| The image of young intellectuals in Wild Gourd is the focus of Zong Pu’s artistic expression.Zong Pu shows the formation of Chinese modern national concept and the historical process of the initial establishment of modern national state by writing the growth course of young intellectuals from childish to mature in the four space of“Nandu ”,“Dongcang ”,“Xicang” and “Beigui ”.The growth of young intellectuals can be divided into three stages: initial growth,crisis response and towards maturity in Wild Gourd.The young intellectuals,who lived in Peiping after the “ July 7 Incident ”,had a psychological crisis under the influence of social unrest and great changes in their lives.At the same time,under the action of collective psychology of the Anti-Japanese War,the life,behavior and value judgment of the young intellectuals have traces of the consciousness of the Anti-Japanese War.They choose toturn to three different growth paths: “cultural type”,“social type ”and “knowledge type” respectively.During this period,the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War made the consciousness of “nation-state” begin to awaken generally among the Chinese people,especially the intellectuals.In“Dongcang Ji”and “Xi Zheng Ji ”,the Anti-Japanese War entered a phase of stalemate,national liberation is the common wish of young intellectuals under the above three growth paths.In the face of the crisis of growth,the young intellectuals take the initiative to deal with it,or to join the army,or to pursue the revolution,and consciously invest in the flood of the whole people’s War of Resistance against Japan.In the face of frequent bombing and possible physical crisis at any time,young intellectuals take the way of space escape to resist the shackles and oppression of the body,and try to reconstruct the identity of self-identity.The young intellectuals who choose to go to the revolutionary road ups and downs in the contradiction between love and belief,and finally strengthen the revolutionary belief.During this period,the determination of the Chinese nation to win the Anti-Japanese War shows the high unity of the concept of modern nation-state.After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War,the domestic class contradiction rose to the principal contradiction.The outbreak of civil war and the upsurge of democratic movement in the book of north return triggered the young intellectuals’ thinking about the choice of the ruling party and what kind of country to build.However,the sequel of “Beigui Ji”,the author shows how the young intellectuals re-positioned themselves during the ideological reform movement and the Revolution.The deep thinking of the young intellectuals is the symbol of their progress from childish to mature.At the same time,their growth process also shows the construction process of modern Chinese nation-state.From the beginning of the War of Resistance to the end of the Cultural Revolution,the growth of the individual in Wild Gourd is closely connected with the fate of the nation-state,showing a path of the formation of the modern nation-state.Among them,the autonomy of individual growth promotes the development of modern national concept,and it is of great significance to play the role of individual subjectivity.Looking back at “Hong Dou”,Zong Pu has changed his understanding of the relationship between the individual and the nation of the young intellectuals. |
