鲁迅与赛珍珠笔下的中国农民形象

鲁迅和赛珍珠是对中国农民心怀大爱的作家。在关注农民的政治态度、宗教意识、家族观念、现实苦难以及农村妇女所遭受的悲剧命运方面,他们的视角有许多相似之处。但由于二人在切入文学的机缘、观察社会的视角、关注现实的焦点等方面存在差异,他们的农村题材小说又呈现出截然不同的艺术风貌。鲁迅作为现代中国的启蒙大师,注重深度再现社会落后的病根,揭示国民的劣根性;而赛珍珠作为对中国农民心怀挚爱的西方作家,则在细致再现他们丰沛的内心世界、坚毅的品质和独立自持的精神方面用心着力。

Both Luxun and Pearl S. Buck are writers who are deeply concerned with Chinese pea sants. They share a lot in their political attitude, religious beliefs, family ideology, pains and rural women＇s tragedy. Nevertheless, owing to their different literary backgrounds, angles of viewing the society, focuses of reality etc. , their works of the peasant life present two distinct artistic styles. As an enlightenment master, I.u Xun focuses on the real cause of the backwardness of the Chinese coun- tryside, revealing the inferior temperament of Chinese peasants, while Pearl S. Buck, a writer of Western origin, cherishes affection and appreciation for Chinese peasants, by depicting their rich inner world of sturdiness and self-independence.
