The "412" Incident In Chinese Modernnovels

On April 12,1927,Chiang Kai-shek betrayed the national revolution,in Shanghai brazenly launching a counter-revolutionary coup,in response to the Communist Party of China.Even he did the revolutionary masses of the great arrest,massacre so that the dead and wounded are difficult to count,called "412" incident.After the incident,along with the spread of the "Removing Party" movement,Chiang Kai-shek in Nanjing set up a separate representative of the interests of large landlords and great bourgeoisie "national government" to split Wuhan coalition government.Until July 15,Wuhan’s Wang Jingwei Group betrayed the revolution,arrested and slaughtered Communist Party members and progressives.So,the Kuomintang cooperation was fully breakdown,meaning the great revolution waged by the Communist Party of the Kuomintang failed.After the failure of the great revolution,literary creation followed up quickly,and a large number of novels with this event appeared.Because of the different positions of writers,there is a huge difference in the narrative of this event.From the point of view of political standpoint,writers can be divided into left-wing writers,right-wing writers and intermediate writers.The different narration of the 412 events by these three kinds of writers contains rich political and ideological connotations,and also shows different styles and pursuits in art.The "412" narration of left-wing writers mainly focuses on the "412" incident to the "918" incident before and after the occurrence,and this stage reflects the failure of the great revolution narrative has three main types: reflecting the failure of the great revolution,the massacre of revolutionary violent narration,and the failure of the revolution caused by the intellectual "disillusionment" narrative,derived from the"disillusionment-pursuit-disillusionment" circular repetitive narrative structure form;the revolutionary’s struggle for resistance is manifested in the collective protest narration of workers and peasants and the revolutionary individual protest narration with the color of "Nothingness Party",which represents the hope of proletariat.After the beginning of the local anti-Japanese war,the "412" narration in the novel decreased,but these works not only are the violent massacre narration encountered by therevolutionaries,but also reflected on the revolutionary side of the revolutionaries in the process of trying to understand and subvert the traditional ethical concepts with the modern political structure.The narrative of the failure of the great revolution is written by left-wing writers or as a novel background,or provides a historical logic,projecting the deep meaning of the writer "national satire",and the growth of the individual is doomed to be unable to divest with the collective,grandiose changes in political history.One of the reasons why they use masking and indirect performance of the "412" incident is that this bloody event lasts for a limited period of time,and in the novel can only be the existence of a plot so that it is difficult to become the main body of the narrative of the novel;The second is that the Kuomintang authorities set up a strict newspaper censorship system,which limits the writer’s creation;The third is that although writers have experienced the times of the great revolution and participated in the revolution,the propaganda,writing and other peripheral work they are engaged in are difficult to reach the core of the political melting pot.There are very few writers who know something about the intricacies of the struggle within the camp,so only a limited revolutionary imagination can be carried out in the narrative of the novel.The "412" narration of the "intermediate" writers embody the concern for the historical reality of the failure of the great revolution through the perspective of liberal intellectuals,because the relatively vague political position reflects respect for the complexity of history,not only for the "revolutionaries",but also for the"non-revolutionaries" and "rebellious revolutionaries" do not belittle.Its creation shows all kinds of tendencies that writers focus on from "people in the collective" and"political attributes of people" to the real sense of the individual,from "political issues"to "human problems",from the pursuit of "the truth of historical details" to the pursuit of "historical spirit and the reality of human nature"."The 412 narration" of right-wing writers,which writes "stigmatizing" to the proletarian revolutionary movement and its revolutionary figures,explains the rationality of the existence of the Nanjing National Government established through the massacre based on the view of Taoism history.These creations are confined to the narrow perspective of political party struggle,focusing on the choice of anti-communist theme and revolutionary plus love narrative mode,which not only lacks the modern secular life color,but also lacks aesthetic and ideological value.But the few narrative works of right-wing writers objectively supplement and enrich the literary landscape of"412" narration because of their "heterogeneity".The narration of the "412" event by writers of different political positions makes the "412" narration in modern novels pluralistic.This multivariate narration is an empirical study of the "412" incident in the past modern literature research only as a single position writer written by a particular image of the parochial nature.Comparing the "412" narration of writers with different positions,it is found that they have similarities or contradictions in creative style,character image shaping,narrative structure and language rhetoric.Today,after nearly a century,the "412" narration in modern novels is put forward again,and its significance lies not only in the re-knowledge of the historical truth,but also in the resumption of the significance of the study of literary history.Taking stock of the failure narration of the great revolution written by the writers of different positions,the hooks interpretation of the texts which were neglected and obscured by the ideological statutes and the narration of the mainstream revolutionary history in the past is a useful supplement to the narrative of the literary history,but also provides a new perspective for us to reflect on the history through the complex connotations contained in the failure of literature narration.
