The ruins of "Wasteland" should be abolished
Jia Pingwa's most influential novel, "Waste Capital", depicts a spiritual ruin with a very colorful life with a strong literary brush.
The protagonist Zhuang Zhidi epitomizes the distortion of a literati's values and moral degeneration and the emptiness of his soul under the background conditions at that time, and several representative literati in Xijing City, many characters in the book are decadent. If someone points out in the comments, "Or driven by the slightest interests in front of us, or trapped in materialistic desires and carnal desires, everyone is like a lost soul, I don't know what to do tomorrow, and no one can spare time to think about the meaning of survival." "Some people praise "Wasteland" for having a premonition, saying that it is written in the twenty-first century
Today.
Some people see that the main purpose of "Wasteland" is not to write about the plight of modern urban civilization and the spiritual crisis of intellectuals, but to write about the decadence of ancient culture in real life, and to write about the survival crisis and spiritual crisis of Chinese cultural people who evolved from "scholars".
Ancient people, "soldiers are determined to be in the Tao", where the Tao is, where the soldiers are going, "iron shoulders bear morality, and clever hands write articles". Today's literati, without traditional culture Chinese the excellence of people, have shown the decadence, decline and decline of ancient culture in today's decadence with bad things. Someone expressed this sentiment about "Wasteland": "That is the portrayal of the ruins after the complete decadence of the human world and the complete return to the animal world!" Critic Li Jianjun said that "The Waste Capital" is "a regrettable tragic event and a serious illness."
"Waste Capital" should have been the provision of critical specimens, stimulating spiritual and emotional momentum for the creative transformation and innovative development of traditional culture. However, because the author Ping Ou himself was mentally unable to find a home and did not want to seek the confusion, he made an exhibition of ruins to people with a superb literary level, showing a naked sick body to people, using stimulating factors to attract people's attention, but not for the purpose of curing diseases, and the act of this street exhibition became just to harvest silver and the name of the writer.
In the writing of "Waste Capital", the literary talent is abundant and abundant, the spiritual soul is dry and dry, and the work cannot form a little critical power, which is the direction of the author without his own spiritual soul.
"Wasteland" portrays the characters in the confusion, and the author himself is lost, and in the afterword he says: *This book that can secure my broken soul", he feels that "only the physical and mental virus and my three-word name are left". He himself is in the sad and disillusioned self-pity of "Waste Capital". In "Waste Capital", he let people see the sick and painful real soul of the literati, and let people see how terrible and desolate it will be once intellectuals give up their mission and faith. And so far, I have not asked about the cause of the disease, and I am really numb to the point of no nerves!
Ping'ao has a lot of literary ability, but without the strength to get out of the ruins, there is no will to get rid of the ruins. He determined that man is sentenced to death by time, and that time sent this journey of life was executed, thinking that he did not have the question of "where to come from and where to go", Zhuang Zhidi in the novel had this question, and that it was not the question that the author himself wanted to solve, in confusion, confusion, but did not know why he was confused, and sat peacefully in his ruins. He depicts the ruins of the expansion of materialism and spiritual desolation in the book, and then goes his own way, to write, to sell words, not to see the release of spiritual thinking injected into the work, and the spiritual deepening and sublimation that does not open the limits is reflected in the article. The daughter "is on the road where she is going", cannot be taught to the father, but like the father, she does not know how to blame herself, and "raises her middle finger to the heavens" (Jia Qianqian's poem: "Hope").
Hope lies in the spirit of the times that grows from tradition, and when the true spirit grows, the ruins are abolished.
Ruins should be abolished, and something right should be done for future generations.
A few years ago, Ji Xianlin said: "'Waste Capital' will shine in 20 years. "That light is to be "Waste Capital" to become a wake-up call for people to clean up the ruins, then if the author Mr. Pingwa takes the lead in getting rid of the ruins
Ma Yuan believes that "'Waste Capital' depicts a state of boredom of contemporary intellectuals to the extreme as never before in Modern and Contemporary Chinese literature." The great light of "Wasteland" must be the complete end of a state of boredom that it has contributed to the contemporary intellectuals. That is, the author had to rewrite a postscript to end the boring "Waste Capital", that is, he found the purpose of man and told people with the new "Waste Capital" afterword.
