Zhao shuli is the first writer in modern Chinese literature who devoted his life to the creation and exploring of the literature which is enjoyed by peasants hierarchy. His literature career is a valuable subject, but the"Zhao shuli direction"can't be deemed as the essence of his literature career. Through his literature career, Zhao shuli explored such kind of fictions which are rooted in rural area, subjected to people's livelihood, based on public opinion and have a folk-custom style. While according to those parts in his literature which can be used as policy advocacy, the"Zhao shuli direction"is proposed in accordance with the spirit of the Speech by those who hold the mainstream ideology and political utilitarian standpoint, following the"Socialist Realist"creation method. To investigate the difference and relation between"Zhao shuli direction"and Zhao shuli's literature career will make the value of his literature thinking highlighted and reveal his personality.Zhao shuli's literature career includes not only the process of his creation but also the practicing of his literature thoughts .And it features three aspects such as standing on public opinion, being subjected to people's livelihood, having a folk-custom style. Both times and his personal experience contributed to the formation of his literature thoughts.Analogously, the formation of"Zhao shuli direction"results from objective factor and subjective factor: first, came into force in his times, and was advocated exceedingly, which played an important role on affecting the literature and art creation in Chinese liberation area. Second, there is likelihood between some parts of his literature and the viewpoint of the Speech. Through the figure of"typical rogue"in his fictions, it can be seen that there is a substantially difference between his literature thoughts and the viewpoint of the Speech.After his entering into Beijing, there was a struggle in his literature creation, literature theory and cockles of his heart, showing"Zhao shuli direction"is seemingly in harmony but actually at variance with his literature career. During this period, according to his literature theory, it appears on the one hand that the writer refused to accept the reorganization of mainstream opinion. The analysis of"atypical landlord"in his literature reveals the variation between"Zhao shuli direction"and his literature career on the other hand.After 1958, both Zhao shuli and"Zhao shuli direction"kept their distance with each other. In his personal life and literature creation he still held his ground in that vain time.Although he expressed his public opinion standpoint politely by all means under the more and harsher language circumstance, he is doomed to the recession of creativity in the inner and outer dilemma. The"Indirectly expressed"in《Duanlian Duanlian》demonstrates both the actual situation in rural area and his austerity state of mind.Compared with Liu qing and Hao ran's literature and literature theory, the value and meaning of Zhao shuli's choice in literature and life can be showed clearly. Through the comparison and analysis of rural grass-root cadres depicted in three fictions on agricultural collectivization, we can see the different choices in literature made by three writers.
