The Representation Of Spiritual Crisis

The urban writing of the "Post-80s" writers reproduces the spiritual crisis of current urban life in many aspects,especially the depiction of loneliness,disillusionment and alienation is the main symptom of this kind of spiritual crisis.The rapid changes of cities,such as the expansion of new urban space,the acceleration of living speed,the development of media society,the fixed and rigid life process,all make the sense of loneliness pervade in the urban writing of the "Post-80s" writers,which makes the characters’ self-identity into crisis.At the same time,the relationship between the individual and the city has also encountered difficulties,the good illusion of the city is shattered after the experience.In addition,the intimate relationship between people in the city has also changed,disillusionment,alienation and disappearance of love,affection and friendship have become the symbol of the breakdown of intimate relationship.The "Post-80s" writers are looking for the solution when they narrate the spiritual crisis of the city,the growing memory becomes the outlet of empathy,relieving the spiritual problems,escaping from the city becomes a kind of behavior after encountering the spiritual crisis,refusing the city to express the attitude of resistance to the city,and hiding into the heart becomes the final false compromise.The urban writing of the "Post-80s" writers,starting from their own personal experience,reflects the writers’ concern for the current urban life and their understanding and response to the spiritual crisis,it also conveys a spiritual crisis on its own level.Their writing shows the complicated,deep and painful side of city’s emotion and spirit,but also shows the feeling of powerlessness and confusion,and lacks the courage to face the spiritual crisis.
