 Prospects for Chinese Writing Reform
Mao’s new directive included the following specific points: (1) developing a new alphabetic scheme that was “national in form,” (2) promoting Putonghua as the exclusive national standard, and (3) placing primary emphasis on simplification of characters.
What Mao had in mind by a “national in form” script, and why (besides the reason advanced by Zhou Enlai) he adopted this new orientation, have been made plain by Peter Hessler, a writer for The New Yorker, in a report of his interview with Zhou Youguang, a leading figure in the writing reform movement.
Mao did not like any of the schemes that were “national in form.” In 1956 he finally accepted the one based on the Latin alphabet.

Likewise, Mao Zedong's own work in the rural areas in 1925 and 1926 led him to see the farmers differently.

Literary societies as agents in cultural transformation have conventionally received a tremendous amount of attention in the study of modern Chinese literature.
In his preface to one of the volumes of Zhao Jiabi's Compendium of Modern Chinese Literature (Zhongguo xin wenxue daxi; 1935), Mao Dun supported the use of literary societies as the organizing principle for this important canonizing collection.
Though not necessarily the starting point for this sort of representation, the Compendium is a striking example of a general inclination among Chinese literary figures to divide their field into collective entities and structure the history of their field around literary societies.
