The Interlacing of"Political Task"and"Cultural Task":A Textual Research on Three Lost Works of Li Jianwu in the Late 1940s
On History and Reality(to Yu Ping),Stage and Literature:France in the Seventeenth Century and Looking at Situqiao's Paintings are three newly discovered works written by Li Jianwu in the late 1940s.On History and Reality leads to a debate between Li Jianwu and Yu Ping about the drama Jin Xiaoyu,from which we can see the signs that historical works is gradually replaced by present creation.Based on the analysis of the two literary and artistic reviews of Stage and Literature:France in the Seventeenth Century and Looking at Situqiao's Paintings,it can be found that two quite opposite standpoints of respecting reality and confronting reality coexist in Li Jianwu's writing.Li Jianwu's three works not only reveal the process of"political task"advocated by"political man"gradually replacing"cultural task"valued by"cultural man",but also show that the identity of"political man"and"cultural man"coexists in liberal intellectual writers such as Li Jianwu,which makes Li show concerns about"political task"and"cultural task".The intersection of"political task"and"cultural task"ultimately reflects the complicated transformation of literature and art after the end of the Anti-Japanese War.
