乡村召唤与现实政治需要之间的两难——论赵树理20世纪40年代末至50年代中期的创作困境

To Answer the Call of the Country Life,or to Meet the Need of the Political Reality?:On Zhao Shuli's Dilemma as a Writer between Late-1940s and Mid-1950s

被树为“赵树理方向”以后的赵树理面临着更多的矛盾和冲突,写于20世纪40年代末的《邪不压正》受到简单化的粗暴批评,而写于50年代初的《三里湾》则在时代的政治任务与他本人的乡村观察之间存在着较大的缝隙。这种深层矛盾终于通过他的一封私人通信作了较为直接的披露。

After being labelled as a sample writer, Zhao Shuli seemed to be faced with more contradictions and conflicts in his writing. His Never over Good Can Evil Prevail, written in the late 1940s, simply received rude criticisms, whereas another novel The Sanliwan Village, published in the early 1950s, displayed but a great gap between the then political demands and his personal observation of the country life. The profound contradictions are frankly expressed in one of his private correspondence.
