Research On Father's Image And Father-son Relationship

Children of the Moneybags is a great novel as milestone in Chinese modern literature. However, research on the novel is not sufficient, and only focusing on Jiang Chunzu, who live away from family and had done his battle of live bravely. On the contrast, as to one of major characters, the research about feudal parent, Jiang Jiesan is little. The humanity in the image is very great, not a autocratic, cruel parent and father. So the critical frame stemming from trend of the May Fourth. His humanity, his relationship with children and his influence on them, are the very core content that I want to discuss and describe mainly. His end is tragic and necessary to history. And his sons living away from family is progressive. The paper praises the humanity of Jiang Jiesan, denying the feudal family system, whose destroy is precipitated by young people. Jiang Shaozu and Jiang Chunzu's behavior is meaningful as the bud of the Modernity and their life is just opposite to the feudal family system.
