This paper is mainly to study Sun Li's anti-Japanese novels,most created during the writer's first literary period ending with the birth of Tiemu Qianzhuano My research will also examine the publication of Fengyun Chuji in the 1960s.This is because the anti-Japanese theme is involved in most Sun's writings and among them his fictions has the most influence.The paper will attempt to break previous excluding studies,and create a wholly new study field by bringing Sun Li's literature into the history full of variations. The paper here mainly includes the preface and there passages:The preface will illustrate my research subject,the present study on Sun Li's literature,and the goals and methods of my paper.This part will bring our study strategies based on an analytical summery of the previous.Then the main body of my study is divided into three passages:The first part mainly concerns Sun Li's literary road.The first and second sections involve the origins of Sun's literature,the psychological basis of his literary style, including the balance between perceptual taste and reason.By examining the movement of One Day in Yi-zhong,the paper argues that the birth of Sun Li's literature results not only from a kind of taste but from the utilitarian nature of revolutions.On the present,we always pay too much attention to the first feather and neglect the second.The third section will continue the job of the first,and discuss Sun's classical literary interest and modem literary experience,which both explains the creation of Sun's anti-Japanese literature. Then the article further argues that Sun's literature shares similar verve with the literature in the Wei and Jin dynasty,though it varies for lack of the ontological realm of Tao.My work in this part is to study the history of people's life and souls.The fourth section mainly concerns Sun Li's confusions towards the existence of a human being,when he,as a writer,experienced the life during the revolution.These confusions firstly exist as the superficial ideology of Sun Li's literature,but later become transformed to an ethical narrative form after Sun presents them in his literature.Of course, Sun Li,as a revolutionary writer,bears close relations with the ideological narrative model. But more importantly,his writings are narrations of all kinds of patterns of people's life.In fact,Sun Li has formed his political concept after he wrote Fengyun Chuji in the 1950s. The revolution indeed plays an important role in Sun Li's life,and so his revolutionary start is undoubtedly associated with the national country.However,Sun Li's revolution begins much earlier than the grand narration.This revolution,like what some figures of Sun's fictions have experienced,firstly takes place in the field of marriage.So above all,it is a marital revolution.But the result of the maritalrevolution,specifically the failure of fleeing from the capital city,makes him experience the failure of a self-respected intellectual from the social bottom when he begins to enter into the social world.But the outburst of the war on some extend satisfies the double wishes of revolution both of marriage and of identity.But at the same time,it makes him fallen into a much deeper contradiction between the social reality and the life itself.Therefore,in this sense,Sun Li's literary creation symbolizes depression.And at last his disease can be viewed as a sign of his unbearable contradiction.The second part will mainly discuss female images,which is one significant phenomenon in Sun Li's literature.By the analysis of Sun's female figures,no matter whether he agrees,we find from these roles similar confusions when they become involved in the process of the modem country's construction,and similar tragic fate closely associated with the time.The article will study the historical context mainly through several figures,such as Wang Zhenzhong in Zouchu Zhihou,Shuisheng Sao in Hehua Dian,Huixiu in Zhong, Shuangmei in Cun Ge,Liulan in Kan Hu,Li Peizhong in Fengyun Chuji and Xiao Man in Tiemu Qianzhuan.We will base our historical findings on the analysis of the seven female figures.Here I will examine these figures under detailed historical context with the feministic method.So it is a trial to unite the literary research with the cultural research.In this part,I do not aim to study a certain female image,but introduce light to the true resistance of those people who are concealed in modem China's historical change by the ideological voice.Especially by the understanding of the two figures Li Peizhong and Xiao Man,I believe that Sun Li's ideal of female can be combined with his true concerns towards the female movement.So this part can be read in contrast with the first one.The third part is focused on the other important phenomenon in Sun Li's literature ------ his outstanding scenery description.It is the first time the article,on a large scale, cites the sparkling descriptive passages of natural scenes,which vividly present a true portrayal of the north rural area in the war.Moreover,the paper explains the feature of these descriptions and its complex correlations with the creative subject.Since Sun Li himself is one of the revolutionary army,his scenery descriptions are dominated by the revolutionary collective will.The article further clarifies the excluded quality of Sun Li's wrings in modem Chinese literature.I will combine this peculiarity with his unconsciousness of taking the base area as home,and read the third section of Fengyun Chuji as a classic text.Finally,by describing the great change of Sun Li's literature from the transparence like the wind of the locos lake to the complexity of the historical landscape,I will illustrate the deep influence of the revolutionary experience upon the writer.The paper will examine Sun Li's creations under the historical background of modem Chinese literature,and at the same time integrate the writer's life experience with the historical footsteps.I will give certain understandings not only of the writer and his living world,but also of the history as a whole.So in fact,by the example of Sun Li's literature, my study is trying to perceive the fate of the common people living in modem China.The paper draws on both western literary theories and traditional ways of evaluation.As to its achievement or shortcomings,I will appreciate views of every expert.
