What is the theme, structure, and character analysis of Mao Dun s Lin Family Shop .

"Lin Family Shop" is a microcosm of the vast society at that time, and it is a typical image presentation. Realism pays attention to "truly reproducing typical characters in typical environments", and selects, refines, and generalizes real life materials through typical methods, so as to profoundly reveal some essential characteristics of life. It can be said that typification is the core of realism and the mark that distinguishes it from naturalism.

The phenomena of life are complex and complex, and the truthful recording of life is nothing but the craft of a photographer; Realism requires the author to select meaningful characters and events from the colorful real life, and through personalized and generalized artistic processing, to create typical characters and typical environmental images. The authenticity of the details is also shown in this film. Realist works require realistic details to be depicted, and social life is reflected with historical and concrete life pictures.

At the beginning of the film, when the town's shops sell at reduced prices to welcome the end of the year, a series of details of the reduction in farmers' purchasing power are depicted. The peasants were hungry for a wide variety of goods, but they hurried away just to see them. This problem is not only in the Lin family's shop, but widely in all merchants.

The bankruptcy of the rural economy is obvious. Thirdly, the work also presents the objectivity of the specific way of depiction. Through an objective and specific description of real life, the editors naturally reflect the creator's ideological tendencies and love-hate feelings from the scenes and plots of the work, rather than the creators themselves or through the mouths of the characters.

For example, in the portrayal of the character of Boss Lin, a significant modification of the original work of the film is the addition of the plot of Boss Lin asking for debts from a smaller merchant, Boss Wang. To say that it is remarkable is not in the sense of the plot, but in the attitude of the creator. Through this small change, the creator's attitude towards Boss Lin has surpassed the "pitiful" in the original work and become neutral.

And through the detailed presentation of the scene, people feel that this attitude is real and convincing. The film's plays fully follow the creative requirements of literary realism, which is the basic guarantee of film realism.

Boss Lin is a cautious small businessman who operates groceries and auxiliary goods, and he has a good way of doing business, turning part into a whole, and seeing the big from the small.

Shou Sheng, shrewd and capable, loyal, he is Boss Lin's right and left hand, when the Lin family shop was facing closure, he had no illusions about the reactionary ruling group at that time, and persuaded Boss Lin to leave, which was a manifestation of his "weak" resistance, as for what to do after leaving, he did not have a "vision", which was also determined by his own limitations as a small clerk, but for his class, there was still a certain progressiveness.

Mao Dun's "Lin Family Shop" depicts the bankruptcy of a small shop in a small town near Shanghai before and after the "128" incident. The boss's surname is Lin, and he is accustomed to doing business diligently, and does not let go of the small profits that can be obtained in every transaction. However, the imperialist economic invasion, the flooding of the market with oriental goods, and the rise of the salvation movement, the boycott of Japanese goods affected the town, and Boss Lin was impacted.

Under the influence of the war in Shanghai, the money village tightened its chassis, and the debt collectors in the town were dispatched one after another, so that Boss Lin's financial resources dried up. The biggest impact is the reduction of farmers' purchasing power, which makes the business of the Lin family's shop depressed and cold. In addition, the reactionary army extorted, bandits, public order, extortion by Kuomintang officials, and unscrupulous competition among peers, the Lin family shop was embattled.

The young clerk Shou Sheng, who was smart and capable, quickly adapted to the new environment, and learned some capitalist business methods, such as selling "one-dollar goods", which made the business seem to have a turnaround; But it is only a return to the light, and in the end it cannot escape the inevitability of bankruptcy. When Boss Lin was in danger, he married the young lady and ran away in a hurry. In the end, it was a group of poor people who demanded debts from the Lin family who suffered the heaviest losses.

Although it is written about the fate of a small shop, it reflects the reality of the economic collapse of the entire country. A short story can have such a deep meaning, which is rare in modern **.

"Lin Family Shop" embodies the authentic artistic tradition of Chinese cinema.

The basic experience of all excellent films from the beginning of China's cinema to the 60s of the 20th century can be reflected by it.

**Through the description of the whole process of the closure of the Lin family shop, it fully demonstrates the social and economic development of the township during this period, profoundly exposes the social contradictions in this period, and ruthlessly indicts the decadent and dark social reality.

The first contradiction to be exposed is the contradiction between Japanese imperialism and the Chinese nation, and the second major contradiction to be exposed is the contradiction between the bureaucratic bourgeoisie and the working people.

The third contradiction that the work aims to expose is the contradiction between the landlord class and the working people.

In addition, the author also focused on the dumping and exclusion of Mr. Wu, the boss of his peer Yuchangxiang, to the Lin family's shop.
