옌롄커의 ≪丁莊夢≫를 읽는 몇 가지 讀解法

Abstract

Yan Lianke is one of the most popular writers in the twenty-first century. Many of his literary works have won many awards and also have been translated and introduced into more than 20 countries and areas, such as Korea, Europe, and Japan. Having seen the realistic problems in rural areas, most of his works are based on his own personal experience. Expounds the unique insights. And this king of theme is mainly reflected in the novel Dingzhuangmeng(丁莊夢). Dingzhuangmeng is the first novel in China which uses AIDS as the theme of the novel, so it is of historical significance. The author describes AIDS and the psychological process of death caused by selling blood through this work. In particular, various desires coming from the condition of despair of the characters are displayed by his “神实主义” narration. His “神实主义” is mainly reflected in the narration of “dreams” and “deceased ghost”. Therefore, this thesis mainly uses “dreams” and “deceased ghost” as the clue. In addition, Dingzhuangmeng focuses on describing the various desires of human beings. Therefore, from the “interdisciplinary” perspective from the comparative literature, I use Maslow's “hierarchy of needs theory” to reveal its main connotation, mainly focusing on “material desires” and “lust for power” in the work as the research subjects. Specifically, because of the basic psychological needs those who get the disease after selling their blood still hold on to pursuing material. On the other hand, the buyers of the blood pursue fame and power, at all costs, longing for a higher level of life. I hope that this article can provide a new perspective for reading Dingzhuangmeng.
