短篇小说一直是小说文体更新的最初动力,现代小说的滥觞即是以短篇开始、以长篇形成高潮的。自《狂人日记》始,中国现代短篇小说就逐渐形成了尖锐的追问姿态、灵活的文体形式、深邃的审美视界和凝重的国族情结。尤其是。在对二十世纪中国的城乡二元格局进行表现的过程中,中国现当代短篇小说形成了以隐喻结构负载社会关切并进而描述中国社会城乡转换的叙事传统。二十世纪中国艰难曲折而又充满悖论的城市化进程在这一模式下显得波谲浪诡,意涵深远。二十世纪九十年代以来,随着城市化进程的加快,大量的农村人口急剧向城市转移,描写农民进城主题的短篇小说逐渐成为主流。尤凤伟、刘庆邦、陈应松等都有许多佳作问世。这些小说多关注农民进城后的艰难生活和对淳朴乡村的美学想象。农民进城后变成城市堕落的道德生活的同谋者或者抵抗者,这些作家都在有意无意渲染这样的主题,通过这种视角作家们展示的是现代都市文化的种种病症和传统农民文化的落后性。尤其值得注意的是,在这种叙事模式下,城市生活被涂染成充满陷阱的沼泽地,乡村生活则是难以返回的失乐园。无论是城市生活场景还是乡村生活画图都 Short stories have always been the original motivation for the renewal of the style of novels.

Since the 1990s, with the acceleration of urbanization, a large number of rural population have been rapidly transferred to cities. The short stories describing the theme of peasants going to cities have gradually become the mainstream. You Fengwei, Liu Qingbang, Chen Yingsong so many masterpieces come out. These novels pay more attention to the hard life of peasants entering the city and the aesthetic imagination of simple rural areas.
