不同生命欲求之间的冲突——重读《寒夜》

The Conflict Between Different Desires of Life(Re-read The Cold Night)

《寒夜》的内涵丰富复杂,超越了社会制度批判层面。它让“五四”以来的个性话语与人道话语平等对话,让不同价值观念为各自的合理性进行辩解,又对其各自的局限性予以展示。曾树生与丈夫及婆婆之间的矛盾,实质是不同生命欲求之间的冲突。叶绍钧开创的普通人日常生存状态小说,至《寒夜》达到一个高峰。

The connotation of The Cold Night by Bajin is plentiful and complex which goes beyond the limits of the criticism to the social system. It makes a dialogue in the discourse of individuality and humanitarianism with each other equally, which also makes different ideas of value argue for their rationality, on the other hand, it reveals their limitations. The essence of the contradiction between Zeng Shusheng and her husband and mother in law is the conflict between different desires of life. The type of fiction founded by Ye Shaojun reached its peak when The Cold Night was published.
