陈纪滢、姜贵土地革命书写的真实性与艺术缺陷

The Authenticity and Artistic Defects of the Land Revolution Written by Chen Jiying and Jiang Gui

境外涉及中国内地土改的小说,除了张爱玲《秧歌》《赤地之恋》,以中国台湾陈纪滢《荻村传》和姜贵《旋风》最具代表性。陈纪滢和姜贵出生于农村,他们作品中以早年经历为素材的叙述显示出现实主义的艺术功力,但最后有关土改的部分因无生活基础和政治宣传动机主导,土改干部与积极分子形象均被流氓化,既违反了历史真实,也缺乏艺术真实性。优秀文学作品既要把握历史发展方向,又要揭示不同伦理力量之间冲突的悲剧性,关注不同类型个体生命的命运。要做到这一点,需要超越政治宣传动机,而对历史心存敬畏,对笔下不同类型人物心怀大悲悯。

In addition to Zhang Ailing's The Rice-Sprout Song:A Novel of Modern China and Naked Earth,the most representative of overseas novels involving the land reform in China's Mainland are Chen Jiying's(Taiwan,China)The Legend of Di Village and Jiang Gui's Whirlwind.Chen Jiying and Jiang Gui were born in rural areas.The narration based on their early experience in their works shows the artistic skill of realism.However,in the end,due to the lack of life experience and the dominance of political propaganda,the images of land reform cadres and activists have been written as hooligans,which violates the historical reality and lacks artistic authenticity.Excellent literary works should not only accurately grasp the direction of historical development,but also reveal the tragedy of the conflict between different ethical forces and pay attention to the fate of different types of individual lives.To do this,we need to go beyond the motivation of political propaganda,showing reverence for history and great compassion for different types of characters.
