May Fourth Marriage
Literature五四婚姻
Kong Huiyi
The 9th One-Way Street Bookstore Literary Award for the annual work. Scholars such as Wang Dewei, Wang Xiaoming, Zhang Manyi, and Lin Zheng unanimously recommended the works of Hong Kong Literary Biennial Award winner Kong Huiyi. Re-examine the concept of "new women" in the new cultural period, reflect on the discussion and expression of women in the May Fourth Historical Outlook, and retell the legend of women in the era of dramatic changes with affectionate writing. The May Fourth Movement and the New Culture Movement were critical moments in modern Chinese history. Society is in the midst of fluctuations and changes, ideas and cultural concepts are facing renewal, and people's values have undergone tremendous changes. The women's movement has also reached an important juncture. The younger generation has put forward the concept of "new women" and advocated "autonomy in marriage and love" and "independence of personality", which has virtually rewritten the lives of two generations of Chinese women, the "new women" and the "old women". This book recounts three famous divorces and eight marriages in the New Culture Period. The author Kong Huiyi goes against the male-centered biography tradition and searches for the lost female voices in history. From a feminist perspective, she retells the marriage and love stories of Zhu An, Xu Guangping, Jiang Dongxiu, Cao Peisheng, Zhang Youyi, Lu Xiaoman and Lin Huiyin, showing the ups and downs of the "old" and "new" generations of women in the era of great changes. Through these seven characters with different personalities and backgrounds, this book attempts to explore the practical problems faced by women at that time and depict the various faces of Chinese women in the period of change. Their experiences can also help us re-understand the concept of "new women" during the New Culture Movement and reflect on the discussion and expression of women in the May Fourth Historical View.
