Features: This book addresses an important topic in contemporary literary studies. In the field of contemporary literary research, compared to the lively studies of the New Period literature, the study of literature after the founding of the country for thirty years appears particularly quiet; the theoretical research on literature during these three decades is even more silent. This may be because people generally believe that the "literature of the seventeen years" and the "Cultural Revolution literature" did not achieve significant accomplishments, and their research value and significance are not substantial. This seems to be a natural and inevitable situation.
