Persistence·Reflection·Choice

Among all Chinese contemporary writers, Wang Meng is outstanding and unique in his style. He has an extraordinary achievement. His literary creation is productive and changeful. It has open visions, depth and strong artistic expression. All these deserve our profound reflection. Wang Meng has its own specialty. He was directly involved in the"isomorphism"of the new Chinese history and became the witness and participant of new Chinese history. His life experiences are very complicated, full of hardships and ups and downs .From early"youth Bolshevik"to a new author of the literary area, then to the Revolution"right-wing",Wang Meng was exiled to Xinjiang for 16 year during the Cultural Revolution. He resurfaced in 80s, but retreated to his literary creation later. He reassured himself to be a"Literature practitioner". Wang Meng's life development track is very special. Staring from Wang Meng's idealism and belief, the author investigates the complex changes of Wang Meng's idealism through times context and the text study. The historical narration of Wang Meng's literary creation is interwoven with the reality reflection, which cites the characteristic of Wang Meng's idealism changing. Affected by culture and historical choices, etc and going through the life hardships and time changes, Wang Meng was puzzled and deeply worried about the idealism. He made tough choice under the interwoven and collision of multiple cultures. He then gradually changed from a persistent and loyal realism to a rational and worldly empiricist. This is the common trust role of multiple complex contradictory factors .He spent his lifetime in pursuit of idealism, and then constantly reflected and rebelled against his idealism. He finally became"miserable idealist", which shows his growth, efforts, maturity and Metamorphosis. At last, He integrated multi-culture and formed his own tolerant and diverse cultural spirit quality. This paper consists of introduction, body part and conclusion part. The introduction mainly states Wang Meng's life experiences from the macroscopic perspective and stress the contents and methods this paper will study. The main part consists of four chapters. Chapter one investigates the cause of Wang Meng's idealism from his individual pursuits on the basis of the historical background. The invariance of this idealism pursuit in the initial stage of revolution is also analyzed and researched. Chapter two mainly studies the political disesteem of Wang Meng as an idealist. This special factor places a significant role in converting Wang Meng's ideal and belief. The loss of the intellectual's dreams then brings the banishment of their ideal. Chapter three mainly investigates the special historical opportunities in the new age of 80s.Wang Meng's reflection quality of ideal increasingly exposed in this period But 80s is the initial revolution era of Wang Meng's ideal. Chapter four mainly studies Wang Meng's reflection and rebellion to his ideal in the secularized 90s.It analysis the reason why he gradually changes from idealism to empiricism. This paper investigates the form of Wang Meng's composite culture psychology from the changes of historical and cultural context, thus deducing the complex evolution of his idealism. This paper will investigate the contradiction between history and reality through the research of his experience, thought and creation. What kind of dislocation influence dose this contradiction bring into Wang Meng's pursuit of idealism,which plays a very important role in his life, and how dose Wang Meng integrate this kind of dislocation. Whether can we open some important dimension and side in Wang Meng's creation world by the research and analysis of this phenomenon, and then look at this phenomenon from much wider history horizon, This is the question that has to be resolved in this paper.
