Absurdity Exposed And Hope Is Born

This writing attempts to explain Ms Su Yu's work of absurdity genre and how Western existentialism and absurdity literature is employed as a creation theory and a source of writing techniques, combined with Albert Camus's existentialistic anti-absurdity attitude, in presenting the theme of absurdity on a philosophic level, in revealing the absurdity of human existence and reality, in reflecting the modern human absurdity, in depicting the agonies and meaningless of life as well as the human complex of loneliness and anxiety, and alienation of human nature. Su Yu's work exhibits a thematic shift from aesthetic judgment to the judgment of unaesthetic, with a constant focus, whether "judgment of the un-aesthetic " , " exposure " or " rebellion " as depicted in her work, are all. the author's pursuit of aesthetic beauty, which implies deep down beneath the surface of the work, with awareness of the absurdity of the reality and the spiritual agonies, the reconstruction of human spiritual realm and re-attainment, through "imagination", of the return to pure human nature survival ideal.Su Yu's creation, drawing on the Western modernism, more than merely a copy version in Chinese, is an integral blending with Chinese creation, by means of selective employment of the Modernist's theories and techniques. This, accomplished in her work, with fictitious stories of truth( non-conventional realism ), decomposition, hyperbole , Kafka's cold narration, distinct characterization of traditional Chinese literature, clear plot, smooth and beautiful language, very well illustrates the experiment andexploration that a number of modern Chinese writers have been making in " vernacularizing modernism " and "writing Chinese with non-vernacular techniques".
