Just as "love" and "death","growth" is also an important literary motif.Many writers at all times and in all countries have carried out rich discussions and reflections on the issue of growth,and thus have produced a great deal of creative achievements.Their works,which are full of passion and ideological connotation,reveal the mysteries and perils of growth for the readers.Bi Feiyu is one of the most talented writers in contemporary Chinese literary arena.He has written nearly one hundred novels since he entered the literary world,many of which involve initiation writing.Such novels focus on depicting the growth track of the characters,showing a rich and varied landscape of growth,narrating the growing pains of the protagonist,and deeply pondering the related problems of "growth",which shows the author’s understanding of life and the world.Starting from the perspective of Bildungsroman,this paper attempts to investigate and analyze the features of growth writing in Bi Feiyu’s novels,so as to reveal the artistic characteristics and value of Bi Feiyu’s novels from a specific perspective.In Bi Feiyu’s works,the growth of characters is always closely related to the social era in which they live.In different historical backgrounds and cultural contexts,the protagonists have different dilemmas and tribulations in their growth,and the landscape of their growth can be described as diverse.Among them,there are the "imprisoned" growth under parental intervention and restriction,the growth of ups and downs in multiple temptations such as material desires and erotic desires,and the growth of alienation in the environment of specific times and social and cultural psychology.In the life process of the growth hero,there are also many leading people.The words and deeds of the guide will often affect the choice of the life path of the growth hero.Compared with the growth heroes,the description of the growth guides in Bi Feiyu’s novels is not the focus of the works.But we can still see the influence of the growth guides on the growth heroes.Some of them are the life tutors of the protagonist,some of them are the partners or friends of the protagonist.The growth guides undoubtedly play an important role in the life course of the growth heroes,and have a certain role in shaping.It is worth noting that in Bi Feiyu’s works,there are few positive guides but more negative ones,which makes the growth journey of the protagonist extremely bumpy and tortuous,resulting protagonist’s life road is often easy to deviate from the normal track and go astray.The initiation story of Bi Feiyu’s novels has rich theme connotation.First,Bi Feiyu uses the description of the hero’s initiation story to reflect the long-standing and widespread phenomenon of urban-rural antagonism in Chinese society,and reveals his reflection and sorrow on this phenomenon.Second,when writing the growing process of the protagonist,Bi Feiyu always pays attention to human beings and explores the true meaning of human nature.He not only affirms both the glorious and warm characteristics of human nature,but also deeply explores its dark side,aiming to warn and persuade human beings to learn to restrain evil thoughts,making the kindness and tenderness last forever in the world.Third,through the setbacks and tribulations experienced by the protagonist in the growth process,these stories reflect the survival predicament faced by people of different times,genders,and ages,and gives them humanitarian care.Bi Feiyu’s growth writing has certain uniqueness,but also has some limitations.On the one hand,Bi Feiyu is good at telling the growth stories of young people in different times.He also writes about many characters who are physically and mentally handicapped and died early,showing the great influence of social environment and the times’ atmosphere on their growth.At the same time,the writer also noticed the constraints of family ethics on the growth of the protagonists,the psychological character of women and their survival difficulties,which makes his growth writing have certain personality characteristics.On the other hand,the excessive exaggeration of the harsh growing environment and the character and psychological defects of the protagonist exposes the limitations of the writer’s writing about growing up to a certain extent.
