In the contemporary Taiwan literary world, WANG Wenxing stands the front of most important modernist novelists who express the creation idea and literature conformation by his own rigid and unique language.As the three representative and special styles' works of WANG Wenxing, the volume of short stories "15 Novels", the sage novel "Family Changes" and "Back Sea Person", has gathered the deep understanding in his different life period. Dedicated to the proposition of the growth, the novels have presented the process of growing up in the particular youngster; at the same time, in the dual oppression to the individual between the tradition and modern society, the author clearly reflects a spirit of confrontation, lets his characters escape from the disassimilation of social concept, the traditional moral fetter as well as in the money shackles imprisonment rebels and flees, reflects An indomitable will never compromise; Moreover, the author has grown up with the deepening life experience, the strength of the objective articles and the infinite universe. As a result, we could see the clear trajectory of the thinking evolution by tracing the time sequence in his works.In "15 Novels", the author records the youngster's physiological growth and psychological development under the Chinese traditional family education in details, as well as the fear and discomfort when first joined the society. While "Family Changes" displays the phychological course of an unfilial son who first acts as "cute of parents'" blatantly resists the traditional ethics rule to banish his father; In addition, "Back Sea's Person" demonstrates how the money society to drive out love and the Alienation of human nature, draws out a terrorist scenarios in which human beings are Alienation to the animals and even machines in the western globalization economy and the cultural network by the fables exaggerately. The novels of Wang Wenxing have provided the typical template of youngsters growing under the oriental traditional culture which differs from the western growing novels. In Chinese traditional family education, for one part, teenagers are treated as innocent children who are shielded seriously that their growth are delayed for a long period; for another, they have been tread as a" reduction of adults" and been put great expectations, then their self- independence couldn't been producted in the heavy traditional burden of inheritance. This will certainly cause them do not understand themselves in the changing society, not to grasp the world, only to coerce constantly by society's tidal current institute, and lose themselves in the end. Compares with the initiation story of Chinese mainland in the early 1990s, the novels of Wang Wenxing pay more attention to the spirit and soul, always lodges the symbols in the practical reference between the world of young er adult s and the adults,displays the complex life growth and the energetic crux, therefore, more worthy of our attention and to further study.
