The Guard For The Peasants' Practical Benefit

Zhao Shuli is an intellectual who has unique styles in his works and pays much attention to the countryside in the Chinese literature history. Because of the influence of Sanjin Culture and the realization of the "reality" in the difficult existing condition, he devoted his life to the value pursuit for the "reality". During the self-introspection of the May-Four enlightenment culture, he wrote a number of works for pursuing the benefit of the peasants on their feet. In 1940s he was regarded as a "directioning" writer by the Main Social Ideology, so his differences in novels were screened contemporarily, but with the union of the Chinese Culture, "the works for peasants' benefit" differed greatly from "the works for politics". Undergoing the times of critics, he persisted in his characteristic as an intellectual to tell the truth to the officials; during the process of being put on the edge of Main Ideology and being ignored by the Authority, Zhao Shuli, an intellectual, persisted in thinking independently; his changes in style of writing in later period and transition to the reform of the plays that were easily accepted by the peasants both showed the consciousness of an intellectual social responsibility. During the social practice, Zhao shuli was really on the peasants' feet and spoke for them, this is the valuable and rarest spiritual values. Although his pursuit to the "reality" didn't reach to his dream, the alternation of the version and his expecting readers, the incapability of grasping of the "pointing" of his novels and the defeats of the intellectual and peasants "back to back" brought by the pursuing the popular literature made his novels' function of "reality" be suspected. So, Zhao Shuli's persistence in the intellectual value for "the peasants' benefit" made him be the unique example who paid attention to the Chinese countryside among the present and contemporary intellectuals. This kind of researchexceeded his own values.The version has two parts.

The second part analyzes Zhao Shuli's persistence in his values "for peasants' benefit" in the historical surroundings in the Liberated Area and after Liberation. And discriminates the differences between Zhao Shuli's values and the Main Ideology and his introspection and doubts in difficult position.
