乡愁如流水--《看麦娘》与市民情调

池莉小说<看麦娘>在语言上具有流水叙述特色."看麦娘"象征平凡而又优美的双重人格,而父亲正是这种人格的代表."我"所全心依恋的是与父亲和上官瑞芳共同拥有的幼年生活环境,那里生长着"永远的看麦娘".小说意在创造一种都市乡愁,显示市民生活意念都市生活危险而真正理想的完美生活在过去.作家不应仅仅满足于市民情调的生产而是应适当探索市民生活价值的新取向.

Nostalgia Like Flowing Water Kan Mai Niang (Alopecurus) and Citizen Sentiment

The language of Chi Li's novel Kan Mai Niang is characterized with the narrative style of "flowing water". Kan Mai Niang symbolizes the dual personality of both commonness and elegancy, and father is the representative of this style. What "I" am attached to heart and soul is my childhood living circumstances shared with my father and Shangguan Ruifang, where the eternal alopecurus grows. The novel aims to create an urban nostalgia, and demonstrate the citizens' living conception: city life is dangerous and the real ideal perfect life was in the past. The writer is supposed not only to be satisfied with the production of citizen sentiment, but also to explore the new tendency of the citizens' life values.
