摘　　要：本文是对80年代曾经轰动一时的长篇小说《晚霞消失的时候》的重读。这篇充满争议的小说提出了一系列在今天看来仍然具有重要意义的理论问题,如理性和感性的关系,文明和野蛮的关系,宗教宽恕与世俗惩罚的关系,等等。作为一个时代有代表性的知识分子群体的代表性作品,《晚霞》依然是值得我们重视的,它体现了七十年代末、八十年代初知青作家思考和书写"文革"时难以摆脱的模式:对具体社会历史问题的抽象化、哲学化、道德化处理。这种模式体现了典型的知青思维,不但在当时的知青文学中很典型,而且在其他"文革"题材小说中也普遍存在,即使在今天也有很大的市场。This paper is a rereading and a reinterpretation of Li Ping＇ s once sensational novel When the Afterglow Disappears pub- lished in the 1980s. The novel raised quite a few theoretical questions which are still significant, such as the relationships be- tween reason and sensibility, civilization and barbarism, religious forgiveness and secular punishment, etc. As the novel is a rep- resentative work of a representative intellectual group in an important period, it deserves critical reflection. The novel presents a pattern of thinking among the ＂Zhiqing＂ （Educated Youth） writers, and they tended to treat specific socio -historical issues in an abstract philosophical and moral way when thinking and writing about the Cultural Revolution. This typical pattern in ＂Zhiqing＂ literature still prevails in current thoughts and culture.
