寻常地失去、无力地寻找与坚韧地救赎——评孙惠芬《寻找张展》

Ordinary Loss,Powerless Search and Tenacious Redemption——Comment on Sun Huifen's Search for Zhang Zhan

孙惠芬的《寻找张展》可以切分为"失去""寻找""抵抗与救赎"三个故事。青年张展肩负叛逆的身份标识,在"无物之阵"的情感暴力和社会惯性之中深陷于一个又一个"失去"的漩涡。而"我"在与其交换妈妈、大学辅导员、特教学校教师等织就的"寻找"的故事中,经"众声喧哗"的多声部叙述建构出张展的人物影像,并从中透析出世界的窒息、压迫与焦虑品质,也点染出普遍性的心灵病灶与精神迷失的现代困境。张展的自我申说凸显出其对于社会紧张关系的坚韧抵抗,"大槐树"的文化隐喻则表征出张展精神的返乡与生命意义的延展。作者把张展生命救赎与精神腾飞的动力放在了一贯书写的乡村,说明作家转型中的价值定势,这亦表明写作转向是可能的,但是要与过去作决绝的分离亦是困难的。

Sun Huifen's Searching for Zhang Zhan is made up of three stories: loss,search and resistance and redemption.Young Zhang Zhan,who bears the rebellious identity mark,is trapped in the emotional violence and social inertia of the "Matrix of Nothing" and "Lost" one after another.In the story of "searching" woven by "I" and the exchange of mothers,university counselors,teachers of special education schools,the multi-voice narrative of "public voice" constructs the unfolded image of Zhang Zhan,from which the quality of suffocation,oppression and anxiety of the world is revealed,and the universal mental focus and spiritual loss are also touched.Zhang Zhan's self-representation highlights his tenacious resistance to social tensions,while the cultural metaphor of "Great Sophora Tree" represents Zhang Zhan's spiritual return and extension of life significance.The author puts Zhang Zhan's power of life salvation and spiritual soaring in the countryside of his writing,which shows the value orientation of the writer's transformation.It also shows that the turn of writing is possible,but it is also difficult to break away from the past.
