Zhao Shuli's novel Liu Erhe and Wang Jisheng presents the complex reality of rural is-sues before the founding of the People's Republic of China by focusing on three rural spaces:the child-ish games in the"Triangular Ping"alluding to the unequal relationships in the adult world;the"reason-ing"in the Guandi Temple exposing the shortcomings of the village political system;and the"turning over"of the co-operative pointing to the unequal sharing of benefits resulting from the incomplete re-forms.While Zhao Shuli was crafting his narrative across three distinct spaces,he subtly wove within it the quest for the autonomous and self-aware political potentiality of the peasantry,nurturing it as a trans-formative force.His literary vision of rural order diverged from the historical realities of the countryside during the transitional period,yet he refrained from adopting simplistic solutions and terminated the de-velopment of the story instead.So Liu Erhe and Wang Jisheng presents an"unfinished"state,which,far from becoming a shackle,gave rise to Zhao Shuli's ideological grapple,prompting him to immerse him-self in the practice of historical reality.At the same time,it also promoted a leap in the novelist's creative thinking.
