In traditional literature, love is a very rich colors and romantic ideals,and is considered the most holy of human emotions; the theme of love so often is pushed to the eternal theme of literature and art. In contrast,the representative writer of the New Realistic Novel, Chi li always stick to keynote of"secular tendencies,"in her works of love and marriage novel, clear up loftiness idealism advocated by literary works since the Movement of May fourth. In a series of her realistic novel, the depth of art was eliminated,the height of was flatten,no room for loftiness, no hero, no moral preaching, no ideal,it just calmly narrated the ordinary life of folks,which really reflect common love of folks after loftiness exited.In this paper, the figures in Chili's novel of love and marriage are scanned by Maslow's foresight of the demand hierarchy theory, based on the needs of different levels and the pursuit under their living conditions, which are broadly divided into three categories: First, in order to survive and not to talk about the need for love; Second, security needs in order to maintain the marriage status; Third, in order to achieve the needs of self-worth had to give up love. We can see Chili how to think of the survival from the analysis of her representative works: the economy is a basic necessary condition for survival; love should belong to the range of appendant of the economy, but the current survival state of people has not yet reached that extent of"Spiritual civilization". For the secular life, the so-called founders of love has been wrapped by the invisible survival web, in times of hardship,they first thing to consider is the survival value of reality. So the love of her works always is marked with a deep sense of utilitarian, or an indelible love by life trivial. She pushed the secular love to the extreme, ultimately, reveals the spiritual essence of the emptiness love.Taking the works of"Not Talking about Love"and"You are a River"or Stream as examples, The first part of the article analyses the love of the figures in Chili's works under the survival needs of love, that is: it is difficult to get a comfortable life in the society of full of desire and competitiveness,so even if the scheme with point of love is normal. For the utilitarian nature of love,Chili did not deny and criticize it. In her point, everyone has its own ideal of life, in the last resort, used only for the cost of their own feelings for a civilized and elegant life, even if"Not Talking about Love"is still a purpose. Reality in this society, called strong man who have the ability to live and live a good, so-called ideal of life, good feelings, elegant taste, everything is based on the existing. People can scarify a lot of things in order to survive, such as the ideal of love and even traditional morality. Chili has been torn some of the sacred aperture of the literature,but also tear herself ideals in her heart.The second part of the article primarily taking"Green Flows", and"life problems"as examples,analyze the love of the figures of her works under security situation : romantic love once again into the marriage, its essence of the meaning will reduce gradually or even remove by trivial, busy, dull, honed under the trouble of reality. Chili set up family marriage in the social order, it faces secular marriage also means that ideal love routs, reflects the insurmountable gap between the love and marriage. But even if the heroine were not satisfied with the marriage, they also choose to maintain it,prefer to chose"satisfied the current survival concept,to comfort self with"less than above more than under". The real life is a cold-blooded and cruel,and the number of romantic ideals and dreams are lost under difficult survival states,people can only accept the mockery of fate,had to learn to adapt to the environment in mind and give up the ideals of the so-called unrealistic,so we are no longer have high-distraction and Know the immensity heaven and earth.Taking"Fairview Beach"and"Who do you think you are"as examples, the third part of the article analyze the love of the figures of her works under the need of realization of self-worth: with changes in living conditions,people always have a never-ending desire to improve their living conditions,and the ability to meet their own desires and external conditions is always behind the rate of expansion of their own desire, between desire and satisfaction,it always exist a huge distance, and never difficult to even out,which produces irreconcilable contradiction in the needs of emotional and survival, then for the choice of a person, what is most important and what is the most driving force in her(him) mind. The result shows that more people can not help lamenting the cruelty of the tremendous pressure of survival which is so thoroughly torn the veil of the myth of the love and let people see the essence of unreal love.Sum up above,we can conclude that: Chili has been out of exile of love sitting in the altar,reduced to the level of survival needs of ordinary people, let us clearly see the different levels of people at different living conditions due to different levels of desire,and the changes in attitude to love and marriage: the survival needs,security needs, and the needs of emotional attribution,the needs of respect and the needs of self-realization. In accordance with the unconscious instinct needs of Maslow hierarchy, survival needs are priority. Love is fantasy if no survival foundation and only survival is the reality. When we can no longer need to worry about survival and have a great rich economy base,the perfect love is available to exist. It is not that we do not need love,on the contrary,we have been diligently pursuing it, and has never given up, only because we do not have concrete economy basis, or else how could so many people hurt by love? At all times, it is only because the needs of basic survival and make people lost their love.
