Revolutionary Narration Of Harbin Enveloped In Darkness From The Perspective Of Post-revolution

Harbin Enveloped in Darkness,a revolutionary history novel in the context of“post-revolution”,was written at the beginning of the new period and exerted a profound influence.It not only follows the narrative style of previous revolutionary history works,but also demonstrates the narrative characteristics of the “post-revolution” period.The novel is based on the period when northeast China was occupied by Japanese army and Manchuria was founded and the unyielding anti-Japanese campaigns were conducted by the Northeast Underground Party.The presentation of real historical scene lies in both the historical background and the characters’ behavior,manifesting the spirit of the actual record and epic characteristics that write revolution and reflect the real history since the left-wing literature period.While inheriting the spirit of the actual record that emerges in the previous revolutionary history novels,it also breaks through the intellectuals’ artistic convention of rarely or never writing revolutionary novels,thus realizing the specific narrative practice of revolutionary history from “source of story” to “story” in the new history.Like the revolutionary narration of Chinese revolutionary history novels since the left-wing literature period,there are some reflections on Harbin Enveloped in Darkness,between “revolution and love”,between “person and history”.In the previous revolutionary literary works,the “love” and “person” in the “little ego” dimension were either stigmatized or blanked,and could not show the power of real dialogue with “revolution” and “history”.But Harbin Enveloped in Darkness,a revolutionary history novel in the new social and historical context,conducts a new narrative representation of contradiction and conflict between “revolution” and “love”,“person” and “history”.The “love” and “person” in the“little ego” dimension no longer absolutely yield to the “revolution” and “history” in the“large ego” dimension,but demonstrate the conflicts between “love and revolution”,“person and history” in the overall narration of revolutionary history,which realizes the emerge of revolutionary history in the context of “post-revolution” and reconstructs the contemporary significance of revolutionary history.Harbin Enveloped in Darkness is very popular because of its full of tension characteristics of the revolutionary history narration,and has been adapted into dramas,storytelling,radio plays,comic strips,TV series and so on.The TV series released in 1984 and 2008 respectively carry out a cross-media transformation of their revolutionary narration in the context of “mass culture” and “consumer culture”.The first edition is based on the “the trend of Harbin Enveloped in Darkness” set by the broadcast text.It is a fusion of writtennarration,sound narration and video narration,and a successful attempt to make revolutionary narration in the novel move towards the “big screen” as well.The second edition transforms and reconstructs it in a fashionable manner,according to the context of consumer culture.Revolutionary history begins to present a whole new narrative feature that blends the main theme with mass culture.Harbin Enveloped in Darkness,a revolutionary narrative practice and mass reproduction from history to novels and novels to TV series,is also a typical manifestation of some common symptoms of revolutionary history narration in the“post-revolution” period.
