中国左翼文学的产生是一种国际现象

The Origin of China's Left-wing Literature Was an International Phenomenon

中国“左联”的成立和无产阶级革命文学的发展,是在国际大背景下发生的。1930年,“左联”成为“国际革命作家联盟”的中国支部。这是一个重要的标志。而最直接的原因还在于:中国“左联”是中国共产党领导的革命文艺组织,中国共产党受命于第三国际的领导。由第三国际倡导并成立国际性的作家团体,促使在中国也成立相应的组织,这是非常重要的组织指导系统。而中国本身也具有无产阶级革命文学的星星之火,鲁迅和茅盾在这个组织里发挥了重要的作用。1934年以后,“左联”和国际革命作家联盟的联系已经中断,交流和指导非常困难,但有文献材料证明,这时“左联”和国际的联系改为由“文总”出面。总之,中国左翼文学的产生是一种国际现象。

It is an important indicator that the League of Chinese Left-Wing Writers became a branch of the League of International Revolutionary Writers in 1930. Its direct cause was that the League of Left-Wing Writers was an organization of revolutionary literature led by the Chinese Communist Party, which was under the leadership of the Third Comintern. It was because the Comintern initiated in organizing international writers leagues that the Chinese Communist Party was encouraged to set up relevant organizations in China too. This process demonstrates how the network of organizing leadership worked. The movement of left-wing literature and art was international, well organized, and well led. Besides these external factors, more importantly, there were already sparks of the proletarian revolutionary literature in China. Lu Xun and Mao Dun played crucial roles in the movement. The connection between the League of Left-Wing Writers and the League of International Revolutionary Writers broke off after 1934, so, it was difficult for the League of Left-Wing Writers to continue any exchange or get guidance. In summary words, the emergence of the Chinese left-wing literature was an international phenomenon.
