However, as a more conscious literary school, realism usually refers to a major literary trend of thought and movement that has replaced romanticism in European literature and art since the 1930s. Realism belongs to a writing technique of pure literature and conforms to the characteristics of pure literature.

What is pure literature? It is the basic feature of pure literature to clean up political lies, moral lies, business lies, lies to safeguard class power and ignorance. Therefore, the most basic method of realism is to do all the lies and objectively present the real life and human characteristics. Of course, this does not mean that realism cannot be fictional.

On the contrary, in order to clean up lies and express them objectively, we must borrow artistic techniques such as fiction, which does not harm realism.
