中国农村的隐痛表达——贾平凹《极花》论

The Dull Pain Expression of the Rural China——On Jia Pingwa's Ji Hua

《极花》将目光又一次聚焦于物质与精神双重贫瘠的偏远山村,通过一个被拐卖的故事接续了贾平凹多年来对农村生态的思考与认识。《极花》是反映当前中国农村严重问题的"问题小说",其中对城市化进程中农村男女青年的命运与困境的揭示、对农村未来的深度忧思,都显现了作家的忧患意识、责任意识和危机感,也带着作家作为"农村之子"的深深痛感,折射出了贾平凹对乡土和城市复杂的文化心态,农村的精神性存在和可持续性发展是现代化进程中我们必须面对的一个难题。

Ji Hua focuses once again on the remote rural area which is infertile both materially and spiritu- ally, continuing Jia Pingwa＇ s years long reflection and cognition of the countryside ecology through an abduc- tion story. Ji Hua is a ＂problem novel＂ reflecting the serious problems in present countryside. Its revelation of the rural young people＇s destination and dilemma in the process of urbanization and its meditation on the fu- ture of rural area demonstrate the writer＇ s awareness of hardship, his sense of responsibility and crisis, as well as the wirer＇ s great pain as ＂a son of the countryside＂. It also reflects his complicated cultural mentality to- wards the rural and the urban lives. The spiritual existence and sustainable development of the countryside is a tough problem that we have to face in the process of modernization.
