Lu Ling (1923-$\quad$), the much-neglected modern Chinese writer, holds a unique position in modern Chinese fiction. His texts exemplify a crucial correlation of individualism and realism. Realism is a major strain in modern European fiction around the turn of the century, and a master paradigm for May Fourth modern Chinese literature. The Chinese reception and assimilation of this realist mode, however, prove to be problematic. The individualist component in Chinese realist works is often attenuated in the name of collective moral imperatives about China's society. Lu Ling, on the other hand, insists on the individualist vision and perception of the western-oriented realist mode, mediated by Lu Xun. Lu Ling's dedication to realism is often at variance with his commitment to Chinese Marxist and leftist ideologies, which results in textual inconsistency and hybridization in his style, form, and language. Comparative studies of the narrative discourses in the fiction of Lu Ling, Gerhart Hauptmann, D. H. Lawrence and Thomas Mann reveal the dialogical tension in those texts whose authors face similar problems of conflicting ideologies, generic forms, and literary modes. In his "naturalist" works, Lu Ling displays a remarkable sensitivity to "primitive vitality" in languages of the working class, laden with instinctual, subconscious desires and libidinal wish-fulfillment, common to those who populate the fictional worlds of Hauptmann and Lawrence. Naturalist fascination with graphic detail of animal impulses, heredity and social milieu, symbolic and quasi-lyrical prose, as well as highly refined style indirect libre, intermingle in Lu Ling's texts. Lu Ling's ambitious novel, The Children of Wealth, incorporates both generic forms of the family chronicle, intent on capturing socio-historical changes through mimesis of realism, and Bildungsroman, which traces the awakening and development of individual self-consciousness. These formal features of Lu Ling's novel are comparable to Mann's novels Buddenbrooks and The Magic Mountain. Drawing on Bakhtin's study of novelistic discourse as a microcosm of heteroglossia, we can investigate in Lu Ling's fiction the manner in which each individual's unique voice and point of view are manifested through realist mode.Subjects--Topical Terms:
