Abstract/Summary:
The works of Chi Zijian are neither deep nor complicated. But they can always touch us,due mainly to the construction of paradise in her workswhose subjects are mainly from the Arctic Village ------her hometown,bycompensating what the modern society short of.In this beautiful world,she emphasizes back to nature and back to the nature of human beings themselves. In this world,she try to answer the questions of being,such as death and destiny . She deems that death is nothing but another existing form of life,so one should face with it calmly. But destiny is in a slate of vicissitudes,only the man who has almost no desire can have a sense of happiness. What's more,she describes a good relationship in thesociety------1 love everyone so everyone loves me. Because she thinks thathuman beings are benevolent in nature,she objects to complementary social code and hopes that the evil will feel guilty and regenerate in person.Chi Zijian doesn't criticize superficially the sorrow and vacuousness people in the modern society suffer from,she means to resist them by constructing an ideal world. From this aspect,her works is very significant. But the world she tried to construct is so disappointing. First the world is largely imaginative;second the character of its culture is closed and lagging. The writer pursuits to escape the existing society and return back to primitive civilization,so we can discover the great limitation from returning to the nature of human,advocating fraternal social relationship,objecting to material and emphasizing spirits pursuits and so on.Just because Chi Zijian overlooked the advantages of the modern civilization and the disadvantages of the primitive civilization,she has no way to construct a really desirable ideal world.
