Abstract

ABSTRACT: At the beginning of the twentieth century, the greatest renewal in the history of Chinese literature took place. Along with the political events, new literary movements and new young writers began to form in China. Countless historical and revolutionary events, civil wars, and literary revolutions have shaped twentieth-century Chinese literature and deepened its ideological and artistic features. From now on, movements such as human literature, folk literature, and realist literature have begun to draw attention, works that address people, their experiences and problems, and writers who hear the voice of the people have begun to grow. Lu Xin and Lao She hold a special place among the leading authors of Chinese literature of this period. In their works, both writers criticized outdated traditions and past ideology. In a tense socio-political environment full of riots and protests, it takes courage to write texts that appeal to ordinary people and contain revolutionary ideas. Inspired by the change of government and revolution, Lu Xin wrote his first stories based on these points. Lao She, on the other hand, changed her romantic orientation with the May 4th movement and continued her work with stories written in a way that contradicted the Confucian tradition. The modern thinking of both authors stems from their recognition of Western literature, Western thought and the best examples of this literature. The article recalls the events that took place in China at the beginning of the twentieth century and discusses the favorable conditions that created the new literature. In addition to researching the literary activities of these authors and the main aspects of their works, the innovations they brought to Chinese literature were also examined.
