Ye Caiping married into the Yu family in Huaihaifang in the late 1970s. This incident caused quite a stir among the people around her. It was verified, explored, tracked, and discussed over and over again for more than half a year. In that era, any woman who could own a square, bright and well-equipped wedding room on Huaihai Road would be like a princess. What's more, Ye Caiping married into Huaihaifang from a three-story pavilion in an old-style lane near Dapuqiao, which was like reaching the sky in one step. In the past, Huaihaifang was called Xiafeifang. It had more than a hundred three-story townhouses that combined Chinese and Western styles. It was quiet, beautiful and elegant in the bustle. Most of the residents were well-off families, and many literati and poets gathered there. The Yu family's house, passed down to Yu Zhiguo's father, only had two main rooms on the second floor facing south.

"Contemporary Chinese Novel: Painting Introduction" interprets that all the joys and sorrows in life, love and love, life and death, are all pinned on a piece of plain brush and a piece of light jade. The joys and sorrows of people's separation and reunion are just a drop of tears in a small pond rolled over by the wheel of history. What witnesses the emotions is only a painting passing through the air under the brush.

The rise of online literature, especially online novels, is an important cultural phenomenon with Chinese characteristics. It not only needs to be understood in a certain social and cultural background, but also needs to be explored from its own characteristics and production methods. As a commensurable humanities and social science research method, semiotics facilitates the pursuit of meaning mechanisms from the perspective of formal culture. The rules in the online literature field revolve around the "popularity" of readers, which deprives the rights of traditional "gatekeepers" while constructing a new evaluation system. The writing behavior and textual narrative of online novels subsequently exhibit intersexual characteristics aimed at establishing an intimate relationship with readers. The injection of capital into literary websites and the network platform production paradigm link the evaluation system with consumption power, further clarifying the rights subjects in the online literature field as consumers among readers. The gender identity distinction in online novel texts has always been relatively obvious. The personality of a single-gender subject is inversely proportional to the downward movement of the author's posture as the writing subject. There are two sources of value for online literature: first, the literary value of the novel text itself; second, the communication and identity value surrounding the novel text. There is no distinction between the two, and the latter is difficult to provide through non-network literature.
