The Intense Scream of Modern Chinese Women as a Woman:Chinese Poetics of Ding Ling's Ms.Sophie's Diary
Ding Ling's novel Ms.Sophie's Diary has a special place in the literary world as a rebellious scream over the past century.How is such a sharp voice achieved through words?The poetic quality of it is particularly fascinating.The vernacular of the novel is a"wild vernacular",derived from the language form of modem women's babble in diaries.Colloquialism and the prominence of the voice are its important features.This novel adopts a backward focus narrative method.The formation of this backward narrative with feelings as the focus of the narrative is based on Sophie's cognition.Sentences such as"I know"and"I also know"in her novel are the externalization of this cognition,which displays Sophie's self-awareness and the construction of her subjective personality.This is the basis of consciousness for Sophie's"rebellious scream".The dialectic of confession tightens the intensity of the backward focus narrative,thereby pushing the female voice step by step toward the ultimate scream.From the late Qing Dynasty to the 1920s,with the development of the publishing industry and the rise of cultural trends,women were able to speak out in modem public spaces.Sophie's voice,Sun Wuyang's voice,and the expressions of Xu Guangping,Lu Yin and others constitute the female sharp voice of the times.
