Equality is more important than freedom:The novel Regret for the Past as a text of intellectual history
From the heated pursuit of the free image of Lady Roland by women in the late Qing Dynasty to the imitation of the image of Nora by women in the May Fourth Movement,it can be seen that women's enlightenment ideas have entered a mindset of"freedom"suppressing"equality"since the end of the Qing Dynasty.Lu Xun's novel Regret for the Past continues He Zhen's reflection on gender equality in the late Qing Dynasty,criticizing the phenomenon of"freedom"obscuring"equality"since the end of the Qing Dynasty,and opposing the enlightenment approach of transforming"gender power issues"into"new and old hierarchical issues".Moreover,Lu Xun's reflection on the frequent reminiscing of love between men and women in Regret for the Past denies the view of love freedom based on the preferences of the strong during the May Fourth Movement,and criticizes the destructive reality brought about by the thinking of"freedom"suppressing"equality".At the same time,Regret for the Past highlights the importance of"equality in housework"in free love and marriage,proposes that the gender nature of daily housework does not exclusively belong to women,and emphasizes that"equality in housework"is as important as"economic equality"and"spiritual equality".In short,Regret for the Past is one of the signs of the maturity of modern feminist thought.
