《波动》表达了“文革”后期青年人信仰的失落、对未来的绝望、对“文革”期间当权阶层的尖锐批判以及对社会环境的病理式解剖。根据这种思想意识,小说采用了第一人称叙事视角、多声部内心独白、意识流叙述手法以及晦暗、冷静、诗意的叙述语调。这些艺术形式与小说所要表达的思想意识之间既有共谋的支撑作用,更多的却是无奈的规训与抑制。 “Volatility” expresses the loss of belief in young people, the desperation of the future, the sharp criticism of the party in power during the Cultural Revolution and the pathological anatomy of the social environment. According to this ideology, the novel adopts the perspective of the first person narration, the multi-voice inner monologue, the description of the stream of consciousness and the dull, calm and poetic narrative tone. These art forms and the ideology to be expressed by the novel both play a supporting role in complicity, but more helpless discipline and restraint.
