The Representation And Reconstruction Of Childhood Experience

As a generation experiencing the "Cultural Revolution",writers born in the 1960 s gave their generation unique experience and aesthetic perception of the "Cultural Revolution" from the perspective of bystanders in their childhood.Their writing of "Cultural Revolution" breaks the stereotype and stereotype tendency of previous novels and enriches the collective memory of "cultural revolution" of "father and brother" generation.Compared with "the Right" and educated youth writers,writers born in the 1960 s lack some common feelings and historical consensus about the "Cultural Revolution".The overlap between the history of "Cultural Revolution" and the period of personal growth makes the "Cultural Revolution" written by writers born in the 1960 s rare to see such a grand writing of history as the "father and brother" generation.Their novels show the daily life and personality of individual life experience in the period of "Cultural Revolution".They focus on the abnormal changes of individual life forms and the distortion of human nature in the course of history.During the "Cultural Revolution",the chaotic and turbulent growing environment and the "red" culture in daily life became the "childhood complex" that they could not give up in their memory.Their memories of the "Cultural Revolution" are no longer clear,but the fear and pain they felt growing up in the 1960 s are still clear,which is exactly the symptom of the era embodied in the writers born in the 1960 s.They use the words of youth to write about the confusion,trauma and pain in their growth process,and re-present their childhood and youth in the form of fiction.The young characters they created are full of autobiographical color,pure and complex,bright and dark,innocent and evil coexist,which has become one of the most vivid,and aesthetic characters in their works.Hidden in their lives are the most universal human emotional experiences: love and hate,crime and punishment,freedom and imprisonment,friendship and betrayal.In the dialogue with the childhood "me",the writer re-examines himself and expresses self-reflection.The limitation of the experience of "Cultural Revolution" in childhood and the knowledge accomplishment of modern literary theory made the writers born in the 1960 s have a conscious sense of rebellion against the traditional realism when they narrate "cultural revolution".Their writing of "Cultural evolution" novels expresses their generation's attitude of assuming social responsibility and reflecting on history.The cultural edification of Chinese classical literature and western modern literature theory and the relatively systematic cultural education gave the writers born in the 1960 s the diversity and richness of their literary creation methods.The perspective of children's narration became the exploration of the narrative strategies of "cultural revolution" by writers born in the 1960 s.The characteristics of innocent and imaginative children,the unique aesthetic perception and emotional tendency,the use of exaggeration,distortion,absurdity,fable and other techniques,the integration of reality and imagination,all these characteristics make the "Cultural Revolution" written by writers in the 1960 s gradually deviate from the traditional realistic and present a lightsome and poetic aesthetic feeling.
