Mind Connection:Speech Writing in Socialist Literature
Speech writing is an important genre in"socialist literature"which deserves detailed study.In terms of the goal,speech writing purports to"speak to ourselves in our own meeting",so that the commoners,cadres and party organizations can communicate with each other to form a"homogeneous community".In terms of the path,speech writing tends to be"shallow"but"thorough",e.g.,full of concrete examples instead of mere ab-stractions,progressing slowly instead of rushing it through,using lively pop culture instead of sticking to rigid and dogmatic rules,and"chatting"in a relaxed way instead of"pulling a long face".In terms of the effect,speech writing shows that only when"pressure politics"and"emotional revolution"resonate with each other can a great change be secured.The mirror presentation by speech writing in socialist literature is a truthful re-cord of some"mind-connecting effect"in the meeting,showcasing the historical"legacy"of socialist literature and revolutionary political practice.
