Japanese: 蔣光慈 - しょうこうじ（英語表記）Jiǎng Guāng cí

1901‐31
Chinese novelist. Born in Lu'an, Anhui Province. His real name was Jiang Guangchi, or Jiang Xiaseng. After the May Fourth Movement, he studied in Moscow (1921-24). After returning to China, he published a collection of poems called "New Dreams" and essays in which he praised the October Revolution and shocked the young generation by preaching about the class nature of literature. In 1928, he formed the Taiyang Press with Qian Xingcun (A Ying) and others, and launched a revolutionary literature movement. His novels include "Young Vagabond," but "Winds in the Countryside," his first posthumous book, is notable for depicting class struggle in rural areas and being one of the first to incorporate Jing Gangshan into his novels.

1901‐31
中国の小説家。安徽省六安の生れ。本名は蔣光赤，あるいは蔣俠僧ともいう。五･四運動の後，モスクワへ留学(1921‐24)，帰国後，詩集《新夢》や論文を発表してロシアの十月革命を賛美し，文学の階級性を説いて青年層に衝撃をあたえた。1928年には銭杏邨(阿英)らと太陽社を結成して革命文学運動を展開。小説には《少年飄泊者》などがあるが，死後，はじめて単行本として出版された《田野の風》は，農村の階級闘争を描き井岡山をいち早く小説にとりこんでいる点でも注目される。
