In recent years, many literati in the modern history of the mainland have always been dragged out and lashed out by the current people for no reason because of their private feelings, and many people who obviously have strong emotional overtones have criticized the literati of these Republics periods as worthless, believing that the history of the literati in the Republic of China period is actually a large-scale history of scumbags, and if Guo Moruo should be the person who has suffered the most ridicule and insults, then what kind of person is the real Guo Moruo?
Guo Moruo's achievements in the professional field are needless to say, and everyone who buried him should be grateful for his talent and contributions to the history of Chinese literature and pedagogy. Many people think that Guo Moruo is too mixed up in terms of feelings, which is also where he is criticized the most. Guo Moruo is amorous, this point is not denied, but his biggest problem is actually because of cowardice in personality, choosing to compromise too much on some things, so compared with other literati, he lacks a lot of strong breath. After all, in people's minds, literati should have their own unique wind and bone, always adhere to their own inner bottom line, and resist all behaviors that they are not accustomed to. But if Guo Mo did not, his choice of many things was too clever and weak.
In the early days, Guo Moruo and many friends roamed the Shanghai Beach, and indeed often mixed with some fireworks and willow lane areas, and his private life was indeed not a checkpoint, but it was not as exaggerated as mentioned in later literary works. His first wife was a traditional woman in an arranged marriage, and there was a big gap between the two in terms of concepts and lifestyles, so the relationship was doomed not to go to the end. As for abandoning his wife and children when he was in Japan, the main reason was because the War of Resistance Against Japan broke out at that time, so he rushed back to his own country. After returning to China, his wife, Yu Liqun, was actually a firm and loyal revolutionary partner, and the two of them walked hand in hand for the rest of their lives, and there was no mistake in the middle.
Of course, he does have a lot of inconsiderate places in terms of feelings, but posterity denies his literary style, which is a bit unreasonable, and a large part of Guo Moruo's literary works are flattering to reality and society, and they simply do not have their own backbone and personality. In fact, compared with the literati of the same era, Guo Moruo became famous very early, and when others were just showing their sharp corners, Guo Moruo was already famous in the literary world and was respected as "Guo Lao".
Therefore, compared with many literati, Guo Moruo is actually unfree, and he is praised by people in a situation where he is a role model for his predecessors, so many scenes in his later works are criticized for being realistic and flattering.
