Abstract

The objective of this paper is to review and interpret the approach-avoidance conflict in the Chinese literature of rural migrants in the 1980s and 1990s. With the use of research methods such as close analysis and social criticism, this paper classifies and explains the writings on approach-avoidance conflict. As a result, the writings on negative function of approach-avoidance conflict are about the pain, confusion and sadness brought to rural migrants by approach-avoidance conflict, belonging to the works on theme of pain and anger. The writings on positive function of approach-avoidance conflict have the value of fable admonition, persuading rural migrants to make a difference. Therefore, it is concluded that the Chinese literature of rural migrants in the 1980s and 1990s is mainly about the approach-avoidance conflict, which reflects the social reality, breaks through the traditional understanding of the underlying narrative in literary conventions, presents the multi-function and multi-orientation characteristics of literature, and maintains the health of the ideological content of literature on the theme of rural migrants.
