Abstract
The main concern of this paper is not Chen Yingzhens frontal intellectual,
conceptual, literary and cultural discourses in the 1980s, but the socialist
practices of the Mao Zedong Era in mainland China--especially the planning
and concretization of the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution--which not
only serve as Chen Yingzhens central belief in his intellectual understanding
and practical imagination from the 1960s to the 1970s, but also something he
enthusiastically idealized. After the Cultural Revolution, how mainland China
reflects on the problematic in it as well as the exposition of various injustices
and brutality have led Chen Yingzhen to readjust and explore his thoughts and
ideas. By approaching the issue from this angle, we are able to sort out and
reveal Chen Yingzhens sophisticate spirit and thinking that are hard to grasp by

directly focusing on his concrete intellectual, conceptual, literal and cultural

practices in the 1980s. Only by clarifying and grasping Chen Yingzhens
thinking and sensibility in this sense, could we accurately reveal the formations
of Chen Yingzhens deeper concepts and sensibilities behind his concrete
intellectual, conceptual, literary and cultural practices in the 1980s. Reveling
the formation of Chen Yingzhens concepts and sensibilities in this sense is not
only helpful when it comes to a more accurate understanding of the inner side
of Chen Yingzhens concrete intellectual, conceptual, literary and cultural
practices in the 1980s, but, more importantly, the revelation itself bears
important intellectual and cognitional value.
