From "Unknown" To "The Giant"

Since the new period,the interpretation of Xiao Hong by the modern literary research community has gone through a huge turn.Different from the research on judging Xiao Hong upholding a single political standard before the 1980 s,researchers in the new era have explored the rich connotation of Xiao Hong's works from a variety of perspectives,such as Enlightenment,stylistic narrative,cultural criticism,and feminism.However,behind the seemingly rich research,there is an imperceptible trap.Under the impulse to correct,the research in the new period has shown a completely opposite tendency to depoliticization,and it simply emphasizes those personalities in Xiao Hong's works.Factors completely negate Xiao Hong's nation-state writing.This overkill approach has led Xiao Hong's research to a "biased" state.No matter whether it is a nation-state or an individual,the emphasis on a certain aspect cannot truly explain Xiao Hong's full charm.This article attempts to talk with the above two ideas at the same time,and puts forward the concept of "the unknowns".The complex process from "unknown” to " famous ",especially the important driving force of the original survival instinct in the transformation,explores the uniqueness of Xiao Hong in writing the theme of the nation state and class.The first chapter of the thesis first proposes and explains the meaning of "the unknowns".They are the majority hidden behind the revolutionaries / heroes.They have no name,and their identities are ambiguous.They should have been closely connected with the revolution,but the contrary.They are either passively on the fringe of the revolution or actively detached from the revolutionary discourse,maintaining an "irrelevant" relationship with politics.Sections 2 and 3 demonstrate and excavate the living conditions of this group,that is,the concrete manifestation of "unknown".Under the force of historical inertia,they have lived a muddled,"life for death" life,opposing opposition including revolution Everything that does not conform to the norm;but at the same time,a stubborn primitive vitality is also bred in it,and this is the important impetus for this group to move towards "famous"-becoming "Chinese" or "proletariat".force.Chapters two and three discuss the process of this group's "famous" from the perspective of nation-state and class,respectively,and explore the uniqueness of them from the mainstream.The first chapter of Chapter Two discusses the awakening of the nation-state consciousness of this group.Faced with the Japanese invasion and persecution,this group of "ant-like stupid husbands and wives" suddenly wakes up,with a sense of self-identity.Clearly acknowledged that as a "Chinese",he entered the anti-Japanese front and became a "giant" fighting for the survival of the nation.However,in this process,there are a lot of things that cannot be accommodated by mainstream discourse.The work in Sections 2 and 3 is based on detailed text analysis and comparative research with other left-wing writers.These heterogeneity factors.Especially in the third section,they discovered the important impetus of primitive vitality in their transition from "unknown" to "famous" and questioned their motive for awakening.The third chapter explores the uniqueness of the group described by Xiao Hong from the class perspective.Unlike the reaction in the national revolution,the group described by Xiao Hong was able to stand on the road to resist Japan and save the country as a "Chinese",but it was difficult to understand their class identity.They had the concept of a home country but lacked a clear class consciousness.The result is that the characters in Xiao Hong's works are difficult to awaken in the face of classoppression.This is another important difference between Xiao Hong and other left-wing writers.
