Study on Survival Changes and Subject Construction of Migrant Workers in the Process of Urbanization——A case of Tales of Xi He and Luo Shan
In the process of urbanization,farmers have become migrant workers by moving to find work in cities,and they are also faced with various changes in economic conditions,social status,values and so on.Therefore,it becomes a proposition worth exploring how to complete the identity identification of and the subject construction in cities.Taking Xi He's work in Xi'an as a clue,Jia Pingwa's novel Tales of Xi He and Luo Shan vividly demon-strates the changes in the survival of migrant workers and the evolution of their spiritual appeal over the past 40 years.The author has written briefly about the wealth claims and emotional attachments of the first generation of mi-grant workers in the 1980s,such as Xi Tengkong,the father of Xi He.But,after all,he is ultimately a manual la-borer,unable to guarantee his own safety.After the 1990s,it entered the market-oriented context and the entrepre-neur era.Even though Xi He changed the same fate as his parents and survived through scheming,he also strug-gled with materialistic desires after his human awakening.As the development needs of urban-rural integration has grown in demand since the start of the new century,he has gone from being a marginalized temporary resident to a new immigrant in the city.Away from the simple enlightenment perspective and suffering narrative,Jia Pingwa tries his best to explore the subjective consciousness of migrant workers in different times based on the folk point of view.In addition to paying more attention to existing issues of survival,he has also shaped the image of migrant workers in the new era who have completed the leap in social class,so as to provide reference path and something worth pondering for urban-rural integration.
