| Chen Yingsong was fond of the rural world,and his connection with Shennongjia was related to his love for the countryside since childhood.After working in Shennongjia in 2000,he began to write Shennongjia series novels,and successively published 29 short and medium novels and three novels,creating a new literary world for us,and at the same time making him highly concerned in the literary world.He took root in the bottom society,always maintained an alienated attitude towards the grand narrative,and focused his attention on the small people who were deeply trapped in the predicament.With his highly personalized language,unique narrative style and love and persistence of literature,he presented us with a real and almost cruel rural world.Chen Yingsong ’s writing of the world of Shennongjia is with his own literary ideals and pursuits.He has always been based on the bottom to speak for the aphasia.The text touches the hidden pain in the hearts of the rural people.In addition to the description of the real world,he also tries to reshape modern ethics and morality,looking for an ideal spiritual home for people.In him,we can see the conscience of intellectuals.He pays attention to the decaying and troubled rural world,writes about the remote areas lagging behind the times in the process of modernization,reveals the alarming poverty situation,and also has deep sympathy for the rural world squeezed in the interaction between urban and rural areas.He criticizes the value orientation of urban interests and calls for ideal morality and humanity.Chen Yingsong ’s novels have created many representative rural characters,which are closely related to his personal experience and creative view.In his works,there are images of rural women who are suppressed by traditional feudal customs and male authority,as well as women with awakening consciousness who are angry and rebellious under multiple squeezes,as well as many rural grassroots cadres holding power and marginal figures excluded from the center.Chen Yingsong deeply explores the characteristics embodied in these characters and observes the rural humanity.The reason why the Shennongjia series of novels have caused a great sensation in the literary world is that in addition to its distinctive writing objects,it is also related to Chen Yingsong ’s unique narrative strategy.The strong regional characteristics in his novels are Chen Yingsong’s deliberate intention.He uses local language to shape characters and express local customs.At the same time,he integrates poetic language and philosophical discourse to make his novels show the temperament of both refined and popular tastes.The choice of another animal perspective brings defamiliarization effect to the novel.The use of various personal ways not only broadens the aesthetic space of the work but also increases the reading value.In addition,the use of modernism and realism and other creative techniques not only makes the novel show a mysterious and absurd color,but also shows the realistic background he always adheres to. |
