文学青年与作为职业的文学--从1957年“夏可为的来信”出发

The Literary Youth and Literature as a Profession——Starting from “Xia Kewei's Letter” in 1957

1957年,长沙地质学校的学生夏可为给作家茅盾、赵树理写了一封表明自己写作愿望的信,赵树理的回信以《不要这样多的幻想吧——答长沙地质学校夏可为同学的信》为名发表在当年《文艺学习》第五期。许多青年寄信给编辑部和赵树理表达自己对"夏可为的来信"的看法,关于青年志业选择、文学写作规律的讨论由此展开。以1957年"夏可为的来信"事件为原点,勾连20世纪50年代末60年代初文学青年的成长轨迹,可以对十七年文学"接班人"培养过程中创作与生活、专业写作与业余写作、老作家与文学青年的关系等问题进行集中解答。

In 1957,Changsha Geology School＇s student Xia Kewei wrote to Mao Dun and Zhao Shuli,expressing his desire of writing. Zhao Shuli＇s reply letter-＂Do not Dream so much-answer Changsha Geology School＇s student Xia Kewei＂was published in the fifth phase of Literary Study. Many young people mailed to the editors and Zhao Shuli expressing their views on ＂Xia Kewei＇s letter＂. A discussion on youth career choice and literary writing rules began. Starting from ＂Xia Kewei＇s letter＂,this paper investigates the literary youth＇s growth trajectory at the end of 1950 s and early 60 s and tries to answer questions about creation and life,professional writing and amateur writing,writers and literary youth＇s relation in the Seventeen-year Literature.
