Rationality and Madness of the"Alienated"World:An Interview with Bi Feiyu,Winner of Mao Dun Literature Prize
Journal of Shanghai Jiao Tong University(Philosophy and Social Sciences Edition)presents the column of"High-level Interviews with Renowned Writers".In this issue,the interview focuses on Bi Feiyu,Chairman of Jiangsu Writers Association and winner of Mao Dun Literature Prize.By comparing the differences between his novels Welcome to the World and Massage,Mr.Bi points out that Welcome to the World delves more into the present,portraying alienated individuals and their interactions with the world,revealing the concealed rationality and madness behind them.In contrast,Massage brings the dark world of the blind into the sunlight,showcasing their dignity and resistance.Mr.Bi,in his creative process,emphasizes the subjectivity of narrator,addressing the conflicting relationships between individuals and power,as well as individuals and society.His creative work,in tandem with the phased development of Chinese literature,consciously undergoes a transition from historical narratives to a more contemporary approach,aiming to more effectively capture the essence of China.Mr.Bi believes that regardless of the attitudes of the external world towards classical literature,literature driven by inner conviction is less likely to be completely influenced by the external world.
