乡村知识分子一直是新时期以来小说创作及精英知识分子关注的盲点。赵德发从一个写作者的知识分子立场,呈现了这一特殊群体的生活真实和精神场域的真实。他从文化与人生方面关注乡村知识分子的存在方式,书写他们的身份挣扎,书写他们带着隐痛与坚韧的生存困顿。他能通过乡村知识分子虽卑微却又执着存在着的良知、美德和坚韧,使作品中潜藏着人生飞升的希望。 Rural intellectuals have always been the blind spot in novel writing and elite intellectuals since the new era. Zhao Defa, from a writer’s intellectual standpoint, presents the real life and spiritual realities of this particular group. He paid attention to the existence of rural intellectuals in terms of culture and life, wrote their identities and struggled to write about their drowsiness and tenacity. Through his humble yet persistent conscience, virtue and tenacity, he can hid his hopes of a soaring life in his works.
