Examining Discourses on the Taiwan Revolution in 1930s Chinese Mainland Left-wing Literature
In the 1930s,as Chinese people grew increasingly concerned about the well-being of their compatriots in Taiwan under Japanese colonial rule,the number of articles on Taiwan published in the mainland press surged.Not only did the depth of these articles increase significantly,but their forms also became more varied,and a number of novels,plays,and other genres appeared.Most of the literary works involving Taiwan have a clear left-wing tendency,influenced by the CPC and the Left League.The CPC continued its concern for the Taiwan Revolution during the Revolutionary Period.Besides guiding the formation of the Taiwan Communist Party,the CPC concern was also reflected in the writing of left-wing writers led by the Left League.In the mid-1930s,as the national crisis deepened,the mainland left-wing responded to the CPC's call to form a united front against Japan.Therefore,it downplayed the color of"class struggle"in its discourse and used"small and weak nation"as a discursive bridge to create a new space for writing about the Taiwan Revolution between class and nation.
