《篡改的命》中通过讲述一个农民为改变自己“原罪”式的农民身份而付出的惨重代价,呈现并表达了作者对长期以来形成的城乡对立格局的深入思考。对于农民来说,其农民身份所指涉的不仅仅是自身的经济状况,更多是一种涉及文化身份及其认同在内的诸多方面的深层次问题。随着全球化时代的到来,这一问题更是同空间上的错综等级关系纠缠一起,因而也就越加显得复杂而多变。某种程度上,以几何数字的方式递增的全球化时代节奏,不仅没有带来文化认同差异的消弭,反而是持续发酵且愈演愈烈。小说中主人公汪长尺最后无奈的奋力一跳,其显示出来的正是这一悖论之所在。 In The Doctrine of Falsification, by presenting the heavy price paid by a farmer to change his “original sin ” type of peasant identity, he presents and expresses the author’s deep thinking on the urban-rural contradiction pattern that has long been formed. For peasants, the identity of peasants refers not only to their own economic conditions, but also to many more deep-seated problems involving cultural identities and their identities. With the advent of the globalization era, this issue is more entangled with the staggered hierarchical relations in space and thus becomes increasingly complicated and changeable. To some extent, the rhythms of the era of globalization, which are increasing in a geometrically digital manner, have not only failed to eliminate the differences in cultural identity but have been continuously fermented and intensified. In the novel, Wang Changru, the protagonist of the novel, struggled to the last resignation. It shows exactly where this paradox is.
