张承志的《绿夜》并不是一篇有意塑造儿童形象的作品,我们这篇讨论童年情结的文章首先提到它是因为它为新时期文学中的童年情结提供了一个鲜明的意象。在这篇作品中,主人公是一个长期在内蒙插队的知青,十年动乱后回到城市,但他很快发现,眼前的生活在很多方面已与他格格不入了,于是他想起插队时认识的小姑娘奥云娜。奥云娜只有8岁,纯洁、天真,象初升的太阳一样曾给他带来温馨和希望。带着对奥云娜的深深的思念,他终于离开城市,再一次走向茫茫的草原……寻找奥云娜,在新时期文学中怀有相同情感和意绪的並不只是张承志。莫言、苏童常用童年视角观察生活,字里行间流露出对童心世界的眷恋;汪曾祺、张洁常到童年的记忆中寻 Zhang Chengzhi’s “Green Night” is not a piece of work intended to create a child’s image.

Oyunna is only 8 years old, pure, naive, like the rising sun had brought him warmth and hope. With a deep miss for Oyunna, he finally left the city and once again headed for the vast steppe. Looking for Oyunna, not only Zhang Chengzhi is pregnant with the same feelings and emotions in the new period literature.
