Imagining of Jiangnan Watertown and Local Characters'Writing——Rereading Yu Hua's Novels in the 1990s
In the 1990s,Yu Hua continued to publish three novels,Cries In The Drizzle,To Live and Chronicle of a Blood Merchant.The stories are constructed in the spatial field of Jiangnan water towns,and the images of rivers,ponds and drizzling rain participate in the emotional experience and life span of the characters.Yu Hua subverts the traditional family ethics in his novels.His characters have lost the protection of their parents and the love of their brothers,but they find the warmth of life outside the family and stick to"love"in the suf-fering of growth.Desire is the symbol of the subjectivity of life.By writing about the strong appetite and vigorous sexual desire of the characters,Yu Hua shows the persistence of the small people in the face of the oppression of the time and fate.
