images of migrant workers are divided into three parts:lonely catcher, humanity's twisted, fighter with destiny.Behind these images, the reason why they show up is that migrant workers'edge position under our nation's city and countryside dual system. Self-description by migrant workers represent their insufficient and difficulties in their writing. We couldn't pay little attention to the significance of their writing styles which actually are taken as their real feeling expressed. In these works, a great many lively, vivid, literary images are built up that make this unique groups -migrant workers raise up in literature, carry vital literary significance. As far as these images, we could possibly observe the migrant workers'real living and working life, reflecting spark of esne culture. Faced with unfair destiny, they have a voice to express their complain, assail but they are not desperate at all. Among those migrant workers, we can easily find chanters in spiritual journey as well as tough fighters with destiny. In their inner heart, they are pursuing their dreams to a delightful future. In the rough process of pursuing dreams in metropolis, they bear the weight of dreams at the same time. Those images also represent us a fairly different groups of migrant workers.It has been nearly 30 years since migrant workers'literary works come into being along with the development of reform and open up. That period of time was already turning to history, but I still feel honored to be involved in the research of that history. On the other hand, I have to concern about that with "migrant worker" issues to solve gradually, where is the migrant workers'literature heading to? Or how images in those works convert? Questions like that should be buried in our minds.
