This thesis shall discuss the “romantic tradition” influenced by Mr. Wen Rui An, dissertate the aesthetics of essay writing derived from the various “romantic tradition” and the possibly built-u limit. We will also inspect the lost thought of the “Big” subject ever existed in Malaysian Chinese Literature. In addition, individualism had been “localized” to assure the writing patterns of “romantic tradition”, including the lost control of one’s emotional expression, the mopish successors, the “anti-romanticism” and etc. Confrontation of Chinese (clerisy / author) against unchangeable reality was pointed out. Using language to “seek the cause in oneself instead of somebody else” to counteract / defense the specific places of our Chinese (cultures). Prose were written without any reservation for passion and pathos, thus the “obsession” style of “romantic tradition” had become the significant feature of Contemporary Malaysian Chinese Literature.
