As one of China's science fiction giants,Han Song has devoted himself to sci-fi creation for many years.He always adheres to his unique writing principles and develops an obscure language full of critical and analytical thoughts.With serious thinking of intellectuals,Han Song focuses on the process of China's modernization and transformation and the living conditions of "modern people" before he writes scifi fables exclusively for China in a pioneering manner.His works are controversial because of his obscure and elusive language,broken and distorted imageries,and chaotic and unclear characters.Based on the controversial core elements of "heterogeneity" and "absurdity" in his works,the paper makes a comprehensive analysis of his creations in order to open up a new interpretation space for the study of Han Song's works.The Introduction briefly presents Han Song's life and writing and goes over the current research of the topics selected.Then it explains the literary connotation of "heterogeneity" and "absurdity" in order to illustrate the uniqueness and nonreplicability of Han Song's creation and to indicate the research value of the paper.The first chapter follows the lead of the extreme "alienation" of human nature in Han Song's works,selects three alienation stages described by Han Song,analyzes the strong realistic orientation in his novels,and discusses the relationship between the individual and power,and self and reality.The chapter also points out the philosophy of "habitual alienation" in Han Song's works and discusses Han Song's unique thinking on "alienation".The second chapter takes "absurdity" and "space" as key words to analyze the triple spatial imagination in Han Song's novels and discuss Han Song's concerns and reflection on China's modernization.In the text,Han Song created unique spatial patterns of "transport space","Sino-topia" and "confined universe".From the transformation and reconstruction of the space of daily life,to irony and rebuilding of Utopia motif,to reflection and questioning of the ultimate meaning of the existence of the universe,Han Song combines reality and surrealism to deconstruct Chinese society under the background of technology.The third chapter focuses on "modernity" and observes how the writer discusses the relationship between the future,reality and tradition from the perspective of modernity in the way of reverse order of time and space.Through disenchantment and criticism of technology,rethinking of the May 4th enlightenment theme and Lu Xun's spiritual heritage,and identification and subversion of traditional culture,Han Song reflected on the role that sci-fi plays in the history and future in the context of technological era.Chinese sci-fi writers have emerged in the new century,reconstructing their dialogues and thinking with the world through different sci-fi texts.The conclusion summarizes the uniqueness of Han Song's elite sci-fi thinking in Chinese literature landscape,and points out the unique significance and neglected value of Han Song's works in contemporary literature.
