川沙文学简介
1生平
川沙（英文：Chuan Sha，1952年 7月 12日-），加拿大华裔，当代诗人、小说家及剧作家。 出生於中国四川省重庆市，本名尹向泽 （罗马拼音：Yin Xiangze）），祖籍山东，父母均为政府官员，川沙在初中一年级时遇上中国发生的文化大革命运动，之后经历了知青下乡及工厂当工人的生活。1980年毕业于四川大学物理系，先后在一家科研所和出版社工作。1991年旅居英国， 1999年移民加拿大，先后在两家出版社及三家报社担任主编。
2文学生涯
1970年代末期，川沙在四川大学物理系念书期间开始小说及诗歌创作。1985年，作为出版社长篇小说编辑的川沙，开始 系统地进行文学创作，那一段时间，他创作了一些诗歌和超现实主义短篇小说。他坚持创作，并在国内开会及组稿过程中，广泛接触中国文学界人士。之后，1991年至1996年，川沙旅居英国及法国期间，因为妻子吴宏在英国敦迪大学化学系攻读博士学位，便也和英国几所大学联系，试图攻读研究生学位，并曾经先后得到英国阿伯丁大学（University of Aberdeen）物理科學院（College of Physical Sciences） 及雷丁大学（University of Reading）人文和社會科學系（Faculty of Arts, Humanities and Social Science）博士及副博士学位学习机会。但还是因为沉溺於文学创作，放弃了继续深造的机会。在英国期间，川沙接触到英国诗人及演员肖恩·休格(Sean Hugher，1965 11 10-2017 10 16)、诗人及剧作家莱姆·西赛(Lemn Sissay 1967 5 21-)、诗人W. N.赫伯特(W N Herbert 1961-)，两次布克奖获得者小说家希拉里.曼特尔(Hilery Mantel 1952 7 6-)、小说家及剧作家简·罗杰斯(Jane Rogers1952 7 21-)等。他十分珍惜自幼喜爱和仰慕的英法文学经典作家真实生活和创作的国度，感觉得自己在这片欧罗巴自由的土地上，经过自己的努力，定会得到西方文学先辈们的真传。川沙沉溺和痴迷於和东方文化迥异的西方文化里，追寻自少年时代阅读的西方经典文学大师们的足迹，在法国，早年伏尔泰、卢梭、狄德罗、拉封丹、巴尔扎克、雨果、毕加索、布雷东 海明威、莫泊桑、左拉、萨特和波伏娃等文化艺术界名流经常光顾的一些咖啡店如巴黎的“普罗可布”咖啡馆（Le Procope）、“狡兔咖啡”（Le lapin agile），塞纳河畔“左岸咖啡”（法语：Café en Seine）一带的 “双偶咖啡馆”（Les Deux Magots）、“花神咖啡 ” （café de Flore) 、 “地牢墓穴”（le caveau des oubliettes”）、 巴尔扎克酒馆以及海盗咖啡馆等。英国伦敦的蒙茅斯咖啡馆（Monmouth Café）、阿尔及利亚咖啡店（Algerian coffee stores） 等，都是他常去的地方。 他经常有意在英国伦敦和法国巴黎的咖啡馆里进行创作，品味和感受他心目中那些西方经典作家的人文环境，以笔记、日记、草稿、摄影图片及视频等形式，搜集西方文学素材并进行文学创作。1999年移民加拿大之后，川沙于2001年在中国作家出版社出版了他的第一本诗选集《拖着影子的人群》，2004年在台湾商务印书馆出版了他的第一部长篇小说《阳光》，该小说的序言及推荐序由国际文学界四名最著名作家担任，他们分别是英国的赵毅衡、中国的白桦、莫言及美国的哈金。长篇小说《阳光》因其内容颠覆性的观点引起文学界高度重视，中国文学评论家陈晓明及李咏吟等发表文章进行分析评论。《阳光》为中国第一部以长篇小说形式正面直露地推崇多元中心论或多维主义论，从而颠覆、解构、批判和否定了千年中国大一统封建家长制文化单一中心论或单一主义论。 2006年在中国广西师范大学出版社出版了第二本诗选集《春夜集》。2007年， 美国W.W.诺顿出版社【11】出版的诗选集《新世纪的语言——当代东方世界之声》将川沙的诗歌选入。这部700余页的诗选集由诺贝尔文学奖得主纳丁·戈迪默（Nadine Gordimer）和普利策奖得主优素福·科穆尼亚卡（Yusef Komunyakaa） 作序，其中收录了南亚、东亚、中东和中亚诗人以及这些地区和国家移居海外的诗人作品。 【12】 三年后的2010年，由浙江大学中文系教授、浙江大学古典学与早期基督教研究所所长李咏吟主编，李志雄、范昀及胡孝根三位文学博士任副主编，河北教育出版社出版的《川沙诗歌精品欣赏》【13】中，李咏吟在序言中写道：“在国际诗坛，特别是北美诗歌界，川沙的时越来越受到重视。2008年，作为加拿大唯一的华裔诗人，川沙与中国最重要的18位优秀诗人（北岛、杨炼、舒婷、顾诚、多多、翟咏明、郑单衣、孟浪、西川、于坚等）一道,被列选美国偌顿出版社出版的全球优秀诗人的诗选集《新世纪的语言》。”在英语维基百科“新世纪的语言”（Language for a New Century
