Nirvana In The Labor Pains

At the beginning of the new time, intellectuals restored the social spokesman's status. By outstanding person's posture, they participate in the social reform, show their own value. However, in the social transition period, with the deepening of market economy development and social value multiplication, intellectuals are in an embarrassing position. Intellectuals were to pull down from the altar and the times intellectuals as social spokesman has passed. Facing the benefit and the desire, they struggle, linger, and reconsider.In all intellectual theme novels, I discovered that the Yan Zhen'works most initiate my ponder. He created three successively works, "Once in Horizon", "Green Water", and"Because of Woman". These three works grasped the pulse of the times and the historical characteristics, had reflected intellectuals'perseverance, oscillation, struggle, and the reconsideration. This paper is mainly about the three works. Through the three works' text explanations; I will elaborate intellectuals consciousness in Yan Zhen's novels.The Yan Zhen'novels had reflected intellectuals'change from persevere the belief loyally to pace back and forth, from pace back and forth to thoroughly degenerate. And it also reflected the traditional intellectuals on the verge of death in the consumer era. Have intellectuals really"died"? I believe that the conscience of the community is the"soul"of intellectuals; the"soul"can not be lost and will not be lost by intellectuals. In order to achieve breakthrough, first of all, intellectuals should locate themselves correctly. They should be the community's "eyes" and not the "conductor"."Only to defend the autonomy of knowledge will it be possible to start from the autonomy, involvement in public life, become public intellectuals."In other words, you should first become a "knowledge person", and then become a "moral person", in this way you can be reborn.
