他的幽默和超然的笔意并不遗漏苦楚的现状。他对不幸的生活的描绘颇为耐心,有时残酷到我们难以接受的程度,但他却从这苦痛里跳将出来,把国人庸常的触觉路径改变了,直指灵魂的深处。他的小说的乡土元素越多,而且在残酷的拷问里,悲悯的情感越浓。这是建立在中国哲学、宗教基础上的悲悯,而不是建立在西方哲学和西方宗教基础上的悲悯。 His humor and detached writing does not miss the status quo. He was patient, sometimes brutal, to the extent we were unacceptable, but he jumped out of this pain and changed the ordinary tactile path of his countryman to the depths of his soul. The more native elements of his novels, and the more sympathetic his feelings are in the cruel torture. This is compassion based on Chinese philosophy and religion, not sympathy based on Western philosophy and Western religion.
