The relationship between truth and value is a problem deeply rooted in Chinese literary theories and writing practice in the Twentieth Century, and also a practical problem of contemporary Chinese literature at the beginning of 21st century. This article aims to take a retrospective view on the conflicts between truth and value in modern Chinese literary history with the following conclusions: apart from some objective causes, the binary oppositional mode of thinking is the most important for the conflicts between truth and value; the fundamental doubt concerning the truth of literature is the root reason for the loss of literary value; the one-sided interpretation of the post-modernist concept of truth was the last straw that broke up the value of literature. The author points out that even post-modernist theories do not deny the truth of literature too generally, since the relationship between the truth and the value of literature is a universal proposition in literary activities. So what needs to be done now is to rethink and reconstruct a harmonious and integrated relationship between the two on a new basis.
