随着五四时期以来西方女性思潮的涌入、女性文学写作文学积累，以及二十世纪九十年代经济转型，女性作家获得了追求个体私人化叙述的文化语境。这一时期部分的女性作家选择将视角聚焦在尚未成熟的幼女或少女身上，通过描述她们的成长经历以展现女性在生长过程中所面临的困境与挣扎。同时作家利用私人化的书写方式，使得女性隐秘的成长经验外显。然而在该类成长小说中，女性角色普遍面临灵与肉的不对等情况。小说中人物性意识的苏醒及性的自觉探索所表露出的“成长”迹象，与其成长过程中因典型精神家园的缺失而造成的内心封闭现象形成了矛盾。因此她们都未完成传统成长小说中的“成长”，从而形成了一种“成长夭折”现象。本文以陈染、林白、徐小斌及虹影四位女性作家的成长小说为例，深入研究其中女性角色所面临的成熟肉体探索欲望与精神层面失落的困境，从而探究女性视角下“成长夭折”主题的书写方式。

In the 1990s, with the economic transformation, the influx of Western women's thoughts, and the accumulation of women's literature writing since the May Fourth period, female writers gained a cultural context that pursued personalized narration. During this period, some female writers chose to focus their perspectives on immature young girls or girls, portraying the difficulties and struggles women faced in their growth in society by describing their growth experiences. At the same time, they used personalized writing methods to make women's hidden experiences explicit. In this type of growth novel, women face the inequality between spirit and flesh, which is manifested by the awakening of sexual consciousness and the conscious exploration of sexuality, which contradicts the phenomenon of character inner closure caused by the lack of a typical spiritual home during the growth process. Therefore, they have not completed the typical "growth" in growth novels, resulting in a phenomenon of "premature growth". This article takes the growth stories of four female writers, Chen Ran, Lin Bai, Xu Xiaobin, and Hong Ying, as examples, to study the dilemma faced by female characters in their desire to explore mature physical bodies and spiritual loss, in order to explore the writing style of the theme of "premature growth and death" from a female perspective.
