Reflectivity in Yu Hua’s novels – A point of view from an individual life

Tóm tắt

Among the novels by Chinese writer Yu Hua, individual life is not simply an individual challenge but, through his works, he also implied several issues of life in a whole society. With a straightforward and harsh reflective viewpoint, Yu Hua constructed an intermixed reflection with different forms:living reflection, human characteristic reflection, nationalistic reflection, realistic reflection, philosophical reflection... His reflection helped the readers “re-thinking the past”, turning up the old history’s pages full of blood and tears as a debt for both the writer and the readers to pay back at this present time.
