The Beat Generation%on the road%literature%influence
"The Beat Generation" is a particular social phenomenon which appeared in America after the Second World War.Some young people pursued spiritual happiness, but gave up making efforts because of the hurt from the war. Most of them were very poor, but still wanted to find the meaning of life. "Beat" is not only a superficial action, but their spirit. "On the road" not only means people drift aimlessly, but also alludes a surreal pursuit in life. The beats are on the road-searching for a way out, searching for spiritual freedom. They are on the road cheerfully, and show their strong consciousness to the world. "The Beat Generation" is regarded as an important branch of the post-modernism literature and history of American literature.
