透过“他者”之镜穿越“自我”成长的迷宫——刘东新作《镜宫》解读

Form the Mirror the Other through the Maze of Self Growing——Interpretation on Liu Dong′s Jing Gong

《镜宫》以"镜子"和"迷宫"的双重隐喻,讲述了主人公在青春成长过程中透过"他者"之镜,成就"自我"认同的故事。小说为主人公设置了四组镜像,分别是勇气、信任、爱情和死亡。主人公在每组镜像中经历的人生,都是成长中的一次蜕变,在看似虚幻的故事背后,却抵达现实深处,最终帮助其建构了新的自我,走出成长的迷宫。

With the double metaphors of ＂mirror＂ and ＂maze＂, Jing Gong tells a story about the protagonist in the youth growing up through the mirror of the other from ＂self＂ identity. The author sets up four groups of mirror images for the protagonist：courage, trust, love and death. The life that the protagonist in each group of mirror image experiences is a change in the growth, helping himself go out of the growth of the maze.
