Nowadays,the mankind is facing a severe impact of two cultural streams:one is globalization;the other is nativization. The two conflicted,compatible and interactive cultural streams have thrown great light on the development of today's social culture.Under the effect of globalization,different cultures of different countries or regions of the world have formed a mutually conflicted,communicative,and interactive multi-dimensional network background. And in this global network,any culture is no longer limited by its geographical position,nor by its historical space,but exists as a matter in irregular,unbalanced and disuniform movement,which has formed the fact that any culture-is on the move from a special perspective,and is carried on from the angle of time,and meanwhile it is created.Guangxi is a national region with rich local features,and it is a region in the process of globalization at the same time. So,it has a particularly acute perception towards nonnative cultures. The impact and the interaction between nonnative cultures and local cultures has brought about an unprecedented "fresh" flavor to the literature of Guangxi,an unprecedented historical sense of urgency and developing boldness of vision. Thus,the literature of Guangxi has just promoted itself through constant absorption of different cultural elements.Since 1978,the literary circles of China has entered a new period of rapid development,while the literary circles of Gvangxi has remained unconcerned. Except that one of the writers had won a prize in the second national short story competition,none of the literary circles of this region had got any other national honors...It is not until the middle of the 1990s,after years of accumulation,the literary circles of Guangxi have led attacks towards the national literary circles from many perspectives. It has not only formed a writing group of great strength and staying power,whose works have covered large space of many important literary periodicals throughout the country,but the writers in this circle have produced classic works which are by no means inferior to other works in the national literary circles. In this way,a strong stream of "Guangxi wind" has been set off in the literary circles of China.After going into a research on these young writers,we will be easy to find that the emergence of this writing group together with its amazing achievements within such a snort time has its own reasons. Firstly,it is greatly related to the activities of seeking literary sources known as "Baiyue extent" and literary "new rethinking"which took place in Guangxi in the 1980s;secondly,it has a potential relation with the local culture and humane quality of Guangxi;thirdly,it has been inevitably linked with the self quality of the writers in this group and the efficient leadership of the cultural sections in Guangxi government and the favorable environment brought about byglobalization.This group of young writers in Guangxi mainly includes. Guizi who writes,about the social reality,Li Feng who seeks for an organic combination of sense of historical nihility and sentimental romanism,and Fan Yiping who looks for a contradictory combination of various writing styles and seeks writing sources in noisy marketing environments. This group of writers,generally speaking,have received considerably high education,so they have acute perception and acceptability towards newly emerged things,and they have solid writing theories,wide field of visions,and they have shown great concern about the audience in their writing,which shows a strong sense of wide publicity. Due to their lives in a region of minority nations,national cultural and psychological traces can inevitably be seen in their writings. And it is just the young and intellectual orientation of this writing group that has formed the transcendent and broad-minded character in their writing. From the themes of their novels,we can see " poetry and history spread in between lines","close examination of the lives of people at the bottom level" and "...
