Yan Geling is good at exploring human nature in power relations,and his works fully explore the hidden power relations between history and reality,East and West,men and women,and cities and nature.Yan Geling’s works on the theme of war have opened the distance from war and actively reflected the spirit of the people’s resistance to power violence.In addition,she added the elaboration of heroism and the description of people’s life after the war,and re-examined the core of war while excavating complex human nature;In the narrative of the "Cultural Revolution",Yan Geling’s writing has undergone a transformation from a historical perspective to a humanistic perspective.Her works not only express the existence and suffering of human beings under extreme political discourse power,but also reveal the distortion of human nature.As an immigrant writer,she often writes the image of immigrants who are struggling to survive in the gap between heterogeneous cultural contexts and have no refuge in the conflict between strong culture and weak culture;On the other hand,Yan Geling is good at showing the reality that women are often in a "weak" position and "aphasia" position in the field of gender power and patriarchy,and revealing their identities as victims and victims.At the same time,the writer pays close attention to the survival and fate of vulnerable groups such as homosexuality in the mainstream society with delicate brushwork,and observes the inner feelings of these "marginalized" characters;In recent years,several urban novels written by Yan Geling reveal the symbiosis of urban civilization and evil,and the annihilation of human nature by material power desire.The ever-expanding desire to conquer makes human beings extend the tentacles of power to nature in an attempt to dominate everything.Yan Geling has a keen insight into the influence of ubiquitous power on people and society,and snoops on the evolution and operation of power mechanism.When writing about power relations,Yan Geling is also trying to explore the possibility of resisting the power mechanism.The characters in the novel make unremitting struggles with the power mechanism with their own philosophy of life and ways of doing things by publicizing their tenacious vitality,releasing their reasonable lust,awakening their personal consciousness and expressing their personal words,and rejuvenating their most authentic human nature.At the same time,they also reach an alliance with the weak,resist and dispel power with the help of love and ethical spirit,and subvert the binary opposition between the strong and the weak.Therefore,we can see the evil human nature of the characters in the works,and we can also hear the vivid and powerful life tremor.By writing about the expansion and infiltration of power,the writer shows a critical attitude towards the evil roots of human nature,and explores the path of character development while caring for the vulnerable groups and speaking out for the marginalized groups.Generally speaking,Yan Geling’s all-round power critical writing is a cultural practice of respecting human nature,pursuing power equality and cultural diversity.
