What do Chinese literature and film inspired by the Cultural Revolution (1966-1976) have in common with media of the May Fourth movement (1918-1930)? This book demonstrates several shared aims: to liberate narrative arts from aesthetic orthodoxies, to draw on foreign sources for inspiration, and to free individuals from social conformity.
