China is being involved in the global economic system day by day. As one part of the social structure of China, the city's radioactive function to development of the entire society is more and more obvious, and the metropolis life style is being advocating by more and more people. In such background, the narrative texts of contemporary metropolis themes have unceasingly inflated, the metropolis literature research obtains more and more attention in academic world, and metropolis texts in the history of modern Chinese literature are also reexcavated, which provide a lot of good materials for the research of present metropolis literature and culture in China. The image of"metropolis"starts from the"May 4th"period and constitutes the development vein of Chinese modern metropolis literature, by way of descriptions in different angles from the left wings, the Beijing School, the Shanghai School in 1930's, adding metropolis narration of the popular literature writers in KMT-controlled area in 1940's. It can be said that the"metropolis"is an important integrant part of Chinese modern literature narrates. There are a lot of in-depth researches on the Beijing School and Shanghai School (here refers to the New feeling of 1930's), and the metropolis works of the New Shanghai School in 1940's. By comparison, the metropolis novels of Left-wing writers need more researches, because it is short of passion in academic world for a long time. It is partly related to the creation style of the metropolis novels of Left-wing writers, and partly because of the way to determining the nature of Left-wing literature by most of the academicians, in which the academicians are accustomed to relate the Left-wing literature to politics by reason of its sharp politicized tendency. For a long time, however, on the problem of relationship between literature and politics, people used to discussing politics just on"politics"itself, or mechanically make them to be in opposition, which results into not-objective evaluation and even misunderstanding on Left-wing literature. This paper does not discuss the issue of the relationship between the whole Left-wing literature and politics, but focuses on the metropolis novels of some Left-wing writers, such as Jiang Guangci, Ding ling, and Mao dun, and compare them to the New feeling texts to analyze the characters'categories, characteristic style and narrative patterns of the Left-wing Metropolis Novels, based on text analysis. On this basis, this paper insights into the special characteristics of the Left-wing's metropolis novels under the influence of the ideological discourse environment during the late 1920s and early 1930s, and analyze it from the perspective of political culture. It would be some kind of supplement to present studies on metropolis novels. That is the main purpose of this article.
