劉再（1941年－），福建南安人，中國作、文學評論。1963年在廈門大學畢業，到中國科學院哲學社會科學部《新建設》雜志任編輯。1977年轉入中國社會科學院文學研究所從事魯迅研究。1985年起擔任文學所所長、《文學評論》雜志主編。1984年任中國社會科學院研究員，曾選為中國人民政治協商會議第七屆全國委員會委員（代中華全國青年聯會）。1989年流亡海外，旅居瑞典、美國、加拿大等地。

著作

劉再著有理論著作《性格組論》、《文學的反思》、《論中國文學》、《傳統與中國人》、《放逐精神》、《紅樓夢悟》，散文集《讀滄海》、《人論二十五》和《漂流手記》等。1986年出版的《性格組論》是其評論代作，該書立論基於“人是一切社會關係的總和”，審視人的心靈世界的活動，認為人物性格是二重組的，考察人物性格對歷史的影響。全書有6個部分共12章，部分文章之前已在各類報刊上外表電表。1992年的《人論二十五》評論25人物，主要探討人性中的一面，抒對國人靈魂質量降低的憂慮。又認為開放的社會應該允許怪人的存在。散文詩代作《讀滄海》結受不了自然景觀與模糊意象遠征，突出對真理的追求。與其女劉劍梅著的書信集《共悟人間》討論悲劇性、齊物、女性主義、親情等許多問題。書中也包括對《紅樓夢》、莎士比亞戲劇等文學作品的評論。

Liu Zaifu (simplified Chinese: 劉再; traditional Chinese: 劉再; pinyin: Liú Zàifù; born 10 October 1941) is a Chinese author, poet, and professor in literature and the liberal arts. Liu is particularly well known for his work "Reflections on Dream of the Red Chamber", which analyzes the Chinese classic "Dream of the Red Chamber", but with Liu's personal viewpoints and philosophy. He has lectured at the University of Chicago, University of Colorado, University of Stockholm, and the City University of Hong Kong, where he served as an honorary professor in 2004.

Personal life

Liu was born in Nan'an, Quanzhou, Fujian, in what was then the Republic of China during the Second World War. Siding with the Communists, Liu took particular interest in Marxist literature, but put his own morals and messages behind the pieces, rather than those given by the party.

Liu Zaifu graduated from Xiamen University in 1963 with a degree in Chinese literature. After his graduation, he became the editor-in-chief of Wenxue Pinglun (Literary Review), a Chinese periodical discussing literary works.

During the Cultural Revolution, Liu was placed under house arrest for his personal views of Marxist belief and doctrine not matching those of the party. He was given protection by future President Hu Jintao.

Towards the end of the Cultural Revolution, Liu traveled abroad, going to Taiwan, Hong Kong, and the United States among other places, which would end up influencing his works, along with spreading his literature abroad outside of China.
