Dai Houying's novel Ah,Humanity! is an important work in contemporary Chinese literature that addresses the topic of the Cultural Revolution, with a core concern for ''humanitarianism''. Previous studies have analyzed this work from various perspectives, including humanitarian issues, narrative style, trauma writing, and the portrayal of intellectuals. This paper, however, will return to the writing and narrative methods of the novel, exploring how the discourse in Ah, Humanity!represents the history and collective memory of the Cultural Revolution. This paper argues that the roles of intellectuals in Ah, Humanity! present multiple facets of memory regarding the Cultural Revolution. Whether from the generation that directly experienced the Cultural Revolution or from the post-Cultural Revolution generation, these roles exhibit different historical experiences and narrative positions. Furthermore, Dai Houying employs a narrative technique of ''cacophony,'' creating a phenomenon of polyphonic sound within the novel. The narrative function of the ''novelist'' character also enriches the novel's rhythm, plot development, and character portrayal, presenting a multi-layered discourse structure. |
