Mao Dun, formerly known as Shen Dehong, with the word Yanbing, was born on July 4, 1896. A native of Tongxiang, Zhejiang Province, he was one of the earliest members of the Communist Party of China. Mao Dun was a famous writer who enjoyed a high reputation at home and abroad. Together with Lu Xun and Guo Moruo, he laid the foundation for revolutionary literary and cultural activities in our country. In his literary career of more than 60 years, he created a large number of outstanding literary works such as "Midnight", "Eclipse", "Rainbow", "Spring Silkworm", "Lin Family Shop", "Frost Leaves Red Like February Flowers", "Before and After the Qingming Festival", which described the arduous course of China's democratic revolution, enriched our country's literary treasure, improved the level of realistic literary creation, and left an indelible record in the history of modern literature. Mao Dun was not only a world-famous writer, but also one of the earliest members of the Communist Party of China. In 1921 he joined the Communist Party of China in Shanghai, and in the same year, he joined the Communist Party of China. In 1928 he lost contact with the party organization, but he did not change his belief in communism. He used his pen to cooperate with the party's actions and engage in progressive cultural activities. Mao Dun twice asked for the restoration of the party's organizational life in the 1930s and 1940s, but did not get his wish. After liberation, the Communist Party took over state power, and Mao Dun believed that he could not share this honor at this time. He said, I will try my best to be a non-party Bolshevik, and under the leadership of the party, do my assigned work well. So he stopped talking about his membership. Mao Dun always obeyed the party's arrangements and strictly demanded himself. After the liberation of the country, he wanted to engage in writing with peace of mind. Chairperson Mao Zedong asked for his opinion and wanted him to take the leadership of the Ministry of Culture. Mao Dun agreed with the overall situation. In this way, he had to give up his original creative plan, and the writing of the novel "Exercise" basically stopped after the first draft was completed. The ten-year catastrophe has damaged the prestige of the party, and some people have shaken their belief in the party and Marxism-Leninism. Mao Dun was deeply concerned about this. In order to show the party that his belief in the communist ideal will remain unchanged until death, when he was dying, he dictated a letter to the Party Central Committee: "Dear comrades, I know that I will not be able to afford it. At this last moment, my heart is with you. I have pursued and fought for the communist ideal all my life. I ask the Central Committee to strictly review my actions in life with the standards of party members after my death. If Meng Zhui is considered an honorable member of the Communist Party of China, this will be the greatest honor of my life ". He signed his name at the end of the letter with a trembling hand. After receiving this letter from Mao Dun, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China decided to reinstate his membership in the Communist Party of China based on his request and his performance in life. The long-cherished wish of this great writer has finally come true! Mao Dun's life embodies" the perfect combination of a writer and a revolutionary. "The film" Lin Family Shop "based on the novel
