In the 1990s, the work began to take a step forward. After all, ten years have passed, and the grievances are almost the same, so Jia Pingwa's "Waste Capital" was born. In this era, keen scholars have discovered something new. Seeing this kind of thing will definitely bring us a new self-awareness, which is the personal "desire".
From enlightenment to social strides, desire is an important driving force. During this period, Yu Hua's brothers also wrote topics related to desire. Although the turmoil of desire has brought prosperity, scholars have also seen complications, that is, hidden dangers of mental health.
So they left the countryside one after another and began to write about the so-called prosperity of urban desire. Although Jia Pingwa's "The Waste Capital" is an urban theme, we can also see that the so-called "mainstream spirit" of the times began to surge in "The Waste Capital", which is the discovery and affirmation of desire. I don't know if the author is blindly following, and it seems that he has not fully adapted to the city, so he feels that Xijing is like the urban-rural fringe, and the urban theme has a rural way of thinking.
Through the emotional entanglement between the protagonist Zhuang Zhidie and many women, we can see that this asymmetric interpersonal relationship comes from the worship of identity, which is obviously a bit of narcissism of literati and lacks equal relationship with urban identity. In many works of this era, they have lost the impulse to write epics like Chen and Lu Yao, and completely lost the concept of time.
This is a way of writing stories in space, in which the feeling of the body replaces the thinking of the soul, and time is ignored to express the confusion and pain of this desire sinking in depth and detail, which is a concept lacking in the history of novels in previous decades. Since 1990s, they have seen the irresistible social reality brought by this commercial culture, which is the stubborn disease of desire.
Stories about people and the country in previous decades were flat, and now people's desires are written like a bottomless pit. There are still many omitted squares in the text, and some scenes can no longer be expressed in words, which can only be left to our readers to imagine.
In a sense, The Wasted Capital brings us a kind of spiritual consumption. The author has never made any contribution to anyone, and has completely returned to the novel itself. If the Enlightenment resumed in the 1980s, the 1990s may be the real starting point of the novel.
