A Glimpse of Yu Dafu's novel featuring Chinese students abroad

Yu Dafu's early novels reveal unique self- image, frank and sincere portrait of mental state, particular pattern of structure (the emotion structure) blended with special style of romanticism. These characteristics enable images of many characters in Yu's novels featuring the Chinese students abroad to be combined as a unified and interrelated whole forming a complex, multi-level and solid artistic image. The essence of social reality at that time is thus reflected in those novels, and so are the theory of literature and art as well as the concept of aesthetics that are embodied in Yu's literary creation.
