| We try to explain Han Shaogong and his articles from the status of a public intellectual, I belive that is a valuable subject.The three chief features of a public intellectual is the independent status, having the rationality and the critical spirit. Having the independent status means that one can surmount the general interest relations and the rational spirit is the premise of the critique. The critique is a public intellectual’s important behavior characteristic. It is the most main standard to recognize a public intellectual. In chapter one of this article, we first comb the concept and the characteristic of the public intellectual simply. Then, we inspect Han Shaogong’s status of a public intellectual. Finally, we have a conclusion that Han Shaogong has experienced a denial of a denial developing process. And it was "the Great Cultural Revolution" and Hunan university students’student strike movement in1981that made his status transformed. Therefore, Han Shaogong gave up the science subjects, and began to learn the liberal arts. He transformed from one who was ambitious into a natural scientist like Newton for a writer and public intellectual.The critique is the key character of a public intellectual. Han Shaogong’s critique mainly manifests in two aspects:Self-criticism (Namely to criticize the intellectual community) and The signifying society criticizes. In addition, Human nature, literature ideological trend, economy, ecology, three agricultural questions, and history and so on, also once integrated the scope many times which Han Shaogong criticizes. All kinds of critiques are not isolated, but are organically fuses in together, which pass through the entire literary production of Han Shaogong.In chapter three, we read the novel "Echo" and the prose "The Root of Literature" attentively, which are the two important works of Han Shaogong. The creation of "Echo" has huge influence on Han Shaogong’s thought. In "Echo", Han Shaogong not only mixed his experience with the history which remembered, but also successfully completed the historical critique of The Famers’Revolution such as An Q’s. He reflected his behavior and idea in "the Great Cultural Revolution" deeply. It makes us know the complex of The Famers’ Revolution and have an idea of the initiation relations of the intellectual and the farmer. And while "The Root of Literature" brings the reputation for Han Shaogong, it also lets us see the essential features of Han Shaogong as a public intellectual. In this article, Han Shaogong criticizes the tendency that the culture’s westernization (or the literature’s), which has huge echo in the circle of thinkers at that time. We attempt to see the elegant manner of Han Shaogong of a public intellectual, through treading these two articles attentively.Studying Han Shaogong, the relations between him and the countryside is inevitable. He has the rich village life experience, More importantly, His creation centers on the countryside from beginning to end. This also manifests in the relations between him and Mi luo Ba Jing of Hunan province. The significance of Ba Jing for Han Shaogong is similar to Lu Zhen or Wei Zhuang for Lu Xun. As a city person and intellectual, Han Shaogong met the township twice, which cannot use the destiny to explain. In fact, all these were his choice. The reason is worth to study seriously. In chapter four, we try to discuss the behind attempts of Han Shaogong’s choice, and study the influence on his literary production and the thought development through combing his two experiences in Ba Jing.At last, we will make a simple appraisal on Han Shaogong’s status of a public intellectual and his fulfillment. From the significance studying of "The Han Shaogong phenomenon", and to compare with Long Yingtai, Zhang Ming, Han Han, Saied, and Chomsky and so on, we try to discuss Han Shaogong’s influence of a public intellectual on The Contemporary China literary area, thought and society. Then we may see the influence on his creation as a public intellectual. |
