Glad to see you again in this cafe. Truest you had a great vacation.
这一段特别耐人寻味: “崇高意象都从当代文学中剔除了,当代文学只有“反英雄”,这个时代的英雄形象以及一切“正面的”、“有正义感的”、“正直的”意象只在新闻报道、商业精英传记中出现
I can't agree more. Who to blame?

我党的统一思想之后,百花奇放是自然的。Nobody to blame but our single-minded Great, Glorious and Self-righteous Party. :)
“正面的”、“有正义感的”、“正直的”意象还在,正在逐渐长大成熟。这些意象将逐渐成为普通人的做人常识,而不再成为人的目标。不再值得天天喊,简单地喊,在文学里喊。中国的社会良心在不断出现,中国将向西方社会的成熟靠拢。

This is not just a Chinese phenomenon. It applies to Western literature as well. In fact it started in the west. Someone said it started from Mark Twain. China did not follow the trend closely, partly because of the Party's monopoly and control. After that control was removed or began to be removed in the 1980s and 1990s, it is pretty much a Chinese phenomenon too.
Here is what I recently read in Ezra Pound's essays: "Most good prose arises, perhaps, from an instinct of negation; is the detail, convincing analysis of something detestable; of something which one wants to eliminate. Poetry is the affirmation of a positive, i.e. of desire, and endures for a longer period." He seems to still believe such positive feelings in poetry, even though not in prose anymore. Such nobility perhaps only exists in classical French novels, like in Hugo. Perhaps a little in Dickens times too. But in modern novels, they are not there anymore. That's where my question originated. Who to blame for such a lost in prose.
I'm not even sure if positive images still dominate in modern poetry. Have we reached a point that we may start feeling sick of the negation and look forward to positive again? If not, when will we reach that point? Or is it a one way road, and we already reached the point of no return? - xd好!posted on 11/28/2003
