The Pursuit Of Divergent Roads In Life

Born in Fujian, Lu Yin was an important woman writer during May Fourth movement new literary pioneering. She was not only good at novel, but also achieved in poem and prose. She used her achievement in writing to predict woman's role in the development of Chinese modern literature. Along with Bing Xin, Feng Yuanjun, Ling Shuhua, Su Xuelin etc promoted the development of Chinese modern novel and made a big contribution to the development of modern literature.She was sensitive and outspoken. Unfortunately, she suffered much in her life, which determined why she always expressed her sadness in her writing. This style wrote naturally in her works. She always told her life story and her feeling to the readers which made them feel empathy with this unfortunate woman. We were moved her novel because her works was full of sincere feeling and awaken women requested for ideal society, Life and women's life raised in feudal atmosphere. We should thank for May Fourth movement. It provided special time to develop individuality and shaped a particular style writer. Without May Fourth movement, it is impossible for LuYin to express boldly her own feeling. Just as Mr MaoDun said: We now read the all works of LuYin as if we feel May Fourth movement again.This paper consists of four chapters. The First chapter deals with the reason of LuYin's writing style. The second and third chapters take the thought of LuYin's writing as starting point in feminist critical approach to mainly discuss women's fate. The fourth chapter discusses artistic aesthetic feature of LuYin's works. Through studying LuYin and her works, I find this excellent literary pioneer during May Fourth movement who should be affirmed in terms of herself and her works in value and position of the development of Chinese literature.
