一个乡村叛逃者视角下的乡村档案——读乔叶《拆楼记》

A Village Archive from the Perspective of a Village Defector

在新世纪的非虚构作品中,《拆楼记》的独特之处在于对当下城市化进程中乡村的征地、拆迁、赔偿、信访等尖锐现实问题的直面书写。同时它属于新世纪乡土文学的范畴,体现了新世纪乡土文学的普遍特征。乔叶给我们展示了一个正在变质的故乡,它不仅是自然环境的变化,更是对乡土文化精神和生命肌理的破坏。在城市化的进程中,土地不再是农民的生命之根和情感寄托,而成为谋取更大利益的工具。《拆楼记》在呈现当下乡村现实的同时,还生动地展现了'我'——一个乡村叛逃者——的情感与欲望,'我'的精明与算计,'我'的内疚与自责,揭示出人性的复杂与微妙。

From the perspective of'I',an intellectual who once belonged to the countryside but left the village,'demolition of buildings'returns to the scene of rural life,presenting the farmers’efforts in maintaining land and homeland and human trials in the current process of modernization and urbanization,leaving a vivid rural archive for our era.At the same time,it is unique in the'non-fiction'literary works in the new century.Because it directly writes the sharp realities in the current urbanization process of land acquisition,demolition,compensation,etc.However,compared with the self-reflective'I'in'liang zhuang series',the moral indifference of'I'in'demolition of buildings'is a sample of the mentality of the urban middle class.Its introspection and reflection are extremely weak,which limits the depth of the text.
