From Humans To Women Or From Women To Humans

Human relationship is the relationship between men and women that has a profound influence on the direction and development of human civilization. In particular, we regard a woman’s place as a ruler to measure human civilization through the ages. Karl Heinrich Marx stated that, without the enzyme of women, there can not be great social change. However, the establishment of patriarchal system alienates relationship between women and men, and in the past in the political, economic and cultural systems almost all established scales are based on male standards. In this context of powerful male, women will never get a chance to make their voices heard and never reveals their own needs. In China, most women are still in the edge of the social status, living in the countryside and working quietly for family life. Thus, when the rural women exist as a separate entity without being attached to any male authority, it is possible for full development of women.In the view of narrative study of the life history, this thesis studies rural women individuals, records and unscrambles life track of some of them by applying the social gender theory and related concepts in order to dig out rich connotation of female development and life ethics, as well as to probe into the female moral ethics behind family life of marriage. From daughterhood to wife and then to motherhood, women undergo transition of social identities and experience the changes of family structure. In the network of utterly strange relations of family ethics, their relationship with members of the husband’s family is bound to be complicate and delicate after marriage. Conjugal relation that is based on parentage plays a balancing role. After the birth of their kids, family’s concern, including that of couples and older people, transfers to the upbringing and education of children. Maternity, upbringing and fostering is not a simple manifestation of rural women’s spirit as well as of the entire female groups, and they implement this moral spirit throughout their life.
