The discussions of his stories reveal the general historical experience of a rural society in transition in the ＂liberated area.＂ There are two major themes： social improvement under the intervention of the new government, and the ＂standing up＂ of the subaltern peasant class. These motifs often overlap to various degrees, and sometimes there is a hybrid narrative which combines the two. The last section of this paper briefly explores the supposed paradox of Zhao Shuli＇s ＂direction,＂ its contributions to representing and educating the masses, and its limitations in fulfilling the party＇s long-term ideological goal of reforming the peasants＇ ethical-moral world.展开更多
