metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: Joseph Stalin, as the ruler of the USSR, invited Maxim Gorky (who was living
  in Europe at that time) to return home to preach and consolidate socialist realism, and
  so socialist realism was established in Russia in the 1930s. Gorky played an important
  role in Russian literature during this time, while in China, different writers also introduced
  socialist realism through various literary translations of Russian writers, among
  which Gorky’s works were the most translated. Gorky advocated for the combination
  of realism and romanticism. He described positive heroes in his works and valued humanity.
  These thoughts, however, were interpreted in diverse ways by various Chinese
  writers, which were split into two teams. One team was represented by Zhou Yang
  (周 扬) and Xiao San (萧三), who underlined the political function of literature; the other
  team was represented by Hu Feng (胡风) and Mao Dun (茅盾), who were instead in favor
  of the fusion of the idea of humanism with socialist realism. This article begins with an
  introduction of Gorky’s thought through various literary works translated in the 1930s,
  representing the spread of Gorky’s ideas throughout China. The author then focuses on the different interpretations of his thoughts presented by Zhou Yang, Xiao San together
  with Hu Feng, and Mao Dun. The purpose of this article is first to elaborate on
  the significance of Gorky’s thoughts for Chinese literature in the 1930s, then to analyze
  the different interpretations of his thoughts, which serves to explain the reasoning for
  different interpretations and the objectives of these Chinese writers who put forward
  different perceptions of Gorky’s word. Finally, this article will conclude by analyzing
  whose interpretation is closer to Gorky’s original thoughts.
