Literature in the liberated area and national creation are inseparable. In the 1940s, adopting creative strategy which combined political revolution with cultural revolution, the Chinese Communists have integrated literature into the nation-building plan and turned their ideal for establishing a modern nation into reality. The paper will interpret the revolutionized process of the rural-life novels in the liberated area from the vision of revolutionary narration.The dissertation consists of six parts. The main contents are as follows:The introduction points out that national imagination provides a new perspective for the research on modern Chinese literature, of which the literature in the liberated area has a deep correlation to national imagination. In my opinion, the village image in modern Chinese literature is actually the projection of the modern national imagination. So the rural-life novels in the liberated area have been brought into the national creation scheme as the strength to push the door of the ideal for national construction.Chapter one inspects the environment which the rural-life novels in the liberated area has been formed. In fact, the national awareness is the product of national crisis for Chinese people. And It has become a top priority task to create a modern nation when confronted with grave national crisis since 1940s. Mao Zedong' literary concept to develop a modern nation has been condensed in "The Speech" .So the rural-life novels in the liberated area about the ideal to build a modern nation took on a new look in the literary system as the core of "The Speech".The second chapter explores different coping strategies and appropriate fate for the intellectuals restricted by "The Speech", in which Zhao Shuli, Ma Feng and Ding Ling represents separately different kind of writers. Zhao Shuli has become a cat's-paw of revolutionary ideology because his works tallies with the demands of the time, and the process that his works has been classified appears distinct signs of political speculation. Ding Ling' novels conceal her individual character under the regulation of the politics. While Ma Feng plays the role of the model revolutionary writer bred out by "The Speech".The third chapter discusses the narrative gist of the rural-life novels in the liberated area, in which revolution was a glittering term. The peasants who have been liberated pour into the historical stage as the social protagonist. And working women conduct themselves in the revolutionary career. Obviously, it is the grand political carnival ceremony for the peasants to celebrate their liberation in criticizing and denouncing the landlord at republic meetings. What's more, they have turned their daily lives into a stage to show revolutionary success.Chapter four analyses the aesthetic fashion of the rural-life novels in the liberated area. Aesthetic style has finally been presented through narration which contains a distinct ideology attributes. In the literature producing system as the core of "The Speech", faithful record and simplification has become the main narrative feature for the writer to relate revolutionary stories in the liberated area. Correspondingly, the novels appear on a realistic and bright aesthetic style.The conclusion argues that the rural-life novels in the liberated area should be treated with a rational and objective attitude. Moreover, several misunderstandings on the study of the rural-life novels in the liberated area are analyzed briefly.
