95 years ago today, on March 2, 1930 (February 3, 1930, the China Left-wing Writers Alliance was established. The cartoon written by Wang Yiliu, a member of the Chinese League of Left-wing League, after participating in the founding meeting of the League of Left-wing, reflects the scene of the founding meeting. Lu Xun's China League of Left-wing Writers in 1930, referred to as the "League of Left-wing Writers". When the "League of the Left" was established, the first revolutionary civil war failed. The Kuomintang reactionaries carried out military encirclement and suppression of revolutionary base areas on the one hand, and carried out cultural "encirclement and suppression" on the other hand. The situation at that time urgently required left-wing writers in Shanghai to unite and fight against the Kuomintang reactionaries. Thanks to the efforts of the Communist Party of China, the "League of the Left" held its founding meeting on March 2, 1930 at China University of Art in Shanghai (now No. 2, Lane 201, Duolun Road). At the inaugural meeting, Mr. Lu Xun delivered a speech entitled "Opinions on the Left-wing Writers Alliance", which for the first time proposed the direction that literature and art should serve the "workers and peasants" and pointed out that left-wing artists must be in contact with the actual social struggle. The establishment of the "League of the Left" marked that revolutionary literature had entered a new stage of development. Lu Xun was the glorious battle flag of the "League of the Left". Under his leadership, progressive literary and artistic workers launched a powerful proletarian revolutionary movement. They founded magazines, translated and introduced Marxism-Leninism works on literature and art, cultivated new literary talents, and developed the "League of the Left" organization. The "League of the Left" has branches in Peiping and Tokyo, Japan, and has established groups in Guangzhou, Tianjin, Wuhan, Nanjing and other places, attracting a large number of left-wing literary and artistic youth. After the establishment of the Left-wing Writers 'Alliance, the Left-wing Social Scientists' Alliance, the Dramatists 'Alliance, the Journalists' Alliance, the Artists 'Alliance, the Educators' Alliance, the Linguists 'Alliance and the Musicians' Alliance were also established one after another. At that time, they were known as the "Eight Major Alliances". Most of the literary and artistic positions in the Kuomintang ruled areas were occupied by progressive literature and art. The Kuomintang reactionaries are extremely vicious and crazily suppress left-wing writers. They banned the publication and distribution of books and newspapers, closed bookstores and publishing houses, and arrested writers. The soldiers of the "League of the Left" used the method of changing the name of the magazine, pseudonym, and bookstore to deal with the enemy. In the end, the enemy used his last move: killing. Rou Shi, Yin Fu, Hu Yepin, Li Weisen and Feng Keng, the "Five Martyrs of the League of the Left", watered the flowers of socialist literature and art. Later, writer Hong Lingfei, poet Pan Mohua and Ying Xiuren were also killed, and Lu Xun was also wanted. In such a dangerous environment, the "League of the Left" still persisted in heroic struggle, published a publication commemorating the five martyrs, issued a declaration, and publicly protested. The outstanding achievements of the "League of the Left" in literary creation include Mao Dun's novel "Midnight" and the short story "Rural Trilogy", Lu Xun's essays and the historical novel "New Stories". Although some works of the "League of Leftsmen" writers are not mature in art, they can make people feel the pulse of the times. Their sense of life and revolutionary enthusiasm still infect readers, such as Yin Fu's poem "Blood", Rou Shi's novel "Mother of Slaves" and Jiang Guangci's novel "The Roaring Land", etc. The "League of the Left" has cultivated mature literary newcomers such as Zhang Tianyi, Ye Zi, Sha Ting, Ai Wu, Xiao Jun, Xiao Hong, Zhou Libo, etc. In the spring of 1936, according to the needs of the situation, in order to establish an anti-Japanese national united front in the literary and artistic circles, the "League of the Left" was automatically dissolved. Although the history of the "League of the Left" was only six years, it became a monument in the history of China's revolutionary literature due to its huge role at that time and its far-reaching influence on future generations.
