The Construction And Loss Of The Inner World

The works by Wang Anyi have remained popular for over twenty years and still enjoy a good fame. Her works have always kept in accordance with the contemporary literary trends and even gone beyond the trends and thus present unique characteristics. To make an overall study on Wang Anyi' s creation will help to hold the vein of the contemporary literary world, and to explore the existing significance of the contemporary literature in such a difficult reality. Considering the great variety of Wang Anyi's works, it is hard to make a comprehensive research on her works. Starting from an analysis of the women figures in Wang's novels, and with the help of decoding concrete texts and characters, the author of this paper ties to explore how her women figures construct and lost in their inner world , so as to get a general understanding of the writer's creation.Adopting a sociological research method and critique perspective of feminism, this paper explores the advantages and disadvantages in Wang Anyi's novel writing by analyzing the inner world of the women characters of the novels . The women characters in Wang Anyi's novels try to present their own subjectivity in sexual love, but only to find that they fall into an awkward situation; they pursue independence of inner world in the spiritual love, but go astray in a degree during the process of construction, and their contribution and sacrifice for love and marriage puts them into a state of loss and helplessness. The solitary growing-up of women becomes a shadow of their inner world, while the effort taken to change their fate is the light of their inner world. Therefore, the construction and loss in the women characters' inner world are both closely connected with the writer's own creation notion and individuality. By analyzing the women figures in Wang Anyi's works and exploring the elements influencing the writer's creation, the author of this paper finds out that Wang can be regarded as a great master at the aspect of writing techniques, but her portray of women figures, which reflects her creation notion, remains imperfect or even incompetent. Due to the conflicting thoughts of the writer, the women figures, on the one hand, are endowed with the ability to survive hardness and gain independent life, but on the other hand, they seem to greatly depend on men psychologically and in the aspects of realistic material life. Therefore, their inner world is a contradiction of modern thoughts and conventional notions.The key task in Wang Anyi's creation is how to deal with the combination of sense and sensibility, and how to solve the problem of justifying herself too much due to the adoption of expertise writing techniques. As long as she succeeds in surpassing herself, Wang Anyi will make further achievements and become a real great master. In such an age when too much consumption keeps attacking people's daily life as well as spiritual life, it is estimable of Wang's construction of women's inner world, although there is loss in company. The fact that she has always been refusing vulgar literature and possesses her own group of readers shows that contemporary literature can maintain its independent value and survive in this society. Further more, to uphold the construction of spiritual world should always be one of the essential features of literature, and thus the study on the creation of Wang Anyi is of realistic significance.
