Xu Zechen started writing from 1997.He has published five short story collections and four novels wining several literary awards.Some of his works also spread overseas.He was praised as "the glory in the 1970's chinese writer",and his works were marked as "highest level of soul and vision in youth ".There are three kinds of themed novels which are most commended,"Jing Jing","Hometown" and"mystery" series.After the book "Running through Zhongguancun " published,his work became the representative of two themed novels,"Beijing Drift novel" and "the bottom of the literature " respectively.Then he became the highly recognizable writer for the generation of 1970s.However,this is not a good thing for Xu Zechen.Although his novels involving "Beijing Drift",it is unfair to define him as a Beijing Drift writer,Xu Zechen's novels are not only related to the social hot spots.Under the detailed presentation of trivial life,it became the most transcendental and dialectical theme of run-away with the writer's thoughts."Oh,Beijing "is the representative of Xu Zechen's early works.It expresses the naive poetic imaginations of Beijing,diluting the bitter reality blindly and optimistically.For the novel "Run through Zhongguancun",Dunhuang begin to question the status,and the optimal life ideal cracks under the impact of the reality." We met in Beijing" and "Face down" expresses the broken dreams for dream chaser.The " Night trains" deepens the difficulties of self-realization from vacant identity.In the masterialistic moment,there are desire discourses in the process of self-seeking,mind restless inside the inherent system,difficult living environment after run-away and the endless conflict between individuals and modernization which condensed in the "run-away"theme.Therefore,we interpret the consciousness in the processes of run-away and return based on Xu Zechen's novels in the first chapter.For the purpose of self-seeking,free from inner diseases,breaking through parent culture,the characters in the novel left homeland into cities.However,there are still difficulties in life.Therefore,coming back or not become anther problem that needs to be addressed.What the author problem that needs to be addressed.What the author wanted to express is you need to come back both physically and spiritually to calm down.The second chapter analyzes Xu Zechen's writing characteristics from the technical level.With the existence of personal pessimistic idealist in writing,there are idealistic passion and pessimistic mood after confliction with reality in the process of"run-away".In addition,the difficulty and complexity for China urbanization with a rapid increase of economy and the gain,embarrassment for individuals.The third chapter explains the significance and value of theme of run-away in Xu Zechen's novel.After encountering the modern survarium for "run-away" individual,personal identity and self-cognition are divorced on the basis of living base and culture,causing significant difficulty in living.Whereas,the behavior of coming back actually break through the current chaos life with reconstructing cultural identity,highlighting the power of walking as a consequence.Different with straightforward disclosure of kindness,warmth and tender feelings,Xu Zechen's novels tend to solve what is good in real life,trying to release people and provide mentally peace in the solving process.Inside the expressions,the writer concern and love each run-away individuals equally with kindness.Xu Zechen's novels show psychic concern and the impressive power of contemporary heroes.
