The Construction And Deconstruction Of Han Han Myth

Born in 1982,Han Han is among the representatives for the born-after-1980 writers.In 1999,he won the first prize in the first New Concept Composition Competition with his work Pee from inside a Glass.However, he stayed down because of failure in seven subjects in the final exams.This triggered furious debates in the society over a series of educations issues like,what kinds of talents schools should cultivate,all roundels or talented professionals.The publication of his novel Three layered Door in May 2000 rang up the curtain of born-after-1980 writers’ entering the literature circle.Soon after that,Han Han made a decision to quit school,which provoked a social discussion on the Han Han phenomenon. But after he dropped out of school, he didn’t stop writing, he publicated His Country and Just Drift and other best-selling books. From the first novel Three-layered Door in 2000 to the publication of His Country in 2009,Han Han had been all the way active,with a preferable sale of his works. Despite all this,what arracks the public has always been something additional to his works rather than his works.As an iconic figure, Han Han apparently has been a symbol of the media, and can be regarded as a media myth. As a landmark and symbol of the characters, Han Han’s success cannot achieved without the mass media. No matter as a genius boy, or a universal idol, or a public intellectual, Han Han can get a strong support and push from the mass media. Of course, new media also contributed in the process of constructing the myth of the Han, the text in the newspaper extends to interact online media, and with the blog, microblog and other media since interwoven into a network, in order to explore the various tentacles of the public’s attention.I take Southern Weekly reports, 2006 to 2014,of Han Han and part of the Southern People Weekly, Nan Du Weekly as the sample, revealing the media how to shape a as a genius boy, a universal idol, a public intellectual step by step. Based on the answers to these questions at the same time, I hope to analyze how dose the commercial operation of the mass media affect the production of media texts based on a lot of basic data analysis the production.
