| Abstract:The acceptance of Yu Hua's novel "Brothers" is complicated, the field of professional criticism at home and abroad is more controversial, and the opinions of ordinary readers are relatively convergent. On the one hand, based on the heterogeneity of the text itself, it is mainly manifested in the multiple time nature of realism, modernism and postmodernism, and the extreme exaggeration of narrative techniques; On the other hand, influenced by many factors, such as moral concept, media bearing, academic position, aesthetic concept, the differences of professional criticism are in contrast with the similarities of readers' comments, reflecting the return of "non-utilitarian reading", calling for literary criticism to pay attention to the value of "surface reading". |
