쓰여진 것과 쓰여지지 않은 것(1) －루야오(路遙)의 문혁 서사를 중심으로－

Abstract

This paper analyzes the memories and narratives of the Chinese Cultural Revolution in the novel The Heart-Wrenching Scene by the Chinese contemporary writer Lu Yao(1949∼1992), and what it cover and hide in. Lu Yao created this work based on his own experiences as Red Guards and Rebels during the Cultural Revolution, and contained his impressions and reflections on the Cultural Revolution. Interestingly, throughout Lu Yao’s life, he rarely mentioned the Cultural Revolution outside of this one piece, which can be understood by linking it to the impact of Rebel experiences on key moments in his life. It would be a meaningful work to analyze what he wrote and what he did not write about the Cultural Revolution in his novels. In addition to the fact that Lu Yao’s submission and publication of this novel The Heart-Wrenching Scene in the magazine Dangdai Bimonthly was not very smooth. This is partly due to the socialist realism that he insisted on throughout his entire novels, and partly due to the differences with the flows that revealed the ‘scars’ of the Cultural Revolution narrative at that time. We will also reflect on what was ‘written’ and ‘unwritten’ in the history of Chinese contemporary literature by retracing the ‘phenomenon’ that Lu Yao later marginalized in the history of Chinese contemporary literature.
