革命的理想人格:延安时期劳动英雄的生产逻辑

Perfect Revolutionary Personality: The Production Logic of Labor Heroes during the Yan'an Period

延安时期,中国共产党领导下的根据地政权通过选拔与塑造劳动英雄来动员群众生产。不同于传统的个人英雄主义,通过政治仪式的编排与操演,中共呈现的是英雄人物的群体形象,展示了共产革命的理想人格。劳动英雄的选拔与表彰属于共产主义革命的产物,具有中国特色的是对英雄人物的政治训练与调适,这也显示了塑造英雄的难度。同时,草根成长为英雄,英雄的神圣意义无疑已被现实生活所解构。全面审视劳动英雄在中共根据地社会动员中的作用,可以管窥英雄塑造对未来国家建设的多重影响。

During the Yan'an period,the Communist Party mobilized the masses to get involved in production through the selecting and making labor heroes. In contrast with those individual heroes in tradition,what the party had presented was a collective image of heroes,by means of the operation of political rituals,so as to demonstrate an ideal personality of the communist revolution. The making and glorification of labor heroes was actually the outcome of the communist revolution.And,with Chinese characteristics,the political training of heroes and their self identification simply left people in feeling the difficulty of hero-making. On the other hand,the sacred meaning of heroes would undoubtedly be deconstructed by the real life when people even on grassroot level could grow up to be heroes. A comprehensive examination of the role of labor heroes in the social mobilization in the communist base areas will facilitate our understanding of the multiple influences of hero-making on the present construction of this country.
