Expressing Life Perception With Gentleness

Chi Zijian was brought up in the fertile north land of China just like a beautiful blooming flower of Chinese literature, she has obtained Lu Xun Literary Award three times, and she received Mao Dun Literary Award and Bing Xin prose literature prize again. Many of her novels mostly show us the specific natural environment and cultural landscape in a small town of north region with rich cultural features of the northeast region. It's difficult to classify her novels as certain literature or other, they belongs to her. Nowadays, material world is richer and richer; people are confused by all kinds of values. Many writers lose their way in this mortal world, but Chi Zijian sticks to her spiritual world, she has established her own literary world with a woman's innocence and tenderness. Although there are not important events and thrilling stories in her world and many tragedies strike the families of ordinary people, her novels are full of amazing moving force. Although we have to face death, misery and the reality of the destruction of human nature, there is warmth and love beyond all around us. Feeling life with tender feeling makes her novels very powerful.The paper mainly analyzes how CHI Zijian describes tender feeling from the following five aspects:childhood perspective of tender feeling, the attachment and reconstruction of native land, the other side of suffering, microscopic life and Great Spirit and three patterns of tender feeling.Part One:Childhood Perspective of Tender FeelingWe can find little girls or little boys who look curiously around the world with wide open eyes in her novels. Her fiction has provided people with a unique world by using childhood perspective, everything is new and active. Even if "Mei Nu" doesn't enjoy the family warmth, she sucks nourishment of nature and enjoys human's love. Finally, she grows up healthily. Trivial in mediocrity is relieved by children's naive innocence of children, and children's eyes are pure, bright, and full of poetic brilliance. The words she writes are poetic through childhood perspective.Part Two:the Attachment and Reconstruction of Native LandShe has a sentimental attachment to her birthplace. People and things of her hometown appear in her most excellent novels. She entered the literary world with《Arctic Village Tales》. She concerns about the fate of the home and praises the life style that nature is closely connected with them. She tries to look for the power to bear suffering, and she finds that simple life is filled with tender feeling. Due to this kind of tender feeling, the local world is blessed with pure quality and her nostalgia is able to be reconstructed.Part Three:The Other Side of SufferingEach writer's attitude towards the suffering and death may be different. Accidental death often occurs in Chi Zijian's novels. Death makes many ordinary lives become extraordinary and makes tender feeling more valuable, thus her novels have a kind of desolate beauty of incompletion. Her work always finds love and warmth, which can eliminate suffering after revealing cruelty of society and life.Part Four:Microscopic Life and Great SpiritChi Zijian pays attention to detail description. She experiences natural things in life and establishes spiritual Garden of Eden. Nature in her pen is spiritual, and she expresses the warmth of a harmonious world through tender feeling. Her novels are filled with enduring fresh breath of nature. Natural things in her pen become her spiritual Garden of Eden.Part Five:Three Patterns of Tender FeelingWe can find many images of women with distinctive personality in Chi Zijian's novels. Some of these images are overshadowed by happy tender feeling, some by lonely tender feeling, and some by rebellious tender feeling. All kinds of images are Chi Zijian's "favorite sons". Under the watchful eye of her loving, her novels are full of internal tension and give readers detached aesthetic enjoyment.Chi Zijian sticks to the spirit of humane care with tender feeling. She constructs a world which is full of poetic tenderness in her own creative process. She brings a puff of breeze for contemporary literature and makes an important contribution to people who lack spirits. Her writing has yet to be further studied.
