Abstract: In the early 1930s,reportage was introduced as a new literary weapon discovered by the international proletariat,reflecting the expectations of left-wing writers for the ideological transformation of this literary style.Ah Ying,Hu Feng,Mao Dun,and others regarded it as an emerging literary style beneficial to the revolutionary struggle of the proletariat,and evaluated its stylistic characteristics around basic issues such as its journalistic,literary,and tendentious nature.In the 1950s,due to the influence of the Soviet Union's “close-up”,the name of “reportage” changed for a time.Unlike the emphasis on criticism in the 1930s and 1940s,reportage in the 1950s and 1960s mainly emphasized praising advanced figures and deeds in a positive way.In the mid to late 1980s,a large number of reportage literature emerged,and they reflected social issues through a comprehensive approach of literature and social sciences,marking the maturity of the reportage style.People had a new understanding of the connotation,extension,and stylistic attribution of the concept of “reportage”.

Key words: reportage, historical evolution, non-fiction literature
