试验新生活——“五四”后北京工读互助团的家庭革命

On Post-May Fourth Family Revolution of Beijing Work-Study Group

"五四"前后,旧家庭、旧礼教、旧道德受到新文化人的严厉批评。受时风的塑造,思想激进的青年甚至主张废姓、废除婚姻,梦想着能过上无家庭的共同生活。其中一些青年大胆将这一梦想从"未来"带到了"现在"。1920年春,在北京成立的工读互助团便是一次家庭革命的尝试。这意味着伴随思想革命走向社会改造,家庭革命也进一步组织化、激烈化。虽然由于一些错综复杂的原因工读互助团很快解散了,但是废婚毁家的理想却一直萦绕在青年革命者心中。

Around the May Fourth Movement,new intellectuals fervently criticized old family system alongside traditional rituals(lijiao)and morality.Motivated by this trend,young radicals dreamed of a utopia of common life,where there was no marriage,surname or family.Some of them even took a courageous leap by putting this utopia into practice.In the spring of 1920,a few young students organized a work-study group in Beijing,with an apparent attempt to family revolution.This practice is indicative of that,as part of the process of turning intellectual revolution into social reforms,China s family revolution was becoming increasingly organized and radicalized.Although the work-study group disbanded shortly due to some complicated issues,the idea of abolishing family and marriage lingered and influenced many young Chinese revolutionaries.
