为什么小明不能当村长?——赵树理《李有才板话》细读

Why Can’t Xiao Ming Be the Village Head——On Li Youcai’s Banhua by Zhao Shuli

阎恒元的“坏”表现了人性的自私自利与贪图享受。只有老杨同志才是他/它的真正克星。小明和老杨是《李有才板话》中两个同样“太好,太直”的人,但小明未被推出竞选村长以及当村长,老杨的出现就显现出随机、偶然的特征。只有当“老杨同志”有制度化的保障而常态化出现时,中国民众的人性心理以及政治文明才可能获得质的转变与提升。

Hengyuan’s“bad”shows the selfishness and greed for enjoyment of human nature.Comrade Lao Yang is his real nemesis.Xiao Ming and Lao Yang are the same“too good,too straight”people in Li Youcai’s Banhua,but Xiao Ming has not been promoted to run for the village head and become the village head.Lao Yang’s emergence shows the random and accidental characteristics.Only when“Comrade Lao Yang”is institutionalized and normalized can the human psychology and political civilization of the Chinese people be qualitatively transformed and improved.
