Research on the Possibility of Orientalized Literature
by Liu Xu
About This Novel
This is a monograph of literary criticism focusing on He Xiangyong's rural novels. He Xiangyong's novels have unique value in contemporary Chinese literature. Based on traditional Chinese culture, more than a dozen novels represented by the "Village Chronicles" series systematically and comprehensively represent the tremendous changes in China's rural areas during the 40 years of reform. The writer truly describes all aspects of contemporary farmers with delicate brushwork, forming the true "peasant writing" after Zhao Shuli. This book mainly analyzes He Xiangyong's novels and compares them with local novels by writers such as Zhao Shuli and Mo Yan. It discusses how to face traditional Chinese culture and Chinese countryside in the era of large-scale industry, post-modernity and consumerism, and how to deal with issues such as the combination of Oriental narratives and modern Western narratives.
