Abandoned Wives Image Of Su Qing And Chi Li Described Feminist Interpretation

This paper mainly does a case study of works by Su Qing and Chi Li, "The Ten Years of Marriage" and "Hello, Miss", using a feminism theory to analyze the abandoned woman images. From which, we have found the abandoned women of these two works have distinctive characteristics of feminism. Although they are through painful struggle, strenuous efforts to violate male chauvinism, they finally fail. In a sense, their fates are even in transmigration. The reason is that, although the abandoned women described by Su Qing shake off men in economy and spirit, as the exodus Nora, and throw themselves into the flood of society, they inevitably fall into the dilemma between family and career. The abandoned women described by Chi Li, discarded by men, live on strongly and confidently, but they lose their nature as a wife at the same time, so in some extent, they are not complete women. Because "the ideal women should be a trinity of mother, wife ad woman". Human being are made up of male and female. The living status, breaking away from male and against male is not the ideal status for female. Thus, the awareness of being attached to male, caused by the thousand years of male chauvinism cannot be removed all at once, and it is easily to go to another extreme, leading to losing oneself or spirit collapse, which illustrates the hardship and long term of women liberation.This paper will be divided into three parts. The first part is divided into three sections, with specific background, analyzing the female nature o f the abandoned women described by Su Qing and Chi Li, from which to explain their awareness of feminism and resisting to male chauvinism, which are new characteristics compared to the previous literature. The second part is the key of this paper, which is divided into four sections, to analyze how the spirits of the abandoned woman images described by Su Qing and Chi Li connect together across half of the century. Because they have something in common:they both deny the traditional marriage and family structure, the female subject consciousness are both rising on a certain extent, and they both fight against the male chauvinism. Although they are discarded by men, they can live on themselves, and have their social status. Although they live in different age, they have many things in common. The third part is divided into three sections, which anglicize the differences of the abandoned women images described by Su Qing and Chi Li from the author's standpoints, writing theories and narrating strategies, and finally outlook the ideal future of women from their separate researches on the outlets of women.
