Since the 1990s, the novel focuses on the creation of Jia. The thesis of this period in his creation of "Abandoned," "White Nights", "Tumen", "Gao Village", "Qin Opera", "happy" and six representative novels based on them Tragedy Contained start analysis. Selection shift between these works between urban and rural areas, both on the life of the individual personality of the context of globalization construct, changes in thoughts and deep concern for the fate of struggling, but also on the social transformation brought about by the deepening confrontation between urban and rural areas, environmental degradation, etc. major issues of deep thinking. In these works, the author does not make any fundamental political or moral teachings, but almost every invasion of his works are unique thinking, from which we can deeply feel the compassion of his strong feelings - both for the individual life society as a whole is urban or rural areas, their works are thus have a strong Tragedy.Concerned about the rural reality, depicts the image of the peasants has been the focus of Jia Ping-wa literature. But after the 1990s, the theme of rural areas with the previous works of fiction have a significantly different, these works more from the human perspective, more attention to the lives of the individual status of the peasants and the rural future and destiny. In their cities during the cultural and moral criticism of the novel when people write about is always full of human care, through the portrayal of urban intellectuals, living conditions, showing the economic tide of intellectual values of the distortion as well as intellectuals in the end of the century diligently search for the reconstruction of culture and personality. In the urban-rural relations, Xu Xie, Jia Pingwa values also fell into position on the conflict. City and Township in the face of choice, Jia Pingwa yearn for is a way to make the two forms of civilization harmony and coexistence. But in the end could be achieved in what way, what form? Writers also confusion. These works have shaped the image of a large number of tragedies, they engaged in between the traditional and the modern hard choices. In this process, some of them have found their own cultural coordinates, but in the realization of their own values in the process have been destroyed by some unknown force; There is also some people due to the lack of strong spiritual pursuit but lost its way into more major depression and confusion, and self-redemption efforts might finally be the real life of a disorderly unwinding of individual life, or face only are willing to sink again, the spirit of choice.Jia Pingwa's tragedies are often based on questions and to seek an end, has always been permeated with a profound sense of destiny. In dealing with a work, the Jia Pingwa less sharp as the West adopted as the tragedy of conflict and fierce resistance hero to move the reader, but mainly in order to diffuse outward from the inside out feelings and emotions to infect the reader, in the aesthetic experience, while in zone obviously passive sustainability, in the concern about the fate of the characters in the distillation of a serious and conscious Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ. But the tragedy of Jia Pingwa's tragic view of the traditional Chinese view of another are essentially different. The tragedy of his novels are always left to the reader a silent ending, in the character's pain and misfortune in the show a noble spirit of resistance, though this would hardly give the reader in order to meet the emotional sustenance, but equally be able to give the soul cleanse and spiritual enlightenment.Jia Pingwa described themselves on the contemporary life of the traditional and modern cultural context of conflict, standing on the background of great changes in human culture up contemplation, perspective historical reality, his restless soul moments in history and reality, traditional and modern Wandering between, from the unique Chinese culture to make the difficult predicament of cultural choices and reflect on a concentrated expression of his ultimate meaning of life and social pursuit. From the point of view of the tragic consciousness Jia Pingwa's literary construction of the spirit of personality is not difficult to discover that he is constantly confused in the search for the self-reflection of human life and existence value and meaning, to stand for the main spiritual transcendence.
