Ordinary People?s Identity Anxiety and Identity Consciousness:the Microscopic Representation of the Progress of Chinese Political Civilization Since the Reform and Opening up——Based on the Analysis of the Main Roles in A Lifelong Journey

改革开放四十余年,是中国人身份意识巨变的时代。经过改革开放的洗礼,中国人的身份意识发生了质的飞跃,正在经历几千年来普遍存在的身份漠视、身份歧视到逐步实现身份自觉的根本性变革。这可能是较之于经济社会发展更为深刻也更富有文明意义的心灵深处的变革。借助这一深刻变革,中国人在主体性自觉方面大大地向前迈出了一步,这种转变无疑会体现在普通公民身上。在《人世间》中,周秉昆作为底层社会普通人的代表,是经历改革时代虽有变化但并没有大富大贵的大多数普通人中的一员。他及与他相似的人们,普遍经历了从身份自在到身份焦虑再到身份自觉的过程,记录下了改革时代普通人身份变革的丰富历程。基于《人世间》原著和电视剧的内容,通过对主要角色周秉昆从身份焦虑到身份自觉过程的全面分析,可以窥见中国变革时代主体性自觉的历史脉络和经验教训,进而为促进新时代中国人自主意识成长提供某些有益的启示。

Reform and opening up have lasted for more than 40 years,which is an era of great changes in Chinese identity consciousness.After the baptism of reform and opening up,the identity consciousness of the Chinese people has undergone a qualitative leap,and is undergoing a fundamental change from the common identity indifference and identity discrimination for thousands of years to the gradual realization of identity consciousness.This may be a deeper and innermost change with more civilizing significance compared with economic and social development.With the help of this profound change,Chinese people have taken a great step forward in their subjective consciousness,and this change will undoubtedly be reflected in ordinary citizens.In A Lifelong Journey,Zhou Bingkun,as the representative of ordinary people in the lower society,is one of the majority of ordinary people who have experienced changes in the reform era but have no great wealth.He and people like him generally experienced the process from identity comfort to identity anxiety and then to identity consciousness,and recorded the rich course of ordinary people's identity change in the reform era.Based on the original work of A Lifelong Journey and the content of the TV series,through the comprehensive analysis of the main character Zhou Bingkuns process from identity anxiety to identity consciousness,we can get a insight into the historical context and lessons of subjectivity consciousness in the change era of China,and then provide some useful enlightenment for promoting the growth of Chinese peoples independent consciousness in the new era.
