《时间移民》:“入世”亦“出世”的寻家之旅

Immigration Traversing Time:Secular or Beyond,A Journey to the Inner-heart Home

刘慈欣用《时间移民》带领人类的希望种子进行了一场时间旅行,在历史长河中演绎人类文明的兴衰存亡史。这次旅行的每一次停留所经历的时代都是作者对未来世界的构筑和推演,这种创世推演的过程是艰辛的,也是痛苦的,是作者要创造一个个全新世界而不得不进行的"入世"考验,他必须亲手揭开掩藏在"人性"下的残酷事实。而另一方面,在作品中,人类直接放弃了现世和现时的努力,将希望寄托于未来,反映出作者对现实和人类的清醒认知,进而抛弃主流文学永恒的"人学"法则,"出世"遁入"宏观宇宙学",站在宏观宇宙的高度对人类命运进行锋利、冷漠的解剖。这趟旅行在兜了一大圈后又回到了起点,也许这就是刘慈欣内心深处一直在寻找的"家园"。

Liu Cixin leads the seeds of human’s hope to have a time travel in Immigration TraversingTime,and deduces the rise and fall of human civilization in the long river of history.Each period in thisjourney is the construction and deduction of the future world by the author.But the deductive process ofcreation is difficult and painful.The author has to reveal the cruel reality hidden in humanity.On the otherhand,human beings in his work give up efforts in this life and pin hope on the future.This shows theauthor’s clear understanding of the reality and human beings.He discards the principle of“humanism”,which prevails in the mainstream literature.The author,instead,stands beyond the secular world,and stepsinto“mega-universe”.He analyses the human fate sharply and detachedly in the height of“mega-universe”.This travel is just like a circle back to the starting point in the end.Maybe that is Liu Cixin’s inner-hearthome which he has been looking for.
