Review on the Impact of War and Drift on Female Autobiography in The Great Flowing River and Images of Three Lives
This paper is to analyze The Great Flowing River and Images of Three Lives under the guidance of the theory of autobiography writing.Based on the same historical background,these two auto-biographies show Qi Bangyuan's and Nie Hualing's historical experience in the crossed space and time.There appear some similarities between these two autobiographies in their ways of narration,the interpre-tation of history and the presentation of female image.Both of them develop the story through the multiple narrative threads and spatial transference,explain the grand history with the little historical figures and ul-timately award them boundless love in literature for the lifelong drift misery brought by the war.This shows the impact of war and drift on personal narrative and historical narrative in female autobiography writing,which is of great significance in exploring the relationship between the individual and the era in fe-male autobiography and self-growing process of modern women.
