Abstract:
The narrative patterns of Repeating in Children in the Eating Melon Age and I Am Not PAN Jinlian reveal the absurdity of human existence. However, the artistic limitations of the novel have not attracted enough attention. The characters in the novel have the tendency to symbolize, simplify and "take it for granted". At the end of the novel, the tragedy of the protagonist is replaced with a comedy of another group of people, which has a relatively strong pessimistic color and weakens the realistic critical edge of the work. The two novels reflect LIU Zhenyun's achievements and shortcomings in the localization of Western literary resources, and have certain enlightening significance for the creation of contemporary Chinese writers.
