Contemplation And Reflection Of Political Realities

Mr. Zhou Meisen is one of the most remarkable political writers in today's literal world. Once known as a writer adept at creating historical novels, since the 1990s, he has changed his style from appreciation of history to realism of political problems. The series of his novels after he changed his style uses the means of realism to depict the reform progress of china today; to concern the development and progress of the times; not only to praise people devoting to the reform cause , but also to face the contradiction of the political system and the pain of the reform, to point out sharply the problems existing nowadays as well; to carry forward the lofty and beautiful, castigate the mean and ugly, sincerely eulogize the reform and opening to the outside world, and meanwhile criticize and turn over to think the corrupt dealings of social life. His political novels express the magnificent and profound reality; they reflect the politics, but do not act as a handmaid of it; they expose the corruption but are not confined to power; they deeply expose the reasons for corruption under the current system by depicting, portraying and criticizing the characters. It is especially noteworthy that his political novels are full of the strong sense of problems: to mercilessly criticize the false achievements of an official, to appeal for the reform of the political system with deep feeling, to strive perseveringly for the administration of the country by law and to show profound concern for the weak. On the whole, his novels are characterized by a distinctive feature of the times and radiate with realistic light. But, naturally on the other hand, his novels also have their own obvious blemishes, which mainly include the fading value of artistic appreciation, the rough way of the narrating art ,etc.
