Mo Yan "frog" the greatest shortcoming of the political tragedy written in the fate of tragedy

What is a "political tragedy" and "the fate of the tragedy"?
Must first be defined the concept of political tragedy and fate tragedy
Fate tragedy: the cause of the tragedy is unknowable, mysterious, tragic hero pushed by the fate of the ending of the booking irresistible. Because of this, the fate of the tragedy is not possible with the manpower to overcome them, and reflect on the tragedy is invalid, meaningless. Example: "Oedipus the King". Oracles can not be changed.
Political tragedy: a specific period of human error is the cause of the tragedy of the ruling party's major policy failures cause of the tragedy is known. Therefore, a reflection of this mistake, remember the history, lessons learned, and to avoid the recurrence of similar tragedies, is not only possible, but necessary.
Chinese contemporary history is full of political tragedy, the Great Leap Forward, the anti-"right" and "Cultural Revolution" is the most typical political tragedy. Several political tragedy spread to a large number of people, including politicians, intellectuals and ordinary people to make their lives full of suffering, deprived of thousands of lives. But this tragedy is definitely not from the mysterious fate of tease, not a hero's personality dictates, but human error. The powers of the Group is the main manufacturer of this political tragedy.
Mo Yan's "Frog" in the political tragedy written in the fate of the tragedy, the most typical.
"Frog" is a performance of family planning novel, but as a novel, it is not the policy of family planning preach, but reveals the tragic fate of the family planning policy to the people, the power of art of the novel of the fully embodies the tragedy written Heartbreakers, thrilling reflected in the moral judgment of simplification is not the work of the people, reflected in the author's compassionate feelings. Works almost all the characters are victims, regardless of the full implementation of the family planning policy, rural women abortion aunt forced pregnancy all day (this looks like The Untouchables, the hard-nosed, but in fact a very virtuous), or a large number in order to keep the child The desperate struggle of farmers (they are certainly more worthy of sympathy), although the irreconcilable, but not a bad person, they are good, they did have their own sufficient reason.
Novel fully embody the artistic talent of Mo Yan's clever structure, compact refining the text, written also relatively modest (no other works of the kind of endless problems).
Nevertheless, we still have to ask: Since we are not wrong, that in the end is who is to blame? How so many people in such a tragic fate caused? Is it a twist of fate? Is it impossible to find out the reasons, inexplicable tragedy of fate?
In my opinion, the biggest problem of this novel is in no questioning caused all this social and historical roots, a political tragedy or social history of tragedy written in the fate of the tragedy: no one is responsible for this tragedy, if it is that everyone is difficult escape the fate. Began to become a tragic family planning policy in the eighties, and 60 years from the New China, the Communist Party of China, especially in the early days (1949-1953), especially Mao Zedong's birth policy mistakes: to encourage fertility. After a period of time, China's population policy is full of repeated, not conscientiously implement the scientific fertility policy. This is the root cause which later led to the population explosion got out of hand, is also a variety of mandatory birth control, abortion, abortion tragedy fundamental reason.
But regardless of the characters in the novel or of this any minimum Reflection, nobody seriously considered why Victim, in the end, who manufacture the tragedy. Results on the significance of the novel loses political critique (rather than moral compassion).
The author tries to reveal the real problem, but in the end it avoided the real problem. Mo Yan said: "my" frog "by describing the aunt's life, both shows decades of rural reproductive history, and forthrightly exposed images of chaos on contemporary Chinese fertility problems. Confront sensitive social issues is my writing since has consistently adhered to the Cry of the literature or to be concerned about the problems of the people, concerned about the suffering of the people, the fate of the people. sensitive issues are always the most concentrated demonstration of human nature, always allow the character rich three-dimensional. "( "frog", 343), I believe that the author's original intention is good, I very much agree, but unfortunately, the social history of the tragedy for political reasons because the author did not ask family planning, therefore, whether the tragedy has been described how tragic, the result is still the political tragedy written in the fate of the tragic human tragedy, social problems finally boils down to issues of religion and human nature inexplicable.
Toward the abstract humanity and religion, so it's not surprising to religious redemption ending of the novel. Of wrote: "listen to the end of a frogs - on behalf of Postscript finished this book, have eight characters pressing heavily in my mind, that is: the others guilty, I am also guilty." Others guilty I am also guilty. "This is quite a Christian meant repentance and self-examination, seems to embody the author's deep self-reflection, self-play, self-confession. But I have to say is: this self-confession should not be overdone, that is not their own sins should own bear (Not to mention that there is the presence the hypocritical and show ingredients), otherwise it will cover up, let the real responsibility . The tragedy caused by China's family planning policy is not a human tragedy, not religious tragedy, no need of repentance and salvation in the Christian sense, here is a reflection of political responsibility.
