既关注国计民生,也关注精神信仰——评石一枫长篇小说《心灵外史》

Focus on both the National Welfare and People's Livelihood,and the Spiritual Belief:on Shi Yifeng's Novel the Legend of Soul

关注国计民生是《心灵外史》的一个重要的价值层面,但对国人精神信仰层面上的深层透视,更可以被视为石一枫小说创作的一种新开拓。这一点,集中通过对主人公大姨妈这一被刻画得神灵活现的女性形象而凸显出来。具体来说,在这部叙事时间跨度长达半个多世纪的长篇小说中,大姨妈精神信仰方面的疾患,乃集中通过文革、气功、传销、信教等四个关键性的时间节点而体现出来。

Concerning on the national welfare and people’s livelihood is an important value level of the novel the Legend of Soul,but a deep insight into the level of spiritual belief of the people can be further regarded as a new expansion in Shi Xiaofeng’s novel creation,which can be presented by the major character,Older Aunty,a female who was described vividly and vigorously.In detail,in this long novel with a narrative time spanning over half a century,Older Aunty’s anxiety of spiritual belief were embodied in the four key periods,i.e.the Cultural Revolution,Qigong,Multi-level Marketing,and religion believing.
