赵树理在建国前的小说创作中,通过一系列性格迥异的“外路人”形象的塑造,展现了一个为绝大多数作家所忽略的基于地缘矛盾而产生的农村世界,为农村题材的小说创作开辟了一个新的维度。然而,赵树理本人对此却似乎并不自觉,以阶级分析为主流的时代语境限制了赵树理本人对这一世界的继续开掘,同时也使这一世界同文学叙述擦肩而过。 In the novel creation before the founding of the People’s Republic of China, Zhao Shuli displayed a rural world based on the geographical contradictions ignored by the vast majority of writers through a series of images with different personalities. Creation opened up a new dimension. However, Zhao Shuli himself does not seem conscious of this. The contemporary context of class analysis has limited Zhao Shuli’s continued digging into this world and at the same time has made the world pass the literary narrative.
