Abstract
Marxism and its philosophy exert an important influence on the development of reportage. This phenomenon is more prominent especially in China. Reportage has the essence of dialectics, and it is because of the unique content, the needs of the external form and internal choices that the reportage text development and the practice of the writers ’reportage should absorb and use the dialectical materialism epistemology and methodology to realize the healthy development of the text itself and the social value of the works guided by the scientific theory. This is what reportage differs from the rest of the texts from the start. As China is highly developed in terms of reportage and it has had tremendous achievements made by generations of writers in the past one hundred years, it should undertake the historical responsibility to promote common development of the world’s reportage. The great development of China also brings a brilliant future to the cause of reportage. Therefore, Chinese reportage, which is closely linked to the great “Chinese dream”, will become increasingly mature and perfect both with the practice of the majority of writers and with the appreciation of vast numbers of readers.
