Another Kind of Road:Thoughts of Women's Liberation in May Fourth Movement and Ling Shuhua's Writing
Since the May Fourth Movement,modern intellectuals have criticized the unreasonable elements of feudal ethics and order by portraying the tragic fate of old-fashioned women.At the same time,a large number of standardized"Nara dramas"were created by preaching Ibsenism to construct an understanding of the women's liberation movement and the idea of new women.With the dismal end of the Great Revolution and the discussion in society about"what will happen after Nala leaves",intellectuals have gradually deepened and diversified their exploration of women's liberation,breaking through the established binary model.As a progressive in the radical era,Ling Shuhua used gender opposition to alleviate the conflict between"father"and"son"within the old-fashioned family,and presented it with torn female desires and desperate"new"changes,breaking the optimistic imagination of the intellectual community in the May Fourth period on the topic of women's liberation.Ling Shuhua's unique expression of"breaking through the old and establishing new"is rooted in an individual's growth experience and knowledge structure,presenting a tendency to transcend the times and showcasing a"different"form and possibility of the women's liberation path during the May Fourth period.
