Abstract/Summary:
Zhang Ai-ling is good at studying the true condition of human existent by decrypting of daily life, such as human relations and emotions, love and marriage, birth and death and so on. Her novels fully show the contingency of human existent, the separation between human and outer world, meaningless existent and alienation of affection etc, which are understood rationally from un-rational world by Zhang Ai-ling. In this text, the writer try to compare Eileen's novels written in different periods to the novels written by other writers in the same period, classify systematically the different behavior of dissimulators of human relationship, for instance, love of parents, love of brothers and sisters, and relation between old women and daughter -in-law etc, and analyze the cause of dissimulators of human relationship according to Eileen's complicated experiences, digestion of Chinese and Western literary, turbulent and shifting environment. Finally the writer study philosophy connotation of dissimulators of human relationship by using Sartre's theory of freedom and Camus'absurdity thought, which is key point in this text.In Sartre's theory of freedom saying that the men who are lack of awareness of absurd world and lost oneself, pass the buck to external environment, other people, and those who do not want to assume the consequence but attribute it as fate, are all called unfree human. In Eileen's novel, states that in the absurd world, man choose freely become the fate resister who have a clear acknowledgement of abuser world, but most of people are unfree men who do not assume their behaviors, those people will become beguiler, heart distorter and destruction corruptors, In addition, the freedom among person is contained and contrary for each other, which cause indifferent between human and world, other people, even indifferent kinship.Camus'absurdity thought saying that ,when human's desire are contrary with the world, then the world is absurd,and human can truly eliminate such absurdity by their resist.In Eileen's novel, the absurdity shows the contrasting between hope and fruitless in reality, contrary of coming death and wishness of living forever, the doubt of the meaning of living when people face the monotonous life repeat every day. In order to eliminate this absurdity, someone may take the way of suicide, including body suicide.someone may react against absurd world by their resist, but most people will choose to use up the day without ideal.Zhang Ai-ling shine upon her special life experiences by just describing the complicated and dissimilated human relationship of moden urbanites, afterwards express the absurdity and nothingness of world, the loneness and desolation of life, the alienation and indifferent between men and world, and other person.