）
词条中【14】，美国偌顿出版社将入选到这部700多页诗集中的南亚、东亚、中东和中亚以及这些国家移民到西方国家的优秀诗人全部一一列表排序进入词条，借以向全世界介绍这些诗人。在《川沙诗歌精品欣赏》中，河北教育出版社在扉页的“出版说明”中写道：“两年前，这些川沙的诗歌赏析分别由中国浙江大学、上海复旦大学、上海华东师范大学、湖南湘潭大学等几所大学的文艺学博士生、硕士、学士，以及部分诗人撰写，并在中国《诗刊》、台湾《创世纪》诗刊、台湾《联合报》文艺副刊、加拿大的《北美时报》、《北美周末》及《环球华报》等报刊、以及《多伦多文艺》、《北美枫》等大量网站上附带中英文诗歌连载，获得中外读者喜爱和好评。”【15】之后，川沙持续不断地出版各种体裁的文学作品至今。其中，2012年在中国花山文艺出版社分上下集出版的92万字的长篇《蓝花旗袍》，这部小说受到莫言、哈金、虹影及李咏吟评介和推荐【16】，以及2019年由加拿大西安大略出版社分上下集出版的85万字的长篇《无根世代》，显示了川沙在长篇小说上的文学创作实力，并奠定了川沙在世界范围内华语文学界的地位。同时，这期间，川沙在中国大陆《诗刊》、《花城》、《长篇小说选刊》、作家出版社、 花山文艺出版社、台湾《创世纪》诗刊、及加拿大报刊杂志上发表诗歌及小说 。1999年移民加拿大至今。川沙在加拿大三家报纸和两家出版社担任主编， 为加拿大华语诗人协会会长，加拿大大雅文化国际（Da Ya Culture International Inc.)副董事长及总裁、加拿大国际大雅风文学奖委员会（The eva luation Committee of the International Da Ya Feng Prize for Literature）共同主席及学术评审委员会执行主席。加拿大北美太平洋文艺国际联盟（NAPAGL: North American Pacific Art Global League ）执行主席， 加拿大安大略省华文教育协会（Ontario Society for Chinese Education）顾问、加拿大中加国际电影节(CCIFF： Canada China International Film Festival)剧本评审委员会国际组组长。

4 创作风格
认为诗歌是分泌出来的诗人出身的小说家川沙，在他的小说创作中，总是在托尔斯泰式推土机踏踏实实大面积叙述中， 偶尔会按耐不住超现实地升华出一些诗性浓郁的幻觉场景和神话以及梦幻人物，例如《阳光》结尾处那颗手榴弹在河水里炸飞起来变化成银色蝴蝶，再幻化为文字的鱼儿；《蓝花旗袍》里，时不时会出现的在月明星稀夜空中那只追撵着男主角金焱撕心裂肺悲怆哭泣的他美丽生母幻化的大鸟；《无根世代》结尾章节在黎明时分阳光下，海市蜃楼般出现在太平洋上的远古商代漂泊到墨西哥的中国人的“幽灵舰队”，以及几乎同时在海洋上空出现的孔子带着三千弟子，和在十二门徒的簇拥下的耶稣，双方在太平洋上空相遇的对中国文化和西方文化未来和平美好寓言式的场景等等。
川沙的长篇小说在故事叙述中，看似平常的景物及心理描写，时常暗含的蒙太奇式烘托和启示。现代主义文学里那些后设、象征、魔幻、意识流以及时空交错，巴赫金和维根斯坦的语言哲学等等，在川沙的思维里似乎更深入肌理。大学激光物理专业的训练，让他深刻理解量子物理世界以及爱因斯坦相对论逻辑，不同于传统牛顿力学宇宙观里的必然性、规律性和确定性，而恰恰是非确定性、概率性和偶然性的。因此，在他的小说情节叙述中，经常是复调式的推进，伴随多个时空交错。人物关系中，意识和潜意识表达交错出现，现实和梦境，回忆和臆想同时发生。看似模糊、脆断、散漫、不合常理、其实内在逻辑严谨。这样的小说叙事，在川沙早期的诗歌和短篇小说里尤为显著，而进入长篇小说，在叙事上却反而显得传统，基本上中规中矩遵循着十九世纪俄罗斯经典长篇手法，但在故事内核里，却用相当现代主义的手法和内在逻辑，构架着触动和启发读者内心或潜意识的动能，从而升华起道德良知视角下的故事寓言。
