Creative features
subject
theme
Fang Fang's novels mainly focus on the subjects of citizens and intellectuals. The novels with the theme of citizen mainly include "running clouds and flowing water", "sunset", "peach blossom", etc., which are the revelation of life and the reflection of human survival dilemma. Although most of Fang Fang's scenes of citizen's existence are cold and cruel, and the characters are twisted and contradictory, the writer's serious thinking about social reality runs through them.
In the rapid development of the times in the 1980s, Fang Fang found that there are still many people behind the development of the times. They don't use tap water, they can't take a shower, the times are advancing rapidly, and their life is still slow and backward. It turns out that many people in the world are living in their own way. Maybe they know nothing about the grand world, have never experienced the rapid changes of the times, and have no sensitivity to social development, but they also have their own complete living world and know the tiny things in nature. The existence beyond the times is the expression of individual life freedom and infinite consciousness. Fang Fang's life experience enriches his understanding of life connotation.
In addition, his intellectual novels include "at my beginning is my end", "where is my home", "chronicle of the black mud lake", etc., which mainly focus on the reflection on the fate and personality of intellectuals. Fang Fang is a writer with intellectual justice, conscience, sense of responsibility and sense of mission. Her works not only reflect the reality coldly, but also are full of the tenderness and compassion of female writers. From a female perspective and female identity, she shows the female power beyond gender. In his novels, Fang Fang observes the existence of individual life with sober eyes, explores the life experience of people in the real life suffering and predicament, and thus promotes the formation of a cold life consciousness, that is, the reconciliation between the persistence of life and death. Fang Fang said that the novel is only her personal expression, is her way of pouring out, this kind of pouring out is the life experience after experiencing the loneliness of individual existence and the fragile relationship between people in life, and the novel creation is the way to resolve this kind of lonely life experience. Under this unique feeling of life, Fang Fang has formed a calm and bystander attitude towards individual life, perceiving all living beings in the world with his own pain, perceiving the broken world and distorted human nature from the experience of individual life consciousness, perceiving ordinary citizens' life in a calm and bystander way, and narrating all kinds of life.
wasteland consciousness
Fang Fang permeated the consciousness of "wasteland" when he wrote about the lack of material at the bottom. The most prominent characteristics of the bottom group are the narrow living space and low social status, and the reality of the wasteland that the bottom has no place to escape is contained in the bottom survival appearance. "Sense of wilderness" is the background and keynote of Fang Fang's literary creation of describing the bottom. She put aside the common warmth, interest and survival humor in life and exposed her rough and bad living condition. The wasteland of the bottom group is mainly manifested in two aspects: material wasteland and spiritual wasteland. Among them, the narrow living space and the lack of material wealth directly lead to the deconstruction of the love and family relationship of the bottom groups, and people are performing human nature in order to survive. The work reveals the current situation of material and spiritual deficiency of the bottom groups under the social conditions of wasteland.
Thinking at the bottom
Fang Fang has his own unique thinking on the way out of the bottom, and is trying to explore the way out of suffering. On the one hand, she inherited the intellectual's identity and spiritual characteristics, on the other hand, she naturally integrated the intellectual's spiritual blood and value scale into the clear "professional consciousness", which set two ways out for the suffering of the bottom class: to destroy in the struggle or to stay in the world. In the struggle, self destruction focuses on the expression that whether the bottom people make efforts or not, their destiny will be swallowed by reality under the influence of the times and social external forces. Fang Fang, who is more and more mature in writing, sees the contradictions behind survival that cannot be resolved. Although he admits that people can't grasp and control survival most of the time, he can't give up even if he does. Therefore, Fang Fang's works let the bottom characters stick to the earth with the characteristics of kindness and justice to fight against the real suffering.
