打破第四面墙的写作手法与英雄叙事--论麦家《人生海海》

On the Writing Technique and Hero Narration of Breaking the Fourth Wall: Rereading Mai Jia’s Novel Ren Sheng Hai Hai

麦家新作《人生海海》的写作手法非常新颖,通过打破第四面墙,让"我"和读者一起坐在台下听各个叙述者讲述"上校"的故事。通过"揭开上校的秘密"来破译人性和心理密码,审视着过去的一段历史在人心上打下的烙印。不管是叙事题材、叙述形式还是创作意图,这部作品都与其前作不同,这是麦家创作历程中一次成功的自我超越,并通过这部《人生海海》,再次建构文学治愈人心、恢复生命希望的道德功能。

If the novel is regarded as a movie,the writing method of Mai Jia’s new work Ren Sheng Hai Hai is very novel. Mai Jia breaks the fourth wall and lets "I"and the reader sit under the stage and listen to each narrator tell the story of the "Colonel". Through "uncovering the Colonel’s secret",we can decipher the code of human nature and psychology,and examine the imprint of the history on people’s hearts. Whether its narrative theme,narrative form,or creative intention,this work is totally different from his previous one. It is a successful self-transcendence in the process of Mai Jia’s creation,and through this work Ren Sheng Hai Hai,it rekindles the moral function of literature to heal people’s hearts and soothe their wounds.