5 部分小说评论：
从川沙的小说中，我们可以看到，精神家园的问题，将会永远是个问题，认识到的中国人会越来越多，而且，认真一回头来的每个中国人都会明白，那么多“愚行酷行”并非偶然的，而是川沙在小说中如此信服地写到的，是缺少心灵追求的缘故。那么，笼统地否定现代性，并不解决问题，至关重要的，是取得一个精神向度。在川沙看来，中国人的灵魂就是需要彻底洗涤，哪怕不追求“现代化”，哪怕处于异国他乡。那么中国人的灵魂有救赎的可能吗？川沙这本小说提出这样的问题，却没有一清二楚地加以回答。出色的艺术作品，本来就是提问而不开药方。当我们掩卷自问，小说已经把我们带到悟境。【30】
赵毅衡：英国伦敦大学东方学院教授作家、诗人、文学批评家。
“很久都没有读过使我这样沉重的小说了。小说中那些血与火的画卷重新把我拉回到将近四十年前的恶梦里（或许不少中国人都认为恶梦已经醒来，我以为并不。），迫使我必须重新思考我们这个国家和民族的许多根本性的问题。虽然我一直都在思考，而且因为这思考付出了沉重的代价。……川沙这部小说使我震撼的还不只是他对往日场景和灵魂的细腻再现，而是揭示了这些人物灵魂上的重负。小说的主人公秦田只有在另一个国度，在另一个爱他而又没有与他相同经历的、逼近着审视他的、传统而又开放的中国女子面前才能看清自己。我发现，许多经典小说在具体描写上的手法可以多种多样（现实主义、超现实主义、意识流……），却不妨碍它在总体上是一个精辟的寓言、又同时是一首长诗。如：鲁迅先生的《阿Q正传》、萧红的《呼兰河传》、君特.格拉斯的《铁皮鼓》、马尔科斯的《百年孤独》……等等。小说《阳光》也是一个寓言，一个含意深刻的寓言。【31】
白桦：中国作家、诗人、编剧，《苦恋》作者，《山间铃响马帮来》、《今夜星光灿烂》、《杨贵妃》编剧。
“川沙是谦谦君子，但在小说创作中却野心勃勃。这部《阳光》，就是明证。他试图用小说探索中国人的信仰问题，试图用小说解构历史并重新建设历史。于是，历史和哲学就交织在一起，波澜壮阔和柔情万种就融会于一炉，过去的痛苦与未来的焦虑就并存于文本之中。 一本书本不应该承担这么多，但偏偏承担了这么多，这也是我推荐这本书的重要理由。”【32】
莫言：中国作家
“这是川沙的又一部长篇小说，风格朴实诚恳，和读者很亲近。故事从清末民初到上世纪末，地域横跨亚欧，男主人翁金焱的爱情悲剧，国共内战时期一个女兵的行军日记，国民党将军蔡克武被红军枪下留人的情节，都描写了在冰冷的政治和残酷的战争中人性的一面，小说描写了三代人的命运，其中最年轻一代金家三兄弟和同是发小的饭巴砣、布哈林等人的命运，正是《蓝花旗袍》着力表现的我们同时代典型人物的缩影。”
莫言：中国作家
《阳光》是一部雄心勃勃的小说。它力图通过一个爱情故事来描述中国人精神上的创伤和衰落，从而走向文学固有的领域--人的心灵。 自八十年代以来，中国大陆文坛充满了写肉体和写古人的作品，使文学失去了分量，使作家无足轻重。从这个意义上说，《阳光》是积极入世之作。川沙的文笔富有激情，浪漫多彩，为读者展示了血腥而又绚烂的世界。
哈金：美国作家、诗人,美国艺术与科学研究院会员
《蓝花旗袍》是一部恢宏的小说。川沙下了死力，写得扎实细致，每一句话都富有质感——提供新的东西或信息。通篇激情充沛，既浪漫又朴实，具有经典长篇的气韵。
哈金：美国作家、诗人,美国艺术与科学研究院会员
《蓝花旗袍》是一部凄美动人的错乱剧，小说主人翁的故事和命运由于战争和政治风暴而始终漂泊错乱，整部小说承袭了川沙一贯的寓言风格，由小说主人翁的命运暗示时代，如果母亲代表文化，父亲代表信仰，则小说主人翁寻找亲人的真谛是这部小说的核心解密。【36】
虹影：英国作家
《阳光》是一部大小说，川沙以四十万字的篇幅进行激情书写， 从艺术性上说，这部作品写得相当成功。其一，四十万字的大篇幅，没有给人压迫感和空洞感，相当不易，作者的叙述与转换相当流畅，情节有张有弛，紧张有力。其二，作者将诗与叙事自由贯通，叙述句式皆富有激情，充满感染力。其三，在细节想象和细节描绘方面显示出相当的艺术功力，达到了极其特别的抒情效果。例如，白桦极其赞赏的呼呼作响即将爆炸的手榴弹，在梦中，在叙述中具有特别的象征韵味。（《阳光》第4-11页。）其四，象征与神秘的意象构造，使小说叙述具有深刻的思想意蕴。”【37】
