Female Labor Narration In Zhao Shuli's Novels

From the 40th to the 60th century in the 20th century,Zhao Shuli had always paid attention to working women in rural areas.From "MengXiangying's Turning Over","Heirloom","SanliWan" to "DuanlianDuanlian",Zhao Shuli has always focused on "labor" and tried to find the ownership of the era for women rural in the levels of the liberation of women,newcomers of the times,cooperative movement,and labor alienation.Labor has become the core issue of Zhao Shuli 's series of rural female images.However,regarding the discussion of Zhao Shuli's female "labor narrative",the academic circles have always been more controversial and mixed.Both the old rural women criticized by Zhao Shuli and the new working women who praised will be more or less questioned under the western feminist theory.For example,some researchers believe that the images of MengXiangyingand Jin Gui are the products of a new generation of patriarchal rights;in this feminist position and context,Zhao Shuli's novels are backward.Typical women,such as SanxianGu,the mother of Li Cheng,and"ChiBubao""XiaoTuiteng",also show the "limitation" of Zhao Shuli's concept of women.In fact,Western feminist theory has experienced a long period of historical development and can also be seen as part of Western feminist movements and female emancipation culture practices.This is quite different from the liberation movement of China's vast rural women in the era of Zhao Shuli.How can rural women's liberation in the context of revolutionary China be reverted to structural history?Zhao Shuli's female writing with "labor narrative" as the core has touched the basic problem of female rural liberation in China to some extent.Therefore,using "women's labor" as a key word,this article is divided into three chapters.Through relevant texts,policy decisions,periodical newspapers,memoirs,oral history and other texts and documents,Zhao Shuli'swere combed out the unique expression of women's labor among history,policies,and texts in the20 years.The first chapter focuses on the development of women's "turning narrative"in the 1940s from school education to production labor.Zhao Shuli's"MengXiangyingTurning Over" is a biographical novel formed on the basis of an investigation and interview with MengXiangying,a female labor hero of the Taihang Mountains.He changed the former narrative model of school education as a prerequisite for the emancipation of women,and used production labor as a female model.The key link in the liberation of emancipation was to transform the subject of women's liberation earlier from the more general "enlightenment narration" to the "labor narrative" at that time,and express Zhao Shuli's deeper understanding ofthe issue of turning rural women.The second chapter mainly discusses the issue of female labor in the narrative of cooperative movement.Zhao Shuli meticulously combed out the different aspects of women's participation in physical labor,textile labor,and housework.Although Zhao Shuli once stressed the importance of women working in farmland based on the needs of the actual labor force,women's production labor and family work under the background of cooperative movement.The question of how to balance labor always maintains thinking by Zhao Shuli.In "SanliWan",Zhao Shuli tried to include various forms of working women,such as physical strength,brain power,and housework,into the Utopian narrative based on the imagination of public canteens and nurseries.Women are given the right to speak in their efforts to establish self-worth and reconstruct the family,but they are still in a tug-of-war between family(housework)and collective(production labor).The third chapter focuses on Zhao Shuli's self-consciousness,confusion and constant adjustment in the narrative of female body in the historical process of feminization of farming.During the Great Leap Forward,as a large number of rural male laborers were transferred to participate in large-scale steelmaking and construction of water conservancy,the replacement of working women became the mainstay of the labor force.Facing the historical fact that women's labor load has been increasing,Zhao Shuli has been accelerating her rhythm in the narrative of female bodies,and the female's capable and decisive labor image coincides with the general social line of pursuing more and more rapid provinces.However,Zhao Shuli,who has always focused on rural realities,still maintains a sober mind,constantly adjusts his narrative strategy,and attempts to solve the heavy-duty problem of female labor with the narrative strategy of "technological revolution" and "politics in command of the politics",but it does not work.During this period,the image of female labor heroes in their writings also gradually became symbolized.
