余華《兄弟》出版後，各界批評多著墨於其暴力與色情書寫，本文則細究其對文革與改革開放後各種社會文化現象的詮釋，進一步剖析余華對人們如何面對與承受文革暴力的理解，以及經濟飛速發展、大國崛起的現況表象下，更細膩、縝密運作的商業邏輯如何與人性起化學作用。余華在探討以上議題中所呈現的社會關懷，實已超越其《活著》等前作，對於當代中國的人文價值與人的主體性，別具一份深切沉痛的省思，故為文探討之。

After the publication of ＂Brothers＂, the public criticized its violence and pornography. This article is a closer look at Yu Hua's interpretation on the Cultural Revolution and the variety of social and cultural phenomenon after the Cultural Revolution. It also analyzes Yu Hua's opinion on how people face and withstand the Cultural Revolution violence, and how the more delicate, careful operation of business logic and humanity interact when China's economy develops rapidly and rises to be a great power. Yu Hua's exploration of the issues presented his social care in ＂Brothers＂. In fact, ＂Brothers＂ has gone beyond ＂Alive＂ and other previous works, because it contains a deeply painful reflection on the contemporary Chinese humanistic values and human subjectivity. This article will focus on these.
