Beautiful Life Attempt

The Woman Warrior: Memoirs of a Girlhood Among Ghosts, which is a famous work of temporary American writer Maxine Hong Kingston who comes from China, is a hard-won work which employs Chinese woman's life temptation and search in multi-cultures and society. According to French writer Simone De Beauvoir's planar theory of"inner character"and"surpassing character", this article analyses the women life in The Woman Warrior: Memoirs of a Girlhood Among Ghosts meticulously, and explore multi-life and cultural notion's change of women foreign citizen of Chinese origin."Hua Mulan"is a splendent woman character in China's history. Maxine Hong Kingston rewrites this story through connection, reconstruction and creation and so on. In this story, Maxine Hong Kingston gives"Hua Mulan"a whole-new growth sphere. This implied some transitions in multi-society. She breaks the life bandage of traditional culture to woman, and awards"Hua Mulan"enough independent rights in the choice of life roads and values. It contains different value choice to individual life road in China and western. In the effect of the inside and outside factors,"Hua Mulan"grows up a woman hero whose double values are achieved wholly."Hua Mulan"figures a successful model of hero to all woman foreign citizens of Chinese origin.Compared potentially to"Hua Mulan", Maxine Hong Kingston portrays and shows three typical destinies of women who stayed in home or three typical cultural results in China and western's intercommunion of people and culture. Being a woman of adhesion to traditional culture",Yue Lan"aunt regard"obey"as the core of belief and rules of behavior, and finally collapse in the collide of other country's culture and environment. Mother begins resistant for independence and stronger after primal obey. Taking part in society, resolving in environment and untiring striving, make mother to overcome the collides of multi cultures and environments, and help him to realize her double values, finally become a model of woman who successes to face the new life. So , Maxine Hong Kingston name her mother after"Yong Lan". Contrary to mother,"innominate aunt"walks to potential resistant in obscuration, But her behavior of betray is forced out by the society. Her show of character and her wooing to love in the period of germination are killed in the cradle such as the baby in her stomach. The death of"innominate aunt"is that traditional culture and society in China jugulate to the new things, and also is the social adhesion to the old custom. History interweaves to realism. The destiny and the social reasons of woman who stay in home in 20s of twenty century provide wider sphere of retro thought to new woman groups who stay in home and which appear in 80s of twenty century.Like my mother, these women's cultural survival and psychological survival are very difficult in the intercommunion of China and western's cultures. Some forfeit their rights of language, and dodge in a close room which is constructed by themselves or the society, such as"Yue Lan"aunt and the little girl. Whereas the others realize the reconnection and amalgamation of culture and psychology, and gain some language rights which have certain character of hometown, such as my mother. But being Cenozoic, I not only oppose to my mother but also to the society, strive to give my pronunciation. Through bold revising the story of"Cai Yan (Cai Wenji)", I construct my national ideal, and eagle to that every people in American can live harmoniously and peaceful coexistence according to their own method of life and custom.The comparison between ideal woman and realistic woman, comparison of totally different destinies of the same age women, and comparison of different generation woman's points to the right of language, show to us the every typical life dentations of women in multi-culture and social environments, and also provide fresh nourishment to research the change of Chinese culture and amalgamation of multi-cultures.
