South-West Associated University, as a provisional institution in the period ofthe War of Resistance Against Japan, which brought together a large number ofChinese elite intellectuals at that time. They had made great contributions on theInheritance of the anti-Japanese War and the national culture of the Chinese nation.These articles with the subject of “South-West Associated University” included richhistorical data and a variety of literary narratives in different narrative perspective.Literature was a writer for the reprocessing of life, it combined the authors ownindividual experience, the autogenesis of the relationships of the individual and theera, and so on. Its contents were rich and colorful and expression was vivid. If weappreciated the literary works on the basis of understanding the real life and state ofmind of the intelligentsia in the historical context, we would be able to betterunderstand selection in the writers’ perspective, and to better know the shaping ofcharacters in the works.The lengthy series of novels of “The Wild Bottle Gourd Directs” were created byZong Pu in the new period, who was being looked on the lives of previous generationwith full of poetry as a younger generation. She affirmed the value judgments andemotional orientations of intelligentsia in a positive attitude, and shown themagnificent images of several generations of intellectuals for us. It was different from“Mio Otani Song”,“Fortress Besieged”,“Wu Zixu” and other literature narratives indescription of angle, which were all created at that time. Some selected only thebright side, some selected only the ugly side, some used the past to insinuate thepresent. However, by their literary narratives, we could be conscious of theirunderstandings of individual and era, and their attentions of the social and humandestiny in different ways of themselves. According to the comparative analysis ofcharacter images between different works, we could also see that figure imagescreated by different writers were different, though they were all the literaturenarratives about South-West Associated University. Compared to other literary works,“The Wild Bottle Gourd Directs” especially created a batch of “capital” images of intelligentsia. They were the models of intellectuals, who had the attitude of rigorousscholarship research and the consciousness of independent critical, cared for the fateof their nation and loved home. The causes of the literary imagination were due tothe experiences of Zong Pu herself and the gradually shrinking of the images ofintelligentsia at the time. In “The Wild Bottle Gourd Directs”, Zong Pu reaffirmedintellectual value by the “capital” images of intelligentsia.Zong Pu looked back into the past by novels, and designed novels throughhistory, that history was her unforgettable experiences, the personages of the novelhad their prototypes. As the author had poured so much love to the characters,meanwhile, she combined her ideals and pursuits, so the shapes of the charactersgot certain limitations and deficiencies.
