The Beautify Of Miracle

Rising to prominence in 1940s as a writer of Isolated Island literary circles, Zhang Ailing touched upon predicament of personal life with her sensitive heart and careful writing style. She expressed her pessimism and disappointment about life by way of exposing the desolate, dark world and blue life of various kinds in semi-feudal and semi-colonial society. In subject matter, she eluded from sensitive reality and political field, technically created a boundless and illusory artistic mood. In this way, she illustrated her tragic life experience so as to further seek the profound significance existence of life in that unusual age.It*0*8s Zhang Ailing who blazed a now trail for Chinese modern literature to enter the readers in modern metropolis. She held that since May Fourth Movement, new cultural tradition had become an inalienable part of our national culture and penetrated the blood of our nation, bearing no treason. The bloodline of this culture can be reflected in western education that she received, profound experience that she held on human tragedy, and satirical but sympathetic attitudes that she had towards vicissitudes of life of insignificant people in such a great era. Zhang Ailing*0*8s contribution to the city novels in 1943 completely changed the situation of May Fourth literature being away from people in big cities. She successfully combined the fictitious folk scenes, such as degenerated feudal families, degraded noble women, the daily life of dishonest citizens whith the focus of traditional writers of new culture on human nature and her accurate understandings of morality in transitional periods, recreating the cream of the culture of modern cities.This essay illustrates Zhang Ailing*0*8s novel creation mainly in the following three aspects: the twisted human nature; the tale of two cities in the oriental world; the bight and different mystic form.
