From youth literature to pure literature,Zhang Yueran never gave up writing about "self".Whether it is the early record of cruelty and sadness in youth,or the inclusion of Major historical events and social issues in recent years,what Zhang Yueran cares about is not the story itself,but with the inner entanglement of"self"hidden behind the story and the subtle relationship between people.Zhang Yueran has always takes the "post-80s" as the narrative object to record the spiritual division and psychological change in the growth process of this generation,and to deal with the cruel and imaginary treatment of the trapped "self",reflecting a different kind of aesthetic Meaning.Many of Zhang Yueran's novels are about "escape".They either resist the bondage of the family,or resist the Monotonous and boring life of the school,or resist the secularized cultural concept.The individual's positioning of the self-character is very vague,and there is an anxiety of secular and ideal differentiation.Zhang Yueran gave different levels of display to the phenomenon of division and loss of the spirit of the subject:not only the candlelight of the youth's growth,but also the family education,human relations and social life in the promotion of the storyline,face.Faced with the spiritual suffering of civilization and the grand history,this "self"presents a shrinking phase.It is incapable of competing with society and history,and refuses to communicate with groups.Individuals feel unprecedented loneliness in the torrent of the times.In Zhang Yueran's text practice,the writer consciously abandoned the traditional narrative path,from diversified urban codes,three different narrative voices("nightmare" me,"polyphonic" me,"aphasia" me)and three aspects of the post-Modern narrative strategy,to dig deeper consciousness of the individual,to describe the personal experience that is suppressed and obscured by traditional ethics and Modern Mechanisms.The brutal narrative in the novel,the personal expression that has never been abandoned,and the dream writing are the result of the interaction between internal and external factors.Cruel writing stems from the writer's compensatory psychology.Through the venting and transfer of the inner"shadow",the Missing experience can be realized in literary imagination.With the help of the cultural industry,Zhang Yueran actively expresses himself in his works."Personalized writing" follows the inner experience and drives beyond the needs of the public.It seeks a kind of human care;the "dream" characteristics of dreams and fantasy in the works are actually based on the psychological experience of the writer.A representation of the thinking of a dream object.Zhang Yueran's novels describe the psychological experience of individuals or pains,or loss,or loneliness that are neglected and obscured under the changing times,revealing the psychological trauma that is common in the development of the times.In the face of the trapped "self",Zhang Yueran found two escaped exports-art and religious beliefs.Art provides a spiritual pillar for characters,and religious beliefs have the role of purifying the Mind.The inner root of this writing lies in the writer's deep experience of self-existence and its predicament.Whether it is the writing of painful love with early death,or the lonely and reluctant thinking of Middle-aged people after transformation,Zhang Yueran clearly expresses the voice of the generation of "I am for Myself."At the same time,Zhang Yueran's writing Makes people see that the seemingly thin "self" writing can also exude a seductive artistic charm after expanding the art space,emotional space and thinking space.
