A Study On "Women-Intellectuals" In Zong Pu's Fictions

Zong Pu is a female writer with unique style in Chinese contemporary literary world.She has created many female images with different personalities in her fictions,most of whom are the generation of intellectuals that have experienced the national destiny and ideological transformation movement.The fictions focus on the way of life and mental state of female intellectuals in the context of history,showing the historical horizon of women and the speculative cognition of history,society and even modernization process because of female experience.What are unique lies in that,on the one hand,the fictions integrate the psychological characteristics of female subjects,perspective experience and way of expression with the depths of history and researches the historical outlook with the characteristics of female subjects;on the other hand,women witness and bear the history through intellectual temperament,explore the spirit and soul of “human” as the “watchman of human spirit”,and express themselves by showing their own strength and wisdom,which reveal consciousness of social participation and humane care of women.Thus,the two-side identity of “women-intellectuals” have been unified and developed in women.The “women-intellectuals” in the history of ups and downs have been developed from awakening,struggling,rooting to self-confirmation.They get through the close siege step by step and witness the rise and fall of Chinese history with a unique dynamic vision and a process of self-development.Having gone through the real society and the fearless struggle,these women have stepped forward to the stage of history,bearing even more of the great era and disaster than men.Throughout the narrative of history,Zong Pu gets rid of the traditional ideology of male power and the barrier of established historical structure consciously.Instead,she represents a so-called surging “Great Era” based on a more “personal” point of view,reflects the history with a profound expression of “no words”,constructs the ideological dimension of the female intellectuals,expresses the rational reflection and the intellectual thoughts of history and tries to dig into the historical profoundness under the female visual threshold.These fictions are based on the humanitarian to witness historyof human beings.The author considers the historical development and process of the nation-state as a flesh-and-blood human product,expresses the historical humanistic thoughts poetically and explores the inner events of the intellectuals' minds.In addition,the fictions try to review,subvert and rewrite the history according to the unique experience of “women-intellectuals”,which,on one hand,are established in the improvement of human nature and focus on the return of human nature on the occasion of wars and disasters;on the other hand,the author looks to the growth and liberation of women in the river of long history.Therefore,the female images created in Zong Pu's fictions have constructed the individual's subjective consciousness and subjective value with the two-side identity of“women-intellectuals” and have won the female scholarly personality and intellectual personality in the historical mirror.When dealing with the relationship with themselves,they adhere to the personality of intellectuals on the moral dimension and explore the loss of self-existence on emotional dimension,which complete the establishment of the exploration course of “self-subject”.When dealing with the relationship with other people,women could examine and reflect on the historical scene from their own position.The spiritual pursuit of the female individual resonates with the historical fashion,and its subjective consciousness and the subject value are empowered in the history to realize the imagination of the female becoming the "subject of history".Finally,the author draws on the definition of "modernity" by Baudelaire to discuss the image of “women-intellectuals” the modern value of subjective imagination.First,these fictions approve the national feelings and the rules of conduct from the emotional perspective and presentation of female,which provide a reference and thinking paradigm for academia;Second,they set up a bridge of historic enlightenment from the establishment of "self-subject" to the accomplishment of "historical subject";Finally,they refer to the present situation of women's survival and cognition and promote the cultural connotation of constructing personality of modern female.
