In recent years, although the scholars on Chinese mainland have deepened their research on the Hong Kong literature, the situation that the HK literature, to some extend, has been ignoring, hasn't been changed fundamentally, and further, the potential to its research NOT been fully explored. In the mean time, the feminism is facing all kinds of secrete worries as it was bora and developed in China. These worries include the inferior quality of some works of feminism, the misunderstanding and bias of people's knowledge on feminism, etc.Thus, the thesis focuses on the new feminism displayed in Li Bihua's novel creations, in an attempt to showcase the art world of the HK literature, as well as promoting the healthy development of feminism in the new period.The essay, on the basis of explaining the basic connotation, the development cause and major characteristics of feminism, discusses and explores the backgrounds that affect the birth of Li Bihua's new feminism creations, from the perspectives of Li's personal life experience, the social environment and her foreordination ideology. It also analyzes the writing strategies of Li's novels, which include: to rebuild men and women's images which are completely different from those in the traditional literature works, by undermining simulatively men's dominancy and recognizing highly women's independence in the society; to topple down and reconstruct the relationship between men and women, by playing down men's influence and giving prominence to women's social status; to rethink about women's tragical fate, by lamenting woman's endless pursuit to the unreachable true love and free life.In addition, the thesis also tries to decode the art and literature charm of Li Bihua's new feminism, through displaying her novel's themes, creation modes, story-telling methods and research angles.
