From"Self-Immolation"to"Self-Help":Map Expansion and Imaginary Construction on Yu Hua's Wen Cheng
The clue-inspired voyage in Wen Cheng is close to a secular pilgrimage with melancholy overtones,and the three different pilgrim subjects have missed their destiny forever due to the misalignment of their initiating dynamics.As a psychological landmark internalized by Yu Hua,the memories of eastern Zhejiang,with Haiyan at its core,reappear by sinking into the surface of history,giving rise to a new quality of mutation and an imbalance of gravity in the north-south pattern of the text space.After the failure of the official discourse,Xizhen,which is emotionally maintained by rural communities,has acquired the nature of a civil community.Yu Hua tries to put forward a kind of constructive cultural imagination which is located outside the established creative map through the reiteration of Chinese family myths and local ethical norms.However,the validity of this vernacular imagination is questionable under the deconstruction of factors such as popular inertia and modernization.
