Why is the red classic so hot?

The "Red Classics" in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China have a strong realistic color in content, which reproduces the magnificent historical picture of the China revolution. In the era when material life was extremely poor, China people used to be full of lofty sentiments and high morale, but today, many people have experienced unprecedented hesitation and emptiness. The great richness of material life cannot replace the comfort of spiritual life. The role played by red classics due to specific institutional factors and their ability to embody and shape the spirit of the times are incomparable to general literary classics. As a revolutionary discourse, it bears the heavy responsibility of historical narration, that is, to understand the past with a progressive view of history and prove today and tomorrow. At the same time, as a literary discourse, it also accommodates and creates the life imagination, youth familiarity and growth hope of several generations. Therefore, the "red classics" have irreplaceable historical value. As a special historical and cultural resource, red classics have not become sealed history with the development of the times. They were there. The original work is still being read, watched and appreciated, and has become a resource of contemporary literary creation, and has been repeatedly adapted, remake and remake.

The red classic, Literature and Art of Workers, Peasants and Soldiers, portrays ordinary people who have been neglected and despised for thousands of years as heroes, which is different from the overlooking and pity for civilians during the May 4th Movement and shows the daily life of civilians, especially farmers, to readers in an unprecedented delicate way.

The feelings of home and country, social responsibility, ideals and beliefs expressed by red classics, as well as the lofty artistic realm pursued and created beyond their own interests, are the most precious literary heritage, which is also lacking in today's literary writing and needs to be studied and absorbed, especially after getting rid of the shackles of "economic power."
