This research is centered on the novel creation of Hei Ying, an overseas Chinese writer in Southeast Asia, in the Shanghai period. By systematically combing Hei Ying's works from 1932-1937, he investigates his creative trajectory during the Shanghai period and explores the writer's various tendencies in his creation. Hei Ying’s works have a variety of cultural aspects that are intertwined with each other. They are biased towards the realistic themes of Southeast Asia, the revolutionary themes of the leftist literature, and the modern urban literature of sound, light and electricity. These themes are mostly mixed in the novels of Hei Ying. In order to investigate the complexity of Hei Ying’s work, this research attempts to put it back into the timeline of the 1930s and the Shanghai- Southeast Asia space field for discussion, hoping to start from the three known identities of Hei Ying in the 1930s: the Neo-Sensationism, the Returned Overseas Chinese from Southeast Asia, and the patriotic youth, and from the analysis of three angles, a deeper exploration of the author’s works can provide a better understanding of the author himself, even the Neo-Sensationism, or the group of overseas Chinese students in Shanghai,provide more aspects and possibilities. |
