生命的礼赞与狂欢——试析从《活着》到《兄弟》的美学追求

The Psalm and Carnival of the Life——The Aesthetic Pursuit from To Live to Brothers

20世纪90年代后,余华的小说呈现出新的美学追求,从揭示、暴露人性之恶转为礼赞生命,展现生命的狂欢。《活着》充满苦难,更表现内心的深情与感动;《许三观卖血记》表现生命的顽强与智慧,要忍受痛苦但更要体验痛快和欢畅;《兄弟》中充满喧嚣、混乱与残暴,但也闪烁着生命的美好与尊贵。这三部作品各具特色,但都是激动人心的生命赞歌。

There had been a new aesthetic pursuit in the novels of Yu-hua after 1990s. It is from the discovery and exposure of the human evil to praise life and reveal the carnival of life. There is full of suffering, more over affection and moving at heart in To Live; Chronicle of a Blood Merchant shows the invincibility and wisdom of the life that has to endure pains to enjoy more delights. Brothers is full of uproar, chaos and atrocity, but with the flickers of beauty and dignity as well. These three characteristic works are all the exciting psalms of life.
