Pondering And Prospecting Through The Dense Fog

After the Culture Revolution, Chinese literature experienced new developments, and the so-called modernism trend emerged. Avant-garde fiction, as the successor of the "root-searching" fiction and the "new-tide" fiction and also the epitome of Chinese modernism literature in her "new period", achieved the real independence.In the 1990's of the last century, market economy with Chinese characteristics is becoming more and more matured. Consequently, the original literature form of the avant-garde fiction was copied by popular literature so as to lose its avant-courier character, and existentialism turned to erotic marvelous spectacle in popular literature. Under this circumstance, avant-garde fiction began to ebb straight after it was accepted and acknowledged.In the 1980's, Yu Hua was the most famous guy among the Chinese Avant-garde fiction writers, and several steps of the changes in his works were corresponded to the development vein of the Chinese contemporary avant-garde fiction. whether in the fastigium of the creation in the 1980's, or the changes in the works in 1990's just as "Alive" and "The story of the selling blood by Xu Sanguan", the avant-courier attitude was never weaken. At the beginning of the new century, the new novel "The Brothers" came out under the circumstance of the prevalence of the consumerism. Whether it means another change of Yu Hua's creation, or means compromising with the popular literature? Is "avant-courier" in the new century still succeeding, persevering or even exceeding?Yu Hua's creation course is representative of the development of the Chinese avant-garde, so here we want to choose him as the representative writer, and taking him into the Macro-perspective of the development of the Chinese avant-garde fiction at the turn of the century. From one point to the whole plane, to excavate his writing changes and significance, even to express our deep concern and hope to the reconstruction of the whole Chinese avant-garde literature.
