Abstract

Wang Zengqi's novels are widely used in educational textbooks and people's daily cultural life because they are close to life and have a simple style of writing.There are not only local customs containing the beauty of tradition, but also the trauma and pain hidden in daily life.Researchers have found that there has been significant progress in the study of suffering in Wang Zengqi's novels, but the study of suffering from the perspective of children is still lacking of unified induction and interpretation.Therefore, this paper focuses on the concealment and poeticization of suffering and trauma from the perspective of children in Wang Zengqi's novels.From this point of view, this paper will explore his suffering writing from three aspects: the trauma concealment technique, the poetic path and the poetic narrative paradox in his specific works.Finally, it summarizes the essence of Wang Zengqi's good use of children's perspective, reconstructs the value of human nature through childlike innocence, and provides a new scheme for writing suffering.
