20世纪90年代中国农村题材新现实主义小说论

On the Neo-realistic Novels about the Rural Subjects of China in 1990s

20世纪90年代的中国农村题材新现实主义小说由于在叙事精神和对生活的观照视角上对传统现实主义的超越,鲜明深刻地展示出中国当代农民新的精神特质:他们试图摆脱传统文化重负,改变自己身上陈陈相因的历史隋性,却又不能不面对新的利益关系对他们的挤压而作出事与愿违的选择。这种既顽强抗争而又处于痛苦之中的精神状态,反映了当下中国农村面临的新的矛盾和中国农民灵魂新的嬗变轨迹,从而把农村题材的小说创作提升到一个新的高度。

Due to the transcendence of traditional realism from the angle of relating spirit and keeping an eye on life, the neo-realistic novels about the rural subjects of China in 1990s show brightly the new spiritual qualities of the contemporary farmers in China: they try to get rid of the heavy traditional and cultural burden, change the historical laziness inherited from older generations, but have to face the choices they made contrary to their wishes due to the extrusion to them by the new beneficial relationship. Such spiritual state as both determined opposition and agony reveals the new contradictions they are confronting in the countryside of China and the new changing track of the soul of Chinese farmers so as to elevate the novel composition about rural subjects to a new height.
