In the history of chinese literature,a kind of novel specifically describing land reform appeared.It concentrated in the 40's and the50's as well as the 80's and the 90's of the 20th century.Although the novels of two time periods all described the historical event—the land reform in the 40's and 50's,the history in their description was utterly different.As the experincer of the land reform movement,it's difficult for the writers of the 40's and 50's to shake off political influence.their works shared something in common:the promotion and praise of the rural land reform;shaping the characters mainly by the model of setting two opporite sides;the narration using a model of a three-step description,that is the station of the land reform group,the assembly of complaining and criticizing and the finance sub-float.However,writers of the 80's and the 90's view history in the point of literature.Form the perspective of reflecting on history and reviewing the historical events,they creat a characteristic writing of the history.That's to say,the purpose of writing focused on the deconstruction and subversion of the original historical events,the contents were mainly about the mining and reduction of human nature and history,and they show their irony and joking attitude in their writing.Facing the same historical events of the land reform,the writers of two times creat two completely different image of the literature.This phenomenon is worthy thinking.Due to the diversity of history,we can't assert which description of the writers in the two time periods was more real as a spectator,for history should be constituted of different voices.As a recorder of the history,the writers should make use of the multi-angle perspectives and complex writing form to shape the historical events.It's hoped that in the pluralistic open and free context,literary can bring in-depth thinking and understanding to history itself as well as the development of the literature itself.
