阎连科用文学创作表达了自己的独特思考与感受,即在当下如此复杂的社会环境中,对于健全人性的建构不仅需要尖锐的批判和鞭挞,而且更需要靠悲剧的力量来拯救和净化灵魂。阎连科的小说创作经历了由前期对乡民不无温情却不失批判意识的关照到对其品质的极度推崇,然而无论哪一种悲剧意识都是其作品一以贯之的东西。 Yan Lianke expressed his own unique thinking and feeling in literary creation. In the current complicated social environment, he not only needs sharp criticism and whipping on the construction of sound human nature, but also needs the power of tragedy to save and purify the soul. Yan Lianke’s novels experienced the warmth of the villagers from the early stage without losing the sense of critical awareness to the extreme esteem of their quality, however, no matter what kind of tragic consciousness is a consistent thing in his works.
