The Construction Of The Spirit Of Subject--An Faraway Dream

In china, the 1980s are regarded as an era that honored the spirit of subject. However, when it comes to the postmodern-discourse-dominated 1990s, which propagate the death of the subject and the death of mankind, the discussion on the spirit of subject has vanished, and the Construction of the spirit of subject seems to be completed and fulfilled dream .In fact, the spirit of subject in individuals is far from realized, as can be seen from the spiritual diagnosis of the literature in the 90s. It is time to rethink "the spirit of subject".In my opinion, the establishment of prevalent and subjective spirit indicates the completion of enlightenment. That is to say, it signifies that an individual come into a mature stage spiritually and has the ability to make use of his or her own personality publicly while dealing with all things .As a matter of fact. This is a very strenuous, spiritual project. The main reason is that an individual must return to his own spirit. Though it is no easy to do so .A number of philosophers has dwelled on human being's "non-existence". Human beings are socialized while growing up, at the same time, They lose their special say-consciousness under the influence of objectiveness from outer world. Individuals are not regarded as separate and unduplicatable one's any more. They live in a fixed style as other individuals. They follow the main stream. Individuals personalities don't being to themselves because their sense, idea and inclination are reformed .This is our fundamental destiny .Once individuals' spirit deviate from fixed habit and ordinary life ,once they realize that they lag behind prevalent trend , they will pull themselves out of mixed situation from others , and it is likely for them to return to their individuality . As a result they will find that egoism is isolated, occasional and helpless in the endless world, that is the beginning of his self-consciousness. "As long as human being doesn't destroy that dull objectiveness and is not aware of himself and his life behind fixed modes of patterns , this world becomes a distant and illusive one .Once he reaches self-consciousness, he is not only bound to the truth of his own but also to the truth of his world .In addition , with the development of this realization , he will takes to action and tries to change thattruth into activity so that the world becomes a real world ------self-consciousness."The world of Malchosi indicates that individuals will return to selfness and consciousness. A writer must start writing from that point .The spiritual construction and literary production in china in 80th are far away from that point. The writers in that age didn't achieve their responsibility, belief and ideal self-liberation and self-selection but from systematic imposition. So the foundation of spiritual belief is not solid. The Propagation of that spiritual belief doesn't reflect the subjective spirit, on the contrary, it restricts the individual freedom.The literature in 80s is short of solid writing foundation because of the writers' failing to return to selfness. The writers' shortage of subjective spirit is shown from that aspect.Since there was no individual subjective spirit in 80s, Chinese didn't learn how to be independent. In 90s, acing kaleidoscopic and torn reality, they became heavy-spirited and lost. They had no choice but to drift in the main stream. This inevitable spiritual drift also showed that individuals were in want of independent spirit. In the late of 90s, these writers was determined to find themselves and refused traditional spiritual heritage. They are open to self-perception. They conveyed something hidden in daily life. They revealed their transcendence of aesthetic standards and the change of spiritual direction. Although they fell into nihility again after they set their minds to return to selfness, We saw how meaningless their living style is. After all, they disclose the only truth in their lives .No one was willing to admit that he is deficient in spirit. It needed great courage to s...
