A Profile of a Young Thinker——On the Writing of Disease in Chen Yingzhen's Collection of Novels The Generation of Generals
The collection of novels,The Generation of Generals,which is a vivid portrayal of young Chen Yingzhen's struggle to find the truth and a spiritual way out in the face of the repression of the times,records the complex process of his ideological and emotional agitation,the contradiction of his beliefs,and his final return to the path of the"left-wing".In the collection,the writing about diseases,including lung disease,cancer and mental illness,has become a logically self-contained representation of social problems and ideology.As a structural element of the novel's narrative,the metaphor of disease assumes the literary function of constructing an allegory of"socialisation of the body",realizing an effective connection between Chen Yingzhen's implicit political writing and artistic imagination.
