Abstract Family， as a common topic in the research of ancient literature，can also be applied to the studies of modern literature. The case of Zhao Shuli is an example. Along with the decline of his family fortunes， Zhao were impoverished and witnessed suffering to a great extent. His strong empathy aroused him to establish a long-standing faith of “for the peasant”. When the “peasant-oriented” faith was projected into discourse practice， Zhao intended to maintain the integrity of rural family， understand farmers' short-term future prospects， and attach great importance to the personal dignity of the poor. However， once taken to extremes， faith would become a spiritual burden. “To protect farmers' consciousness consciously” brought Zhao to a bottleneck in his writing. Excessive reliance on folk resources led him to the rigidity of literary narration. In addition， Zhao witnessed many friends and relatives cut off their livelihoods due to the loss of land， so he could not extricate himself from the intense relationship between farmers and land， which inflicted his paranoid sentiment of refusing the rural youth to leave the countryside in hope of their staying on the land for generations. Zhao's family gives rise to his faith of “for the peasant” while it is paradoxically mixed with “against the peasant”.
