70 novels in the 70 years of New China, constructing a new life in an imaginative way. The founding of the People's Republic of China has ushered the Chinese nation into a brand-new historical period. Corresponding to this historical period was a completely new change in literature. The most important feature of literature in this period is that under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, literature has become an integral part of the construction of socialist cultural space.

In the "seventeen years" from 1949 to 1976, after entering the Republic, the most developed and successful literary styles were revolutionary historical and rural novels.

01

Red writing, reaching an unprecedented climax

The literature of this period, with the exception of a few works that attempt to construct an "epic", is mostly works with elements of popular fiction. In particular, revolutionary historical novels, such as Zhixia's "Railway Guerrilla", Liang Bin's "Red Flag Spectrum", Feng Deying's "Bitter Cauliflower", Qu Bo's "Lin Hai Xueyuan", "Fire King Kong", "Behind the Enemy Lines", "The Legend of the Big Knife" and so on.

Liu Zhixia (1918-1991.9.30), a native of Weihui, Henan Province, was a famous writer in mainland China. During his lifetime, he left 4 million words of literary works to posterity, among which "Railway Guerrillas", which has swept a whole generation, has not faded to this day, and has been translated into English, Russian, French, German, Korean, Vietnamese and other eight languages and distributed at home and abroad.

After the publication of Liu Zhixia's novel "Railway Guerrillas", which took ten years to write, it was very popular.

The cultural identity of these works is the construction of national character in the form of legends. While continuing the narrative form and internal structure of legendary novels, they also packed new content, played a role in educating the people and constructing a new national culture, and replaced the entertainment functions of popular novels such as romance, martial arts, and detectives in the past.

The Red Revolution was a great event that swept the world in the 20th century, which created a great miracle in human history and also created literature and art that was compatible with it.

Red writing, or the creation of revolutionary historical themes, reached an unprecedented climax in that era, and five of the eight novels of the literary classic "Three Reds and One Creation, Baoshan Qinglin" in the 50s of the 20th century were the creation of revolutionary historical themes.

Liu Qing's "History of Entrepreneurship" is widely regarded as one of the most accomplished works of literary creation in the fifties and sixties of the last century. Through the portrayal of Liang Shengbao, Liang San, Guo Zhenshan, Guo Shifu, Yao Shijie and other characters, the novel answers the question of why the socialist revolution should occur in the countryside.

The most important reason why "History of Entrepreneurship" has been affirmed and praised is that it has created a new image of Liang Shengbao as a new Chinese farmer. Liang Shengbao is a natural "newcomer" in rural China, and he is a natural practitioner and leader of the "Toad Beach" cooperative movement. In shaping this image, Liu Qing mobilized almost all artistic means to show the quality, talent and charm of this newcomer.

Liang Shengbao is not the kind of peasant hero who is blind, brutal, hateful and helpless, he is a healthy, bright, vigorous, young and mature new farmer. In the process of resolving one contradiction after another, "History of Entrepreneurship" completed the imaginative construction and essentialization of China's new farmers.

Zhao Shuli (1906-1970), a native of Weichi Village, Qinshui County, Jincheng City, Shanxi Province, was a modern novelist, a people's artist, and the founder of Yam Egg Pie.

Zhao Shuli is a representative writer who nurtured and grew up in Mao Zedong's literary and artistic thought, and his "Sanliwan" is the first novel to reflect the agricultural cooperative movement, and is also considered to be "the earliest and large-scale excellent work reflecting the socialist transformation of agriculture on the mainland".

The novel narrates the contradictions and changes of four different families in Sanliwan in the early days of the cooperative movement, reflects the struggle of ideas and concepts in the reform of rural ownership, and shows profound changes in family, marriage and love, morality and other aspects.

Zhou Libo is a writer who spans the generations. From 1956 to 1959, Zhou Libo successively wrote the novel "Great Changes in the Mountains and Villages" and its "Continuation", which reflected the agricultural cooperativeization.

"The Great Changes in the Mountain Township" has achieved important artistic achievements, which is not only reflected in the novel to create several vivid and vivid images of peasants, and the depiction of the customs and customs of the mountain villages, but also shows the literary tradition, aesthetic taste and unique literary accomplishment that Zhou Libo has accepted.

