ABSTRACT

Mu Dan’s later works were tears and groans of his life. His painful life was caused a Chinese political movement from end of 1950s to The Cultural Revolution. Since 1957, he had stopped writing poetry, Mu Dan resumed the work in 1976, just a year before he passed away. However that was not just to accuse The Cultural Revolution but the necessity of self-examination and self-awareness of life that had to be abandoned as a poet. The one-sided victim of The Cultural Revolution, the intellectual had no other option but survived by constant self-denial. The mixed self-denial of forcibleness and self-motivation was a sort of submission. Finally it was the self-bridle that had to be denied once more. The process of self-reformation through endless political whirlpool and criticism to poetry and thought was a painful self-denial progression. MuDan could not write poetry almost 20 years. His poetry was written in 1976 became his Posthumous Work as he passed away next work. The work is a sight of history and reality, also an self-examination of a poet who is going to his latter year. The investigation would be a report about poet who could not write poetry and the intellectual who could not think, those who lived in the age of Mu dan and the destiny of Chinese intellect.
