摘要: 全民族抗战初期由于统一战线的提出,左翼文化人对国民党态度有所缓和,但批评意识并未消失,而是在抗战进入相持阶段,随着国统区民生恶化及国民党统治日益专制再度活跃,引发抗战话剧风格由“乐观的英雄主义”转变为“苦闷灰黯的现实主义”。宋之的的《雾重庆》便是该潮流中的主要作品。中共敏锐察觉到这一思想动向,关注和支持《雾重庆》的排演,也因为此,该剧在重庆首演一再推迟,续演也遭遇波折。与此同时,国民党中央宣传部多位高官下场鼓吹宋之的另一部“良吏”题材的剧作《刑》,戏剧成为国共争夺的重要文化场域。皖南事变后,左翼剧人利用国民党与地方势力、国民党内部派系博弈形成的政治缝隙,推动该剧在两广、湘黔、陕甘及香港等地上演,促进了地方剧运的开展与左翼文化的传播。《雾重庆》的创作折射了流亡知识人战时心态的转变,其所唤起的情感共鸣,也为观察战时社会生态和民众心理提供了可能。该剧还在一定程度上塑造了重庆作为陪都的政治形象,使雾霭成为国民党治下政治气候的象征。
Left-Wing Cultural Dissemination in the Political Interstics of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression——— Take the Staging of Chongqing in the Fog as Example
Abstract: During the early War of Resistance,the United Front temporarily eased left-wing intellectuals'criticism of the Kuomintang (KMT).As the war entered a stalemate stage,this criticism resurged vigorously,fueled by the deteriorating living conditions in KMT-controlled areas and the regime's increasing authoritarianism.This shift was embodied in the transition of Anti-Japanese war drama from an “optimistic heroism” to a “gloomy and somber realism”.Song Zhidi's play,Chongqing in the Fog,emerged as a representative work of this new trend.The Chinese Communist Party (CCP),keenly aware of this ideological shift,paid close attention to and supported the play's rehearsal,which contributed to delays and complications for both its premiere and subsequent runs.Meanwhile,high-ranking KMT officials publicly endorsed another of Song's plays,which glorified “virtuous officials”,highlighting how theatre became a crucial cultural battleground in the CCP-KMT rivalry.Following the South Anhui Incident,left-wing dramatists exploited political interstices—created by tensions between the KMT central government,regional warlords,and internal KMT factions—to stage the play across various regions.This effort significantly boosted the regional drama movement and the dissemination of left-wing culture.The creation of Chongqing in the Fog reflected the evolving mentality of intellectual refugees during the war.The profound emotional resonance it evoked offers a valuable lens through which to observe wartime social ecology and popular psychology.Furthermore,the play contributed to shaping Chongqing's political image as the wartime capital,with its pervasive fog becoming a powerful symbol of the oppressive political climate under KMT rule.
