Abstract:

The core of Wang Anyi's wiiting lies in seeking a kind of spiritual transcendence by experiencing and exploring ordinary life as well as contemplating and deconstructing contemporary culture. If we say this sideness in Wang' creative writing is to pay close attention to civil ideals and be devoted to experiencing or exploring ordinary, then, to cherish a humanist ideal, to stick to inarching in the spiritual world, and to contemplate and deconstruct contemporary culture, constitute her that sideness. This sideness and that sideness echo each other at a distance, sometimes geminating each other, and sometimes independent from one another, which makes up an extraordinary fiction - creating sight.

Key words: this sideness, that sideness, experience, contemplate, civil ideal, humanist ideal, ordinary life