李咏吟：文学评论家、浙江大学中文系教授
“川沙是一位极其严格认真的小说家。《蓝花旗袍》以其宏大的视角，展示了主人公在历史与当下、中国与英国的巨大时空背景下的情感与记忆。他不仅关注主人公的历史与现实命运，而且以其细致而质朴的笔触描绘了心灵的隐秘。执著于特殊时代的记忆，追问生命的无奈与偶然，显示内在而坚韧的生存意志，这就是《蓝花旗袍》的力量。” 【38】
李咏吟：文学评论家、浙江大学中文系教授川沙始终强烈关注中国当下的现实，他试图回答当代信仰空缺的难题。在当今中国的小说中，《阳光》不仅直面了历史，也透彻思考了中国当代的现实。它看到问题的根本所在，作为一部小说，它不可能解决那些精神性的难题，也没有一部作品真的能够完成，但它生动地呈现了如此复杂的中国人的内心世界，它们被历史和现实划下的一道道的伤痛，川沙把它呈现在阳光下，让我们更清楚地看到那些印记和未来之光，救赎之路不是在外来的宗教中宿命式的预先给定，而是在自我的坚定选择中展开。这就是它在今天的意义所在，这就是“阳光”一定要照彻新一代中国人的自信。川沙写作这部小说，正如莫言所说，他怀有野心。他在小说叙事上的结构处理是颇为大胆的，现实与历史反复交错的手法，使这部作品的历史含量相当丰厚，且思想深远。小说几乎写出了中国现代史的深重的政治的创伤，这种创伤投射在每个中国人的精神上。在面对新的历史抉择的时刻，这些创伤并没有弥合，需要更大勇气去面对历史，去承担现实和未来。小说的细节也相当出色，小说的叙事中揉进了相当多的诗歌，看得出川沙还是一个相当不错的诗人。诗意与小说始终流宕着的那种激情相一致，推进了小说流畅叙事，使历史的背景故事与现实的人物的思绪构成一种内在情感思流，也使这部作品在艺术表达上具有了更加强劲的文学意味。【39】

Creative Style
The poet-turned-novelist Chuan Sha believes that poetry is secreted. In his novel creation, he always uses Tolstoy's bulldozer-like steadfast and large-scale narrative. Occasionally, he can't help but sublimate some surrealistic things. Poetic hallucination scenes, myths and dreamy characters, such as the grenade at the end of "Sunshine" that exploded in the river and turned into a silver butterfly, and then turned into a fish with words; in "The Lady in the Blue-Flowered Mandarin Gown ", they appear from time to time In the starry night sky, the big bird chases the male protagonist Jin Yan, who is heartbreakingly crying and his beautiful biological mother has transformed into an illusion; in the final chapter of " Rootless Era ", under the sun at dawn, it appears like a mirage on the Pacific Ocean. The "ghost fleet" of the Chinese that drifted to Mexico in the ancient Shang Dynasty, and Confucius who appeared over the ocean almost at the same time with three thousand disciples, and Jesus surrounded by the twelve disciples, the two sides met over the Pacific Ocean and had a profound impact on China. Culture and Western culture, beautiful allegorical scenes of future peace and so on.
