The Implicit Expression of"Heterotopia"in Zai Sheng Yuan
The ballad opera Zai Sheng Yuan(Rebirth)is not merely a work of female fantasy set against a"fictitious"historical background and imaginary space.The author,Chen Duansheng,created a Yuan Dynasty setting that was based on history yet transcended historical reality,constructing a displaced time and space of wise rulers and virtuous ministers.Starting from herself,she created two protagonists,Meng Lijun and Huangfu Shaohua,who have distinct personalities and defy stereotypical social gender impressions,forming a unique mirror pattern.This"heterotopic"im-plicit expression hidden in the text was a bold self-expression and spatial breakthrough by Chen DuanSheng,a tal-ented woman,utilizing the social and cultural background of the Qing Dynasty and her identity advantage.
