The writing of the private sphere by late left-wing writers is often characterized by “publicization”. The correction of “leftist tendency” is the incentive for the late leftist writers to write about the private sphere, and the context of the rented world provides an opportunity for the leftist writers to turn to the private sphere to reflect the combination of revolution and life. Doors and windows gave a gap between the private space and became a channel and reflection between the private and the public, not only as a sign of identity, but also filling the private sphere with public discourses of nationality, class and politics. The “urban island” character of the tenement provides a possibility for the writers living there to write about the “hidden” private sphere. The “publicization” of the private sphere is the flexible integration of family morality and public morality, and the writing of civic life transcends the narrow spiritual realm, highlights the flexibility of morality, and realizes the transition from the radical spirit of revolutionary pragmatism to the realistic spirit of life, and realism realizes the shift from the class discourse to the national discourse.
