摘要: 莫言《红高粱家族》中有两个相对独立的小故事——耿十八刀和成麻子的故事。这两个貌似对“主故事”完全不起作用的“宾故事”,一方面对《红高粱家族》主题起到平行说明效果,即强化了“轮回思想”与对英雄的“荒谬化”描写;另一方面也是对《红高粱家族》主题的补充,即对民间生命激情局限性的深思以及关于在某种制度下人的“动物化”的思考。这两个小故事有着与《红高粱家族》相左的主题,即体现了生命力的局限性与社会现实对生活的最终决定作用。

Abstract: There in Mo Yan’s Red Kaoliang Family and two relatively independent minor stories——the story of Gen, the Swordplay 18 and that of Cheng, the Pockmarked. The two “Subtheme stories”, seemingly producing no effect on the “theme story”, exert a parallel explanatory effect on the theme of Red Kaoliang Family on one hand, on the other they are a complement to the theme at that. In fact they serve as a ponder over the limitations of folk life passion and a consideration about the human “animalization” under a certain system. The themes of the two minor stories conflict with that of Red Kaoliang Family, i.e. they manifest the limitations of the life force and the decisive function of social reality to life.

Key words: Red Kaoliang Family, Mo Yan, “subtheme story”, Gen, the Swordplay 18, Cheng, the Pockmarked
