Sincere Pursuit - On The War During The Hu Feng

Hu Feng stepped into the literary world as a left-wing literary theoretician, where he pledged steadfast devotion to the revolutionary literature. He opposed to the soulism, which is inconsistent with the theory of revolutionary literature. On the other hand, he criticized the creative tendency towards the vulgar mechanism such as formulism and objectivism in the revolutionary literature.Among the criticisms to these literary proposals, Hu Feng formed his unique literary theories, namely the realism theories, which consist of four aspects: â‘ the theory of realistic subject ;â‘¡the theory of realistic dialectics; â‘¢the theory of subjective combat spirit; â‘£the theory of mental enslavement hartThe development of Chinese present-day literature has gone through several influential charges.
