美籍华人作家哈金,获得美国国家图书奖等多项大奖,引起了评论界广泛注意。其作品《活着》讲了一个发生在中国特定发展时期的故事。作者通过剧烈的时间和空间转移、记忆的丧失和恢复体现了复杂的人际关系,从独特的视角审视了人们的需要、欲望及婚姻悖论。特定的环境中,不丰满的人物更凸显出故事情节的离奇,起伏跌宕,小说结尾令人深思。 American Chinese writer Ha Jin, won the National Book Award and many other awards, attracted widespread attention of critics. His work “Alive” tells the story of a period of development that took place in China. Through dramatic time and space transfer, the author embodies complex interpersonal relationships through the loss and recovery of memory, and examines people’s needs, desires and marriage paradox from a unique perspective. Specific environment, not full of characters even more highlights the story of the bizarre, ups and downs, the end of the novel is thought-provoking.
