About This Novel
This book takes "Cities in Literature" as its theme and conducts research on urban expressions in literature during the "Seventeen Years" (1949-1966). Through specific text analysis, the ideological convergence process of conflict, adaptation, and differentiation between "socialist literature" and the capitalist "field" of "city" is examined, and then a literary expression of "socialist city" is explored. Although behind this expression lies the contradiction and inherent anxiety of "post-revolutionary" socialist ideology, it is an excellent perspective from which to analyze the legacy and lessons of China's socialism.
