‘文革’時期知識靑年的文化生活與寫作道路

Abstract

Educated youth has moved to the countryside or mountain areas according to Mao Zedong's call during the Great Cultural Revolution. But because of birth there are three colonies including educated youth who has settled down in the countryside, educated youth who has gone to the Production and Construction Corps and educated youth from countryside back to countryside. And accordingly they have had different cultural life and formed different thought. As for literary writing, educated youth, gone to the Production and Construction Corps, has been systematically trained to write works according to state ideology; therefore they can well adapt themselves to the new state ideology after the Great Cultural Revolution. Educated youth, settled down in the countryside, has had more freedom to ‘peregrinate' and has enough experienced the folk life in rural China, which can help them to write literary works with folk factors. Educated youth, from countryside back to countryside, has been doomed to return back to countryside because of the unfair policy of state. This has resulted in their anguish and finally become their unique literary world. Key words: go and work in the countryside or mountain areas; educated youth who has settled down in the countryside; educated youth who has gone to the Production and Construction Corps; educated youth from countryside back to countryside; literary writing
