Summary: | 碩士 === 國立屏東大學 === 中國語文學系碩士班 === 103 === The modern female writers who appeared initially in the period of the May Fourth Movement include Chen Heng-zhe who developed Contemporary Chinese literature and Lu Yin as well as Bing Xing who both responded to this trend. They created the Social Problem Fictions and explored various problems encountered by people. For Lu Yin, the purpose of writing is to search for females’ independent personality and self-liberation; women’s imagination eradicates men’s desire for power and reveals a complicated inner world; meanwhile it exposes the darkness of society and caters to identification of nationhood.
