Study On Children’s Growth Dilemma In Li Donghua’s Novel Creation

Growth dilemma is one of the important topics of children’s literature.As one of the representatives of the "fifth generation" children’s literature writers in China,Li Donghua’s continuous attention to the growth dilemma is an important feature of her creation.In her works,she describes the multiple dilemmas in the process of children’s growth.These dilemmas focus on family,campus and society.From family,campus to society,it is the only way for children to grow up to face and surpass the increasingly complex difficulties in these spaces.In Li Donghua’s works,family predicament mainly involves children’s pain and suffering due to the absence of their parents and the death of their close relatives;campus predicament mainly includes children’s educational pressure and anxiety in dealing with campus interpersonal relations;social predicament mainly refers to the multiple trauma brought by war and turmoil,and the mental confusion of children under the guidance of wrong values.The diverse and vivid writing of children’s growth dilemma in Li Donghua’s works is inseparable from her diligently seeking new and changing writing strategies.On the one hand,by capturing the mystery of teenagers’ psychology and insight into the delicate and complex human nature,and injecting them with her own rich life experience,Li Donghua has carried out a careful observation of the hearts of children in trouble.On the other hand,Li Donghua gives consideration to both overall situation and detailed description,using the "faint foreshadowing" structural skills to complete the vivid reproduction of the growth dilemma scene.In addition,as a children’s literature writer,Li Donghua has always adhered to the concept of children-oriented creation,using a poetic atmosphere to dilute the sadness of the predicament,and the lightness of the childlike innocence to dilute the weight of the predicament,so as to realize the overall grasp of the difficult writing from the inside out.The writing of children’s growth dilemma in Li Donghua’s works is of great value to the current situation of children’s lives and contemporary children’s literature creation.First of all,Li Donghua’s deep sense of care for growth has important practical significance.On the one hand,Li Donghua’s positive view of the current dilemma of children’s growth is a voice for children in the marginal area;on the other hand,Li Donghua’s persistent exploration of the possibility of breaking through the dilemma of children’s growth has important practical value.Secondly,as an influential researcher and critic of children’s literature,Li Donghua has always consciously implemented her own critical ideas in her writing.It can be said that Li Donghua regards conscious writing as a kind of implicit literary criticism,and observes the current children’s literature creation.In her works,there is not only a backlash against the excessive "entertainment" phenomenon of commercial children’s literature creation,but also,there are efforts to pursue the "infinite possibilities in simplicity" of children’s literature creation.However,it is undeniable that we should also notice that there is room for growth in Li Donghua’s writing of children’s growth dilemmas in terms of plot arrangement and character image shaping.Only in this way can we grasp the writing situation of children’s growth dilemma more objectively and comprehensively.
