摘要
余华在《第七天》中以“死者漫游”的超现实叙事重构了当代文学的死亡书写范式，通过诗性书写将残酷的荒诞现实与温暖浪漫的虚构乌托邦作为观照生命的棱镜，余华依托杨飞的灵魂在现世与彼岸之间徘徊行走，在荒诞中洞见真实，在模糊的时空转换中展开对生存苦难的审美转化，透露出对黑暗现实的抨击和对生命的悲悯情怀。中西不同的亡灵文化基因通过《第七天》在当代中国文学场域里进行创造性熔铸，在存在主义的哲学维度上赋予“向死而生”新的文学内涵。死亡不再是生命的终结，而是剥离世俗遮蔽、追问生存本质的起点。底层生命的坚韧与希望在诗性建构中绽放出永不熄灭的火焰，以生存哲学照亮现代困境，缝合现实裂痕，揭示哲学乌托邦在生死帷幕下的诗学魅力。

Abstract
In The Seventh Day, Yu Hua reconstructs the paradigm of death writing in contemporary literature with the surreal narrative of “the dead roaming”, using the cruel dystopian reality and the warm fictional utopia as the prisms for viewing life through poetic writing. Relying on Yang Fei's soul, Yu Hua wanders and walks between the present world and the other side of the world, gaining insights into the real in the dystopia, and launching aesthetic transformations of existential suffering in the ambiguous transformation of space and time, revealing an attack on dark reality and compassionate feelings towards life. It reveals an attack on the dark reality and a sense of compassion for life. The different cultural genes of the dead in China and the West are creatively fused through The Seventh Day in the contemporary Chinese literary field, giving new literary connotation to “life after death” in the philosophical dimension of existentialism. Death is no longer the end of life, but the starting point for stripping away the secular obscurations and inquiring into the essence of existence. The resilience and hope of the underlying life blossom into a never-extinguished flame in the poetic construction, illuminating the modern predicament and sewing up the cracks of reality with the philosophy of survival, revealing the poetic glamour of philosophical utopia under the curtain of life and death.
Key words： Undead wanderings; Virtual mirror image of reality; Fusion of East and West; Existentialism; Poetic justice
