To Shi Zhecun Novels,

Shi Zhecun, who epitomizes the Chinese modernist literature, has introduced Freud's psychoanalytic theory into his own novel writing. This helps his writings take on a special ideological intention and artistic style, thus establishing his position in the history of thirty-year modernist literature. This paper intends to get a general view of Shi Zhecun's novels, and analyze especially his psychoanalytic novels that most embody the characteristics of his writing. In Shi Zhecun's ten-year writing career, his works, in both ideology and art, witness the process of changing from realism to modernism and back to realism. This regression is mot only due to his own subjective factors. But also to the pressure from the objective environment. Generally speaking, the modernist features constitute the major part of his writing. The first chapter chiefly analyzes Shi Zhecun's creating career of combining modrnism and realism in his novels and his creative awareness in literature.The second chapter analyzes humanistic thoughts in Shi Zhecun's novels by considering such factors as the effect of Freud's psychoanalytical theory on Shi Zhecun, his effort to seek the eternal subject in literary creation and his being deeply engrossed in depicting double, multiple and morbid personality. The third chapter mainly discusses Shi Zhecun's attempt on a variety of modernist creative methods. The shift of angles of narration, the wide use of stream-of -consciousness methods and his sedulous pursuit of dreams and illusions put a striking mark on shi's works.
