价值失落后的国民性追问——老舍小说“空儿”意象解读

“空儿”在老舍小说《我这一辈子》中两次出现，它实际上是弥漫在老舍许多小说中的一种普遍情绪。它是主人公积极价值在现实面前碰壁后对原有价值的放弃而在心里留下的追求空白，它又是将原有积极价值向“敷衍”的为人处世国民性格的转变。内心里留下了空白，行动却表现为“敷衍”。敷衍是众多国民性格的共有特点，它既有现实生存压迫的直接原因，也有传统文化传承与人性需要选择的内在根源。填补价值空白，回归积极人格的最佳途径是教育。

Question of National Character after the Drop of Value Image Interpretation of ＂Empty Space＂ in Laoshe＇s Novels

＂Empty Space＂ is mentioned twice in Laoshe＇s novel, All My Life, and it is actually a universal mood pervading in many novels of his. It is a blank of aspiration left in the protagonist＇s heart after he beats his head against the wall and gives up the original value; it is also the transformation from original positive value to ＂being perfunctory＂ national character. In his heart, leaves a blank, while in his action manifests ＂being perfunctory＂. ＂To be perfunctory＂, the common character that a great number of people have, lies not only in the direct reason of survival oppression in real life but also the internal cause of the choice of traditional culture inheritance. The best way to fill the ＂Empty Space＂ of value and return to positive value is through education.
