The background is the female-dominated period of the Republic of China. It shows the sharp conflict between the liberation consciousness of some highly educated men and social reality during the female-dominated period of the Republic of China, as well as their own ambivalence when facing gender issues. All the words in the novel are completing the same theme: the character and quality naturally revealed by young people at the critical moment of the nation, as well as the foundation of the traditional national mentality and the awe-inspiring righteousness of the nation. Its significance is to bring people back into the aftertaste and experience of the history of the Chinese nation at a time of life and death, highlighting the vitality, soul, and future of the nation with its perseverance, tenacity and enthusiasm.
Purpose: When intellectuals pursue their ideal path in the great era, they are implicitly or explicitly connected with China's long history, cultural traditions, temperament, sentiments and lifestyle of the intellectual class, but they are inextricably linked.
