The use of personal pronouns (I,you,he,she) in Gao Xingjian's Nobel Prize winning Soul Mountain has been severely criticized as "nothing but confusing" by such critics as Richard Eder in America. However, I do not agree with those criticisms. In this essay, I will make clear the nihilism in this work by analyzing some aspect of the use of personal pronouns, their ideological backgrounds, and the Taoism included in both the couse of the protagonist's search for "Soul Mountain" and the result of not reaching it. I will also shed light on the conflicts and space between Ego and Id, the quest for humanism through the continuous fusion of the author's modern view of human beings based on both modern European ideology and on traditional Chinese worldviews.
