The Koreans-themed literary works written by right-wing writers constitute an important part in Chinese modern literature. However, influenced by politics, the study on them has lagged behind that of the other works. This paper takes the Koreans-themed works in the 1930s Nationalist literature movement as the object of research. It summarizes the characters and writing features based on textual analysis. Moreover, it makes a contrastive study with left-wing Koreans-themed works, discusses their differences and summarizes the characteristics of the Koreans-themed works in the Nationalist literature movement. The Nationalist literature writers, with the aim to promote nationalism, created a wide variety of Korean revolutionaries, hoping to motivate Chinese masses to work hard, to unite with the oppressed people in small nations like Korea to resist imperialist aggression and fight for national independence and self-determination. They focused on the description of personal life experiences, personal mental activity, and shaped the characters with individual characteristics, many of which are the revolutionaries who had never appeared in the previous works. Different from those left-wing writers who maximized class stratification and minimized ethnic differences, these nationalist literary writers emphasized independence and particularity of Korean revolutionaries. They focused on the exploration of the inner world of the Korean people. In terms of content, the Koreans-themed works touched upon the Koreans’ concept of China, disclosing and criticizing the weaknesses of the Chinese people and society. Such blatant criticism can show that the nationalist literary writers abandoned the sense of superiority over the subjugated people, and gained a profound understanding that China was repeating the mistakes of Korea. On the other hand, it helped to subvert the long-standing misconception that the right wing writers could only sing praises for the KMT. In terms of form, the nationalist writers took a bold attempt to adopt the first-person narrative given by their Koreans heroes. By presenting heroes’ different love philosophy, they shaped the characters with individual personality. The first-person narrative style is a good way for writers to replace the impractical factual description with rich and vivid psychological activities, which could make their works more touching and true-to-life. The 1930s’ Nationalist literary school is the first group to focus on the creation of the Koreans-themed literary works. They made earlier explorations than the Northeast writers’ group, and achieved some success in this field.
右翼文人创作的韩人题材作品是中国现代文学韩人题材作品的重要组成部分。由于政治环境的影响,在资料发掘和研究方面都严重滞后于其他作品。本文以1930年代民族主义文艺运动中的韩人题材作品为研究对象,通过文本分析对人物形象和写作特点进行整理,同时通过与左翼韩人题材作品的对比研究,探讨两者的差异,总结民族主义文艺中韩人题材作品的特征。民族主义文艺派作家,以宣扬民族主义为目的,塑造了各式各样的韩国革命者形象。希望以此激励中国民众奋发图强,与韩国这样被压迫的弱小民族联合起来,抵抗帝国主义的侵略,争取民族自立和自决。他们侧重于描写个人的生活经历、个人的心理活动,塑造出具有个性特征的人物形象,其中有不少是其他作品中没有出现过的革命者形象。同时,与左翼作家强调阶级意识,模糊民族界限不同,民族主义文艺作家强调韩国革命者的独立性和特殊性。民族主义文艺作家侧重于对韩人内心世界的探索。在内容上,民族主义文艺的韩人题材作品注意到了韩人的中国观,他们通过韩人负面的中国观揭露和抨击中国社会的弊端及中国人的弱点。这种赤裸裸的批判一方面说明民族主义文艺作家抛弃了对亡国者的莫名优越感,深刻认识到中国正在重蹈韩国的覆辙。另一方面,也颠覆了长期以来对右翼文学只会为国民党歌功颂德的误解。在形式上,民族主义文艺作者大胆采用韩国人第一人称的叙述方式,通过表现主人公不同的恋爱观,塑造了具有个性的人物形象。同时第一人称叙述也是作家扬长避短的表现方式,以丰富生动的心理描写代替缺乏实际经验的事实描写,使作品更真实感人。1930年代的民族主义文艺派是第一个关注韩人题材创作的文学团体。他们在这个领域的探索早于东北作家群,而且取得了一定的成就。
