Semi-Colonial Experience and Yu Dafu's Literary Creation in Japan
The counterpart of the semi-colonialism in Chinese history was the semi-feudalism,so Yu Dafu's writing was characterized by revolting against traditional culture and pursuing individual freedom.At the same time,the semi-colonized social reality inevitably made Yu Dafu feel the humiliation of being subjected to the colonizers during his stay in Japan.He longed to share the Western/Japanese culture from a cosmopolitan perspective,but had to raise the national flag to resist the spiritual oppression of the semi-colonial reality.He embraced Western/Japanese culture with a cosmopolitan view,but had to adopt a"feudal"attitude to confront the West/Japan when necessary.This ambivalence constitutes the identity dilemma in Yu Dafu's novels written in Japan,also determines his complex attitude towards the Japanese and female writing.
