Chronicle of a Blood Merchant abandons the grand enlightenment narrative,focuses on individuals in the secular life,and writes the survival attitude of ordinary people in the absurd world with a cold style.The deep analysis of absurd circumstances,the unverborgenheit of the folk reality and the expression of life consciousness in tribulation in this work all imply the subtle influence of existentialism on the author.At the same time,the work awakens the memory of national suffering and sings the song of folk lives in its excavation of existentialism.
