Ba Jin and Zhang Wei are committed to writing ’ youth away ’ novels.Ba Jin ’ s ’home ’ and other novels tell the process of revolutionary youth leaving home and participating in the revolution.Zhang Wei ’ s ’ family ’ and other novels re-examine the departure of fathers from the perspective of children,and tell the departure of a new generation of youth.There is a spiritual inheritance and change between the two.Ba Jin ’s " youth departure " is closely related to China ’ s social change and the process of national liberation.The youth consciously break up with the feudal family,integrate the individual ’ s " ego " into the society,and achieve self-identity in the revolutionary experience;in Zhang Wei ’ s works,this collective ’ great self ’ consciousness gradually dissipates,instead of

the transformation of Chinese novels from traditional to modern.From the perspective of writers,the changes in the relationship between youth and society in different times show the changes in the status and responsibilities of intellectuals.From the perspective of literary trends,from Ba Jin to Zhang Wei,the writing of ’ youth departure ’ has changed from focusing on the history of the country
