This text is originally from the Cultural Revolution narrations of the writers born in the 1960's, it adopts the criticism tactics of reading the text in detail and combines narrative theory, psychology, sociology, science of culture. It explains the characteristic of the Culture Revolution narrations of this generation from children's visual angle, daily narration, narrative style three angles.The full text is divided into three parts totally:The first part, all memories about the Culture Revolu- tion of the writers who were born in the 60's come from childhood, children's visual angle will become the way which they narrate the Culture Revolution naturally, the writers of the generation have scanned doubly through children's visual angle.Section one ,scan adult's world(â… ). The misplacing of children's psychology and the times. The children's experience world is na?ve and really simple because of age, deficient knowledge, superficial social experience, we find the lofty, sacred thing in adult's world become absurd, unfounded, even heaviness and sad become relaxedthrough ignorant children's eyes. We can expose adult's world false " true " with special perception of children. They attempt to express the satire to the times bydeviation that thechildren understand.(â…¡).Deconstruting former generation's authority. Fathers as the represen- tatives of adults'world have been stripped sacred aure- ola of" victim "on politics under the scanning of children's eyes, he is no longer authoritative symbol. Fathers'igno- rance, swindling, greedy, spruriency, cruel and all sorts of ugliness bring deeply psychological pressure to offspring , and the offspring take extreme manner to murder fathers. The scanning, criticism to fathers are closely related to the state of mind among the writers of the generation, the lose of faith makes suspicion become their regular thinking , the suspicion idea makes them be unable to bear fathers'depression, so it's inevitable to murder fathers.Section two, children's self- scanningAt the Culture Revolution age, the deformity of the social politics makes them be unable to accept modern civilization and education normally, the former generation's ugliness, violence, they can't give offspring the guide and care. Children who grew up in the kind of environment are instinctly crazy about the violence, the teenager, blood, youth impulse and the death interweave together. And, because of the all-pervasive infiltration about Left ideology of the Culture Revolution, the children are influenced by it unavoidably too, all sorts of their behaviors are branded in times. In fact, these writers attempt to achieve the goal of criticizing the Culture Revolution by children's self-scanning.The second part, under historical circumstances of abnormality, these writers are based on daily narration.Section one, the other style of scar is written(â… ). The suffering of the small potatoes. These writers pay close attention to the existence predicament of the small potatoes with strong pitiful feelings, they depict the pain of existence and alienation of human nature, The pain about the alienation of human nature includes two aspects: first, it announces the distortion by the times, and then criticize the political culture of that times; second, people lose themselves because of chasing the desire.(â…¡). The self- introspection and bearing. The small potatoes are indomitable and have a kind of strong holding capacity in the face of the suffering, also, bearing suffering lies in inherent self- introspection. These writers make great efforts to look for hurt factors from victims, introduce individual liability in the suffering that history causes, and move towards introspection and trial of a certain soul at the same time, thus it will relax the antithesis between people and history.Section two, construct daily history(â… ).Desalinize the historical background of the Culture Revolution. In Cultural Revolution narrations of the writers, Cultural Revolution as a concrete historical space-time is desalinized a kind of background. The desalinization adopts two ways: first, blurring historical time, second, breaking up the history into pieces. The desalinization makes Cultural Revolution narrations of the writers get rid of the nest of mighty narration, and also subvert classical narration of revolution under the control of main ideology. (â…¡). Show daily life especially. The purpose of desalinizing historical background is to show daily life especially. In the history circumstances of "extraordinary state ", these writers make great efforts to excavate the daily life of "constant state", they adopt detail way to narrate the trivial bits, commonplace of daily life.The third part, In view of narrative style, the narrative style of the writers who pursue writing of " individualizing " is in pluralism, but on the whole, there are roughly two kinds of narrative styles, persiflaging and fable writing. Compared with orthodox realism, these two kinds of narrative styles undoubtedly belong to the style of the marginalization.Section one, persiflagingly criticize(â… ). Build the comedy situation. These writers are good at building the comedy situation: first, represent the comedy scene based on square, persiflage the " revolution " behavior, the tension between the seriousness of revolution purpose and the funny of " revolution "form reflects the comedy result; second, describe people's awkward in the relation, persiflage educated youth's life, and it will subvert educated youth narration in the past.(â…¡). Words space persiflaged. The writers born in the sixties represent not merely vulgar scene and things with lofty, sacred political words, the distinct contrast causes the misplacing of languages and linguistic context, it has reached the strong irony result while making someone laugh; And mix political words, folk adage, famous poem and well-known phrase etc together, imitate dramatically great man's quotation, poem etc in order to form the revelry of the language. They attempt to make fun of the times in order to achieve the goal of criticizing through persiflaging those words rich in times.Section two, Fable writing(â… ). The express in metaphor. They develop the function of imagination fully ,set up the metaphor structure in the text, adopt the fantastic tactics and distortion to build the world imagined, They attempt to metaphor realistic space with fictitious space, the strong contrast between two pace makes enormous tension.More- over,they have also had a large number of metaphors in the detail of the text, and they make the text have deeper connotation and intension. (â…¡).The subject image of concept. The perso- nages in their works are mostly the derivation of a certain idea, personages image are briefly, it embodies their writing intention that complexity is written in simplification and the child is father of the man; on the other hand, the image of concept has caused the cavity of the subject personality too.Their works offered the new narration rule about narrating Culture Revolution for contemporary literary world, and also open up the new thinking for reviewing the Culture Revolution. the writers born in the1960's will have any innovation on narrating the Culture Revolution, all of us wait to see.
