范小青在新世纪的创作一直关注底层人物的生活,其中一个鲜明的主题是现代人的身份焦虑。她表现进城农民工的身份被各种证件、方言口音、城市话语权所决定,难以获得城市的认同进而融入城市,处于深重的焦虑之中。她笔下的城市底层民众也经常陷入身份的尴尬与焦虑,比如因为名字、生日等问题的不确定而产生一种紧张情绪甚至虚无感。范小青在剥离了人生的表象后,努力以“寻找”为手段,为“无根的人”提供确证自我的途径。 Fan Xiaoqing’s creation in the new century has always been concerned about the life of the bottom people. One of the distinctive themes is the identity anxiety of the modern people. She said the identity of migrant workers entering the city was determined by various documents, dialect accent, and city discourse, making it difficult to obtain urban recognition and further integration into the city, with deep anxiety. The bottom-up people in her city are often embarrassed and anxious about their identities. For example, her name, birth date and other issues are uncertain, which creates a sense of tension or even nothingness. Fan Xiaoqing stripped the appearance of life, trying to “looking for ” as a means for “rootless people ” to provide a way to confirm themselves.
