《憩园》与《活着》悲悯情怀之比较

A Comparative Study on the Compassion in Garden of Respose and To Live

一些作家作品在后世流传中经久不衰,很大程度上取决于作家对真善美的追求和对人生困境的思索与悲悯。巴金的《憩园》和余华的《活着》无疑属于此类。本文就这两部作品从对理想追寻,不同视角,对待现实的不同态度三方面,领略他们悲悯情怀的差异;并从他们对待小人物命运的思索,对真情善意的肯定,对小人物生命的尊重三方面,感受他们悲悯情怀的相通之处。

Some writers' works enjoys enduring popularity in the later generations, in large part because of the writers' pursuit of truth, goodness and beauty, as well as their consideration and compassion for the plight of life. Bajin's Garden of Respose and Yu Hua's To Live are typical ones of this category. This paper tries to reveal the two authors' different feelings of compassion from three aspects: pursuit of ideal, different perspectives and different attitudes towards reality, and the sameness on their thinking regarding the fate of the small potatoes, recognization of integrity and kindness, and respect for the lives of people of lower status.
