AB - This study examines how the concept of “revolutionary sentiment” (革命情緖) is embodied as a narrative principle in Jiang Guangci’s early novel On the Yalu River (《鴨綠江上》). Previous studies have largely focused on the revolutionary consciousness and national identity of Li Menghan, a young Korean living under Japanese colonial rule. This study shifts attention to how individual lives and affective experiences are narrativized within the grand narrative of revolution.
Focusing on the changing meanings of space, the formation of a storytelling community, and the perspective of the first-person narrator Weijia(維嘉), this study offers a new reading of the novel. It argues that Jiang Guangci’s “revolutionary sentiment” should be understood not merely as a political concept intended to arouse revolutionary passion, but as a literary mode of thought that seeks to encompass the lived experiences and complex affective life of individuals in an age of revolution. From this perspective, On the Yalu River does not merely represent revolutionary ideology; it also explores the possibility of individuals narrating their own lives within the historical conditions of revolution. The novel thus acquires renewed significance as a work concerned with the recovery of self-narration amid the pressures of a grand revolutionary narrative.
