A Study Of The "New Worker" Narrative In New Century Literature(2000-2016)

"Chinese workers" is a plural concept,which contains the specific direction of China’s economic and social construction and transformation: one is the "new workers" produced under the export-oriented economic development model such as the southeast coast,and the other is the "old workers" under the transformation of the old industrial base as the "eldest son of the Republic".In the 1990 s,tens of millions of "old workers" of state-owned enterprises were laid off and hundreds of millions of "new workers" entered the city almost at the same time,and they have always been inherent in China’s modernization process.Over the years,literary researchers have often used such terms as "bottom literature","migrant workers literature" and "migrant workers literature" to name the literary creation of the theme of "new workers",but this appellation has lost its historical consciousness in comparison with "old workers",and has dispelled the struggle for labor rights and interests for "new workers ".Enjoy equal treatment with urban residents and other cultural and political implications.How to express the real demands of "new workers" through literary practice,construct a new type of social culture,and imagine a more equal and fair future are the entry point and theme of this paper.Whether they are old workers or new workers,they have always been inherent in the process of China’s modernization.It is not only epistemological but also methodological to trace back and sort out the "past and present" of "new workers" with a historical consciousness.On the one hand,we should find that this group is such a group from the three perspectives of "enlightenment discourse","revolutionary discourse" and "bottom discourse".What is included in "political planning" and "literary imagination",On the other hand,we should see how these complex images are presented.If we want to observe the literature of the new century as a whole,then the publication of Cao Zhenglu’s" International " and the change of the object of concern of the intellectual circles and the whole society brought about by its discussion are an absolute landmark event.From " International" to "Asking the Boundless",the bottom discourse and the left-wing discourse are connected,and the connection between "literature" and "reality" is restored by reflecting on "pure literature",and literature is changed from "how to write" to "what to write" and "for whom to write “Who?" In this transformation,the writing of "new workers" in the new century has gradually become an important writing trend.That is,after "There",the description of "new workers" has shifted from "should it be said" to "how to tell new workers".In the way of telling,realism,which takes humanitarian feelings and social criticism as its own responsibility,re-enters the social context of the transition period,realism becomes an important way of telling "new workers" "Focus on" new workers "by watching the pain of" others ",On the other hand,the subject of literary creation keeps moving down,and "new workers" also begin to express themselves.In the narrative space,the story of "new workers" is inseparable from the relationship between urban and rural areas.Urban and rural areas are not only important carriers of spatial imagination about "new workers",but also one of the core issues of China’s modernization in the past century.In addition,this paper selects "New Worker" poetry,"New Worker" non-fiction writing,and "New Worker" video expression as entry points to further explore the meaning,limitations,and possibilities of its art form,with a view to adding new literature Cultural imagination and expression,Finally,we must be able to see not only its meaning and value,but also its limits and possibilities,I hope that the writing of "new workers" can provide a new point of thinking for the new century literature."New worker" writing is not just a literary form of a specific group,but a more representative literary expression that responds to modern crisis.The construction and imagination of "new workers" is not only a sharp practical issue,but also a "problem of human possibility".In the process of collecting and analyzing literary works,this paper combines the social and historical status quo to explore the use of cultural research methods,and summarized in the writing.
