Yu Guang-zhong’s Critique and Study of “Literature of the Cultural Revolution”

Yu Guang-zhong started to discuss and study “the literature of the Cultural Revolution” soon after “the Cultural Revolution”, of which his incisive criticism of The Form Master——a representative work of “literature of the bruised” reflective of life during “the Cultural Revolution”——is insightful and profound in an unprecedented manner, whose penetrating judgment is well demonstrative of the author’s audacity in critique. Besides, Yu’s comments on “the literature of the Cultural Revolution” abroad have supplied lots of fresh information, thus having filled up the gap of studies in “the literature of the Cultural Revolution” in both the mainland of China and Taiwan.