In the narrative of Chuan Sha's novels, seemingly ordinary scenery and psychological descriptions often imply montage-style foils and revelations. Metasets, symbols, magic, stream of consciousness, the intersection of time and space in modernist literature, the language philosophy of Bakhtin and Wittgenstein, etc., seem to have a deeper texture in Chuan Sha's thinking. His training in laser physics at the university gave him a deep understanding of the world of quantum physics and the logic of Einstein's theory of relativity, which is different from the inevitability, regularity and certainty of the traditional Newtonian mechanics of the universe, but rather non-determinism, probability and contingency. Therefore, in the plot narrative of his novels, there is often a polyphonic progression, accompanied by the intersection of multiple times and spaces. In the relationship between characters, conscious and subconscious expressions appear alternately, reality and dreams, memories and fantasies occur at the same time. It may seem vague, brittle, scattered, and unreasonable, but it actually has a rigorous internal logic. This kind of novel narrative is particularly prominent in Chuan Sha's early poems and short stories. However, when entering the novels, the narrative becomes more traditional. Basically, it follows the classic Russian novel techniques of the 19th century, but in the core of the story, However, it uses quite modernist techniques and internal logic to construct a kinetic energy that touches and inspires readers' hearts or subconsciousness, thereby sublimating the story and fable from the perspective of moral conscience.
