As a typical social novel of the late Qing Dynasty,Huang Xiuqiu centers on the protagonist Huang Xiuqiu,and uses vernacular narrative to record the path of women's enlightenment,and highlights the key events of women's movement such as"releasing bound feet"and"promoting women's education".In the early 20th century,as women's movement in China gained momentum,Huang Xiuqiu was written in response to the times,with its contents closely tied to the current issues.The author,Yi Suo,regarded"releasing bound feet"as the primary task of women's liberation,and delved into the awakening of women's self-consciousness after physical liberation,as well as their pursuit of gender equality.As a part of new-style education,Yi Suo affirmed the role of women's education in disseminating new knowledge and dispelling superstitions,while also pointing out the various drawbacks behind women's education.The novel also reveals Yi Suo's contradictory thoughts,as traditional intellectuals dwelled on reflections over the tide of"Western learning spreading to the East",wandering between conservatism and revolution.
