== As a literary man ==
The experience of political conflict broadened his horizon in literature, and therefore the theme of his later writing was mostly based on this. He then helped to found the League of Left-Wing Writers in 1930. His most famous and important novel, Ziye (Midnight), was published in 1933. When the People's Republic of China was established by the Communist Party of China in 1949, Mao Dun became the Minister of Culture. Mao Dun was dismissed and cruelly treated in the Cultural Revolution. After the Cultural Revolution, he became an editor of a children's magazine, and died in 1981.
