In national discourse, women want to make a difficult choice between fertility and revolution, but also describe the bearing pain, which reveals the female consciousness suppressed by the revolutionary discourse. In individual discourse, female fertility is closely connected with desire.Because women pursuit their own dreams and freedom, which possibly lead to the lack of women’s mothering, they are caught in a deep self-accusation.
