Brief introduction to the novels of canglang water

The novel Water of Canglang tells the story of Chi Dawei, a graduate student of traditional Chinese medicine in the 1980s.

The Water of Canglang is a novel by Yan Zhen, a contemporary writer in China. It was first published in Contemporary 200 1 No.4 and No.6, 200/kloc-0.

From the perspective of the spiritual vision and living space of the protagonist Chi Dawei, Water of Canglang shows all kinds of contradictions, conflicts and entanglements faced by China intellectuals at the end of the 20th century. The novel criticizes the power of official-oriented culture and the harm of power worship, exposes the illusory truth and transcends the mode of ordinary officialdom novels.

Through the description of Chi Dawei's persistence in mental breakdown, Water of Canglang reflects the contradiction of intellectuals sliding between morality and desire and the mental pain of self-anesthesia, and embodies the author's grief and helplessness that cannot be saved because of the decline of social humanistic spirit, as well as the depression and anxiety caused by the failure to establish new humanistic ideals.

Analysis of male protagonists:

Chi Dawei, a graduate student who graduated from medical college, was enthusiastically assigned to the Department of Health as the first master student in the department or as a training object.

Guided by his father's Sketch of Cultural Celebrities in Past Dynasties in China, he supported patients who came to the front of the hall to beg for money, and enthusiastically suggested that the health department reduce the number of buses. However, he was transferred to the Chinese Medical Association, with no post and no right, and stayed away from the power center of the health department for many years.

Finally, Chi Dawei put aside the principle of life that he once insisted on and tried his best. After he came to power, he also wanted to do something practical for the people. However, he found that he was so weak in the face of tough realistic rules, even though he had mastered considerable power. In order to maintain what he has now, he still has to yield to the realistic rules, otherwise he will have to resign and even officials will have nothing to do.

I can't say such an easy sentence "stand up and be a man". Gong, the new comer, had some personality of Chi Dawei, and finally Chi Dawei transferred him out. A person who goes with the flow, facing the real society, has become extremely realistic and has no way to examine his soul.