Haoran's "Sunny Day" is the novel that best represents his creative style and artistic achievements. Through a series of contradictions and conflicts that occurred before and after the wheat harvest of the Dongshanwu Agricultural Production Cooperative in the suburbs of Beijing, the novel writes a picture of the fiery life in the period of agricultural production cooperatives, and praises the new characters and new forces that have grown up in the new life. The plot of the novel is complex and complex, the structure is complete and compact, the characters are vivid and expressive, and the language is simple and clear, showing distinctive artistic characteristics.

Although the novel inevitably has political overtones under specific historical conditions, it is commendable that it has created many simple and mellow peasant images and real and vivid backward characters.

Through these characters, Haoran expressed his strong belief that socialism will always be a "sunny day". Descriptive, narrative, and lyrical, the praise of socialism flows from the bottom of his heart, and the book is imbued with a spirit of optimism throughout.

02

An important work that expresses a new life

Since the beginning of the People's Republic of China, social life has undergone essential changes. How to express a new life is a huge challenge. This requires not only the writer to be familiar with and understand the content of the new life, but also to be familiar with the form and inner spiritual thoughts that express this life.

Through continuous study, exploration and specific literary practice, writers have written important works to express new life in different fields of life.

In addition to the above-mentioned themes of rural and revolutionary history, breakthroughs have also been made in themes such as cities, youth, and ethnic minorities in border areas. Among them, Zhou Erfu's "Shanghai Morning", Xu Huaizhong's "We Sow Love", Wang Meng's "Long Live Youth", etc., are the most representative.

"Morning in Shanghai" and "History of Entrepreneurship" have a completely isomorphic correspondence: although they have different themes and writing fields, they both try to completely and comprehensively express the difficult, tortuous and complex historical process and inevitable trend of China's urban and rural socialist transformation through literary form.

Therefore, this magnificent scroll is still a historical fable of nations and peoples.

Wang Meng's "Long Live Youth", with a high spirit of revolutionary optimism, shows readers the enthusiastic youth life of the girls in the early 50s of the 20th century, the growth experience of a generation of young people in that era, and the unique spiritual outlook of young people who grew up in the era of alternating between the old and the new: ideals, enthusiasm, and positive optimism about life.

The novel is filled with a warm and fiery atmosphere, permeated with a noble and pure mood, and reflects a brilliant and seductive ideal light.

The novels from the 50s to the 70s of the 20th century are the mainstream of expressing the life of the times in the form of literature. The revolutionary idealism, heroism, and optimism that flow and permeate it are not only a true reflection of life, but also the writer's construction of a new socialist life in an imaginary way.

Although it is simple, transparent and clear at a glance, the writer's understanding and imagination of the new life has constructed a socialist cultural space, affirmed the values of the times and the simple and fiery emotions of life, which is extremely moving.

When we reread these works, we sigh that these novels have become history, but not the past, and that they still play a huge spiritual role in our emotional lives.

Among these 70 works, there are "Defending Yan'an", "Lin Hai Snow Plain", "Red Rock" and "History of Entrepreneurship" that depict the historical picture scroll of the Liberation War, "Great Changes in the Mountains and Towns", "Sanliwan" and "Long Live Youth" that the broad masses of the people built New China under the leadership of the party, "Heavy Wings", "White Deer Plain", "Ordinary World" and "Dust Settled" that sought and rebuilt national cultural self-confidence after the end of the "Cultural Revolution", as well as "Outstanding Encirclement" and "Skywalker" that reflected the current situation of Chinese society and explored China's road after the reform and opening up. They have created a rich variety of Chinese stories, Chinese images, and Chinese melodies, and created a large number of characters that are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, which are deeply loved and welcomed by the people, such as Yang Zirong in "Lin Hai Xueyuan", Li Yunlong in "Bright Sword", and A Bing in "Secret Calculation". In the form of literature and art, they deeply reveal the great history, brilliant achievements and valuable experience of the People's Republic of China over the past 70 years, and will play a positive role in inspiring people to realize the "two centenary" goals and the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
