Hong Kong is marginal for many reasons, and Li Bihua is more.In 1985, which was a special and sensitive era, she published the maiden work---Rouge. The work didn't only turn out to be a runaway best-seller quickly, but also called for nostalgic feelings in contemporary writing of Hong Kong immediately."sexuality" was a topic in Rouge. In the text, the author---Li Bihua didn't strongly emphasize the sexual relationships of opposite and paradoxical. Actually, she had only one aim----discuss how to set up the new sexual relationships of benign and mutual. And the new sexual relationships just showed that she had a tolerant and gentle attitude to sexual problem, which is different from conventional feminist."The consciousness of Hong Kong" was another topic in this novel. "The regression of Hong Kong in 1997" would come true, and people of Hong Kong had what attitude toward the historical thing, which became a strong attraction. Behind of the text, she pointed out directly and cruelly that the attitude of self-deceiving is illusive, and great effort of reconstructing the consciousness was unavailing.The paper will try to use the way of textual analysis and interpretation on Rouge. This paper is composed of four parts. The chapter one: introduction, mostly elaborates author's life and creative writing situation, and introduce the correlative study of Li Bihua's novel at home and abroad currently as well as the motive and study area of this thesis. Chapter two and chapter three: concretely analyze the sexual relationships and reconstructing the consciousness of Hong Kong in Rouge, and treat the question on the reconstruction which has illusive and sarcastic in itself. Last part: conclusion. In this part, I will summarize how Li bihua subvert the sexual relationships and reconstructing the consciousness of Hong Kong in Rouge, and in the same time, make clear Li Bihua's creative writing attitude behind the reconstruction.