Some novel reviews
From Chuan Sha's novels, we can see that the problem of spiritual home will always be a problem, and more and more Chinese people will realize it. Moreover, every Chinese who looks back seriously will understand that so many "Foolish behavior and cruel behavior" are not accidental, but what Chuan Sha wrote so convincingly in the novel is due to the lack of spiritual pursuit. Then, denying modernity in general does not solve the problem. The most important thing is to obtain a spiritual dimension. In Chuansha's view, the souls of the Chinese people need to be thoroughly cleansed, even if they do not pursue "modernization" and even if they are in a foreign country. So is it possible for Chinese souls to be redeemed? Chuan Sha's novel raises such questions but does not answer them clearly. Excellent works of art are meant to ask questions rather than prescribe. When we hide ourselves and ask ourselves, the novel has brought us to the state of enlightenment. 【30】
Yi-heng Zhao: Professor, writer, poet, and literary critic at the Institute of Oriental Studies, University of London, UK"I haven't read a novel that made me feel so heavy in a long time. The pictures of blood and fire in the novel brought me back to the nightmare nearly forty years ago (perhaps many Chinese people think that the nightmare has awakened) , I think not.), forcing me to rethink many fundamental issues of our country and nation. Although I have been thinking about it, and I paid a heavy price for this thinking. ... Chuan Sha's novel made What shocked me was not only his delicate reproduction of past scenes and souls, but also the revelation of the burden on the souls of these characters. The protagonist of the novel, Qin Tian, only lives in another country, in another country that loves him but does not have the same experience as him. Only in front of the traditional and open-minded Chinese woman who is approaching to examine him can we see ourselves clearly. I found that many classic novels can use various specific description techniques (realism, surrealism, stream of consciousness...) , but it does not prevent it from being an incisive fable as a whole and a long poem at the same time. For example: "The True Story of Ah Q" by Mr. Lu Xun, "The Story of Hulan River" by Xiao Hong, " The Tin Drum" by Günter Grass , Marcos's "One Hundred Years of Solitude"... etc. The novel "Sunshine" is also a fable, a fable with profound meaning.【31】

."Chuan Sha is a modest gentleman, but he is ambitious in his novel creation. This "Sunshine" is proof of this. He tried to use novels to explore the belief issues of the Chinese people, and tried to use novels to deconstruct history and reconstruct history. Therefore, history and philosophy They are intertwined, the magnificence and tenderness are blended into one, the pain of the past and the anxiety of the future coexist in the text. A book should not bear so much, but it does bear so much, which is why I Important reasons to recommend this book.”[32]
Mo Yan: Chinese writer
, author of The Red Sorghum. He won the 2005 International Nonino Prize in Italy. In 2012, Mo was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature for his work as a writer "who with hallucinatory realism merges folk tales, history and the contemporary"
"This is another full-length novel by Chuan Sha. The style is simple and sincere, and is very close to readers. The story spans Asia and Europe from the late Qing Dynasty to the early Republic of China. It includes the love tragedy of the male protagonist Jin Yan and a female soldier during the civil war between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. The march diary and the plot of the Kuomintang general Cai Kewu being shot and killed by the Red Army all describe the human side in the cold politics and cruel war. The novel describes the fate of three generations, including the youngest generation of the three brothers of the Jin family and their classmates. It is the fate of Fa Xiaofan, Bukharin and others, which is the epitome of the typical characters of our contemporaries that " The Lady in the Blue-Flowered Mandarin Gown " focuses on."Mo Yan: Chinese writer
Sunshine is an ambitious novel. It attempts to describe the spiritual trauma and decline of the Chinese people through a love story, thereby moving towards the inherent field of literature - the human soul. Since the 1980s, the literary world in mainland China has been filled with works about the flesh and the ancients, making literature lose its weight and making writers insignificant. In this sense, "Sunshine" is a work that actively engages with the world. Chuan Sha's writing style is passionate, romantic and colorful, showing readers a bloody and gorgeous world.Ha Jin: American writer, poet, member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences
author of Waiting, Crazed, and War Trash .Hemingway Foundation/PEN Award (1997)，Guggenheim Fellowship (1999)，National Book Award (1999)，PEN/Faulkner Award (2000)，Asian Fellowship (2000–2002)，Townsend Prize for Fiction (2002)，PEN/Faulkner Award (2005)，Fellow of American Academy of Arts and Sciences (2006)
" The Lady in the Blue-Flowered Mandarin Gown " is a magnificent novel. Chuansha worked hard to write solidly and meticulously, and every sentence is full of texture-providing new things or information. The whole novel is full of passion, romantic and simple, and has the charm of a classic novel.
