“Small Potatoes” and “the Big World”——Chi Li's Novel “Whether Cold or Hot,Better to Live”

池莉作为新写实小说的代表作家,其作品《冷也好热也好活着就好》体现出了新写实小说的鲜明特色,还原了武汉市民的生活图景。池莉笔下的这群"小人物"平凡却不枯涩,在极端的生活环境和平淡的生活中也饱含了饮食男女间的爱情、琐碎日常中的亲情、市民群体间的温情以及新时代青年们的友情。池莉对日常生活小事件、小人物关注的背后是其浓厚的生命意识,她极力张扬一种自然自在的生命观,具体表现为在写作中去阶级化的写作立场,以及对传统文学启蒙精神的变革与发扬。
