In Li Er’s novels represented by Inside Man,the large amount of knowledge has become the most obvious narrative representation and iconic personal rhetoric.Instead of simply piling up and listing,in most cases,knowledge does assume a specific narrative function,and completes the higher-dimensional construction of the fictional world with its own profound meaning.What is more unique is that Li Er establishes a subtle connection between knowledge and reality that is both fused and alienated,and generates a unique narrative technique.In Li Er’s novels,knowledge often does not point to clear cognition.In the process of disassembling and refuting different knowledge,Li Er repeatedly emphasized the important discovery that the complexity of the world far exceeds our cognition.And then Li Er faithfully presents the confusion and ambiguity of life,as well as the infinitely delayed mediocrity.At the same time,Li Er also presents the infinite possibilities of reality itself.On the one hand,Li Er used knowledge to construct the rich cultural atmosphere of the novel.He took knowledge as details and laid a solid and complex material foundation in the novel.At the same time,knowledge plays the role of advancing the plot in the narrative structure,spreading the narrative clues of novels,and at the same time linking up the clues scattered throughout the novel.At the same time,this kind of imitation of cultural structure does not mean simple copying and stacking of knowledge.In the fully-lived knowledge scene and personal knowledge application,it contains Li Er’s scrutiny and ambiguous attitude towards cultural structure.On the other hand,through irony rhetoric,the novel focuses on presenting the helpless fate of knowledge that has failed in daily life,showing the situation where knowledge has loss it’s ideals and value.Li Er’s reflection on knowledge has become more and more profound with the accumulation of time and the deepening of the inquiries: from expressing the contradiction between knowledge and closed daily life,to expressing the helplessness of knowledge in a broad social field;from discovering the failure of knowledge to asking whether knowledge was really effective.The rhetoric of knowledge thus reflects the deep-seated confusion and anxiety of contemporary people,and truly touches the faintness and incomprehensibility of contemporary people’s spiritual predicament.The tension between the two guides to Li Er’s thinking on how could knowledge be matter,and then further leads to the cultural ideals implied in the text.On the question of how could knowledge be transitory,Li Er agrees with these two concepts,one is skepticism,and the other is concerned with real life.From these two perspectives,he has launched an in-depth reflection on enlightenment in the novel.After thinking about the question that how could knowledge have an impact on people,Li Er formed the idea of building an emotional community of knowledge.Finally,it comes down to the question of how knowledge shapes oneself,Li Er put forward the idealized thirdxelf imagination.This is also an important feature of knowledge narration.Knowledge connects novels with the rich history of thought.In the collision of knowledge,it is possible to obtain new knowledge and generate thoughts that belong to the novel.In the final analysis,the narrative purpose of the novel still has to return to human being,knowledge is generated by human being,and in the meanwhile,thoughts must eventually be implemented in the spiritual life of specific person.Li Er uses a large number of different kinds of knowledge,intends to complete the novel ideal of spiritual concern for each specific person and equality of all beings.
