Inheritance and Innovation of Red Classics:On the Value and Significance of Roots by Zhuang Shen

庄深的小说《根》以庄坤林由庄家大少爷成长为新四军韩胡区区长,并为国捐躯的经历为叙事构架,不仅继承了传统抗日题材所具有的反抗外辱、争取民族自强的红色精神基因,而且在突破传统红色叙事模式方面也有所创新。它打破了传统红色书写的单一模式,融入了家族叙事、传奇叙事、战争叙事等多种叙事素材,提升了红色叙事的故事张力,丰富了红色经典的英雄人物系列形象,在一定意义上是对具有“中华民族精神镜像和文化遗产”特征的红色经典的继承与创新。

The novel Roots by Zhuang Shen takes Zhuang family's young master,Zhuang Kunlin's experiences as a narrative structure,in which he grew up as the Hanhu district chief of the new fourth army and died for his homeland.It not only inherits the red spirit genes of resisting foreign insults and striving for national self-improvement of the traditional anti-Japanese theme,but also innovates in the aspect of breaking through the traditional red narrative mode.It breaks through the traditional single mode of red writing,integrating many kinds of narrative materials,including family narrative,legend narrative,war narrative and so on.It promotes the story tension of the red narrative and enriches the series of hero image in red classics.In a sense,it is the inheritance and innovation of the red classics with the characteristics of“Chinese nation's spiritual mirror and cultural heritage”.
