让沉默者发声--《中国的一日》与工人的解放叙事

Let the silent speak--A day in China and the liberation narrative of workers

工人形象与工人运动题材一直是左翼文学的一个叙事焦点,但作为替大众代言的新文学作家,也存在某种疏离真正的工人现实经验、无法让沉默者发声的言说困境。《中国的一日》在一定程度上克服了这种代言者的犹疑,又在实践意义上完成了一种新的书写,以往沉默的大多数终于发出自己的声音,这不能不说是一次富有意义的“解放叙事”。《中国的一日》在作家虚构与想象之外,呈现另一种工人的自我形象建构,二者既有重合也有差异,从而丰富或矫正习见的工人叙事的内涵;工人的自我言说也正是获得自我意识的开始,从“解放”意图上来说,从被代言到主动发声,本身也正是寻求彻底解放的重要一环。沉默者的声音不再被压抑,这种声响与既有的文学书写秩序也构成了某种对话关系。

The image of workers and the labor movement has always been the left-wing literature narrative focus. However,but as a modern literary writer who speaks for the masses,there are also some distance from real workers experience in reality and narration plight on letting the silent people be heard. A Day in China extricates writers from a difficult position to a certain extent,and completes a new writing in a practical sense. Finally,the silent majority make their own voice. This is a meaningful liberation narrative. In addition to the author’s fiction and imagination,A Day in China presents another kind of workers’ self-image construction,which has both overlap and difference,so as to enrich or correct the connotation of the traditional workers’ narration.The self-speech of workers is also the beginning of self-awareness. From the perspective of liberation intention,from being endorsed to taking the initiative to make a voice,it is also an important step in the pursuit of complete liberation. The voice of the silent is no longer suppressed,and this voice also forms a kind of dialogue relationship with the existing order of literary writing.
