子夜山雨季——20世纪30年代中国城乡生活的交响曲

Midnight and Storm Season -The Symphony of Chinese Urban and Rural Life in the 1930s

20世纪30年代初的中国社会性质是什么,这是当时国人为此争论不休的一个重大话题。茅盾、王统照分别在长篇小说《子夜》、《山雨》中以坚实的生活基础、深厚的笔力为我们揭示了当时中国城乡政治、经济生活的实质———中国正处于民族危急关头,国家正在加速半殖民、半封建化。作家以其深邃的思想、高超的艺术显示了当时左翼文学的实绩,从而使1933年成为"子夜山雨季"的一年。

What's the nature of Chinese society in the early 1930s? It was a major and controversary issue at that time.In Midnight and Storm , Mao Dun and Wang Tongzhao revealed the essence of Chinese political and economic life in the city and countryside by their solid life foundation and profound vigor of style. The essence was that China was in a critical time and was speeding up the trend of semi-colonia, semi-feudal society. Writers showed the achievements of the Left-wing literature by their profound thoughts and excellent art, which made the year 1933 become the year of 'midnight and storm (in the mountains)' season.
