20世纪30年代乡土世界普遍的、严峻的贫穷把下层民众逼得离乡背井、妻离子散、家破人亡,作家们在分析当时蔓延于乡土世界的贫穷现象时,大都接受了马克思主义阶级论的立场和方法,故而他们在创作中为革命寻找合法性和合理性论证,由此带来了30年代乡土小说的两个显著特征,即“贫穷”的情节化和结局的革命化。但是,深入文本,又可以发现革命暴力的破坏性和混乱性使作家们有所犹疑。贫穷、革命、犹疑构成20世纪30年代乡土文学的三个关键词,其中包含了当时作家们对于革命的全部矛盾复杂心理。 In the 1930s, the widespread and severe poverty in the native world forced the lower classes of people to leave their hometowns and their wives and children were scattered and their families were killed. Most of the writers, in their analysis of the poverty that had spread to the native world at that time, accepted the Marxist class theory’s position and method Therefore, they sought for the legitimacy and rationality of the revolution in their creations. As a result, they brought two salient features of the local novels of the 1930s, that is, the plot of “poverty” and the revolution of the ending. However, going deep into the text, we can also find the author discredited by the devastating and confusing nature of revolutionary violence. Poverty, revolution and hesitation constitute the three key words of local literature in the 1930s, which contain the complex psychology of all writers’ contradictions about the revolution at the time.