Ha Jin: American writer, poet, member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences
" The Lady in the Blue-Flowered Mandarin Gown " is a poignant and moving drama of chaos. The story and destiny of the protagonist of the novel have always been wandering and chaotic due to war and political storms. The whole novel inherits the consistent allegorical style of Chuan Sha, and the fate of the protagonist of the novel hints at the times. If mother represents culture and father represents faith, then the protagonist's search for the true meaning of his relatives is the core decryption of this novel. 【36】
Ying Hong: British writer
"Sunshine" is a large novel. Chuan Sha wrote it passionately with a length of 400,000 words. From an artistic point of view, this work was quite successful. First, the large length of 400,000 words does not give people a sense of oppression or emptiness, which is quite difficult. The author's narration and transitions are quite smooth, and the plot is tense and powerful. Secondly, the author freely connects poetry and narrative, and the narrative sentences are full of passion and appeal. Thirdly, it shows considerable artistic skill in detail imagination and description, achieving an extremely special lyrical effect. For example, the whirring grenade about to explode that Bai Hua greatly admires has a special symbolic flavor in the dream and in the narrative. ("Sunshine" pp. 4-11.) Fourth, the symbolic and mysterious image structure gives the novel's narrative profound ideological implications. "【37】

It is obsessed with the memory of a special era, questioning the helplessness and accidents of life, and showing the inner and tenacious will to survive. This is the power of " The Lady in the Blue-Flowered Mandarin Gown "【38】
Yong-yin Li: literary critic, professor of Chinese Department of Zhejiang University
Chuan Sha has always paid close attention to the current reality in China, and he tried to answer the difficult question of the vacancy of contemporary faith. Among contemporary Chinese novels, "Sunshine" not only confronts history, but also thoroughly considers China's contemporary reality. It sees the root of the problem. As a novel, it is impossible to solve those spiritual problems, and no work can really be completed. However, it vividly presents such a complex inner world of Chinese people that they are Chuansha presents the pains drawn by history and reality in the sunshine, allowing us to see those marks and the light of the future more clearly. The path to salvation is not a fatalistic predetermination in foreign religions. , but unfolds in the firm choice of oneself. This is its significance today, this is the "sunshine" that must shine on the self-confidence of the new generation of Chinese people. Chuan Sha wrote this novel out of ambition, as Mo Yan said. His structural processing of the narrative of the novel is quite bold, and the repeated interweaving of reality and history makes this work rich in historical content and far-reaching thoughts. The novel almost describes the deep political trauma in modern Chinese history, which is projected on the spirit of every Chinese person. At the moment when we face new historical choices, these wounds have not been healed. We need greater courage to face history and bear the reality and future. The details of the novel are also quite outstanding. A lot of poetry is incorporated into the narrative of the novel. It can be seen that Chuan Sha is still a pretty good poet. The poetry is consistent with the passion that always circulates in the novel, which promotes the smooth narrative of the novel, making the historical background story and the thoughts of the real characters form an inner emotional flow, and also makes this work unique in artistic expression. Stronger literary meaning. 【39】
