Main works
Features of works
Before the 1980s
Strong political consciousness and inclination
In Wang Meng's works before 1980s, daily life writing is far less than political life narrative in quantity and less than politicized text in influence. For example, his first novel "long live youth" is not only an epic of the growth process of advanced young intellectuals such as Zheng Bo and Yang Qiangyun, but also an ode to the new China full of vigor and vitality. His political consciousness is very strong and his political tendency is very clear. His short story "a young man from the Organization Department" has a distinct political theme: anti bureaucracy. Lin Zhen, the protagonist of the novel, is a new person cultivated in the new society. He "loves life, the party, comrades and beauty", and struggles for what he loves. He naturally blends into his flesh and blood, and has his own characteristics of young people. "He does not allow the party's mechanism to have shortcomings, showing his valuable sense of political responsibility. The subordinate relationship between literature and politics is rewritten into a dialogue relationship. Before being beaten to the right, because of the influence of Soviet socialism and the respect of intellectuals by writers themselves, the protagonists of most novels are intellectuals. After being beaten to the right, they draw lessons and set the workers, peasants and soldiers as the protagonists. Therefore, the politicized tendency of literature makes him get out of the mud quickly. After the outbreak of the cultural revolution, because of its outstanding political sensitivity, the policy of no revolution, no publication and no tairevolution was not persecuted. In Xinjiang Uygur, as the deputy leader of the detachment, literary works almost stopped at that time.
