Features: Mao Dun's novels are created with a realistic tone as their foundation. In the 1930s, he was particularly dedicated to incorporating new realism into his writing style. In his works, a rational spirit is evident, or to put it another way, he was a rational and socially-oriented writer. This rational spirit can be understood as a worldview and literary perspective. In his works, history is no longer an external social space but has transformed into a "major character" within the narrative.
