Shen Congwen was left out in the cold. Why did he become a national writer after his death?

Shen Congwen was left out in the cold because of his stubbornness and persistence in literature. Deeply influenced by the May 4th culture, he yearned for the environment of cultural freedom, and was eager to try in the environment of new literature, trying to integrate himself into this creative trend. His understanding of "thinking" is different. He can't completely abandon the "old ideas" but can't reach enough "new ideas", which makes Shen Congwen stand out among many writers.

In the development of the literary world at that time, the May 4th culture was no longer the mainstream of literature, but Shen Congwen persisted in talking about the May 4th spirit at an inappropriate time, while many other writers stood on the other side because of avoiding trouble. Only Shen Congwen was depressed, and the left-wing culture reacted fiercely at that time, but Shen Congwen did not hesitate, which led to his misunderstanding. Even under very unfavorable circumstances, Shen Congwen still voiced again and again, and published "Commemorating the May 4th Movement" and "May 4th Movement and May 4th People" respectively.

The storm of the times will eventually become history. When people look at Shen Congwen's works with new eyes, they feel his depression and depression at that time. Moreover, the literature with "Xiangxi characteristics" he represents has also become a classic. Careful analysis and taste of Shen Congwen's works not only embodies the regional characteristics, but also reveals the true feelings of the world.

His delicate and simple brushwork has created classic characters, which makes people look back and appreciate Shen Congwen's persistence again. The distinctive writing techniques, vivid and popular language and prose-style narrative techniques all make Shen Congwen's achievements more prominent and become a model among a generation of writers.
