"Going deep into life"is a crucial concept in contemporary realist literature theory.The call for"going deep into life"in literature from the 1940s to the 1970s aimed to overcome the obstacles to the political utility of literature and art posed by the class gap and differences in taste between literary workers and the masses of workers,peasants,and soldiers,with its ideological framework being"literature and art-politics".The literature of the new period depoliticized"going deep into life"with the goal of reshaping the subjectivity of writers,and its ideological framework was"subject-object".In recent years,there has been an intrinsic demand for"going deep into life"in creative writing,aiming to grasp the changing reality of the present but restricted by the"self-other"frame of thought.The works often exhibit a paradoxical structure of"going deep into life"through"going deep into the self'.The understanding of"going deep into life"in different periods has both differences and connections and dialogues.Reflecting on its ideological framework can help us grasp its history and complexity and establish a unique perspective for understanding contemporary literature.
