The Study On Female Narrative Of Hong Ying's Novels

The thesis is to study the narrative characteristics of Hong Ying's novels in a way of intensive reading texts from the female perspective, linking outstanding subjects including history, desire, homosexuality and death in her novels.History is not only the moving setting of characters in Hong Ying's novels, but also one of the important subjects expressed by the novels. Hong Ying penetrates through the dense fog of great history, and returns to the historical situation with her personal rich imaginations and experiences, then walks into her proper affective world through the historical writing. She pays attention to the exquisite affection of unimportant characters, and sings the beautiful affection and love in the war stream from the female perspective. She relates personal growth closely with historical process, thus revealing the doubtful crack of the textual history. She makes a historical complement and rewriting from her personal angle, writes out the female and individual micro-history, and by which the historical transition of whole society is illuminated.Hong Ying is good at write about desire with women as the main characters and exerts it to the perfection. She breaks bravely female's passive, powerless and false body covered by male desire, writes bluntly out female's desire of material, aspiration of affection, and pursuing of spirit, and makes in deed female as vivid and lovely life. More valuably, they do not lose themselves in desire, but transcend it, pursuing the realization of self-value. This is completely contrary to the admonishment about women regulated by our traditional culture that women must grin and bear all sufferings, abide by the law and behave themselves. It overthrows absolutely the impure fame of "female desire" defined by the male right world.Homosexuality has been a pungent topic through all ages. Hong Ying does not imagine subjectively this marginal population for seeking novelty, but pays them understanding, care and love from her deep heart. She retrospects individuals' growing course, steps in the soul deep to understand their affection and hate, listens to their unspeakable suffering, and represents in the form of art their real scrabbling and helplessness. The entanglement of love and hate between male homosexuals is gripped vividly and the mental stress unsupported by their lives is written out in her novels. The female homosexuals in the novels do not love only females, but turn to comparatively tender persons of the same sex to seek comforts after being hurt by the opposite sex. The love between them is just like the love between sisters. Homosexuality, to them, is just an attitude toward their lives, a resistance to the patriarchal society with deep helplessness and desolation.Hong Ying's exploration of the death subject involves her passion of ideal and deliberation of appropriation desire, intervention of real life difficulties, analysis of complex relationship between male and female, disclosure of imagining differences of western cultures, criticism of the irrational man right culture, heckling of the Culture Revolution history, pondering of life meaning, and ultimate concern of the human mental world. Hong Ying shows the tragedies to a shocking perfection. She, in the examination of death, magnifies virtually the severe and chronic illnesses of real life and the mainstream culture puzzling us for a long time, in the hope of bringing us the convulsive mental impact, leading us to jump out the ignorant mediocre inertia, and remaking a transcendent scanning of life, thereby, understanding the life meaning more profoundly.The amplitude eye sight, liberal spirit, sharp insight, exquisite affection and distinct standpoint make the seemingly common subjects shine brightly and bloom peculiar brilliance in Hong Ying's writing.
