New Sensationists

The New Sensationists (simplified Chinese: 新感觉派; traditional Chinese: 新感覺派; pinyin: Xīn Gǎnjué Pài) were a group of writers that emerged in the late 1920s in Shanghai, whose revolutionary use of language, structure, theme, and style is seen as influential to Chinese modernist literature.^[1][2] They wrote fiction that was more concerned with the unconscious and with aesthetics than with politics or social problems. Among these writers were Mu Shiying, Liu Na'ou, and Shi Zhecun.^{[citation needed]}
