Abstract

For a long time, the study of female narrative in Chinese modern and contemporary litera ture has been deeply influenced by Western gender theories. The female problems in Chinese history and literature in the 20th century were usually understood from the perspective of gender binary confrontation. It is believed that previous research lacked resistance to male centrism in the 20th century. In both ″hu man′s enlightenment″ and ″people′s Liberation″, there were neglect, repression, discipline and even ob literation of women. Chinese modern and contemporary literature, as a 20th century Chinese literature that goes hand in hand with the 20th century Chinese history, has its own discussion, expression and presentation of women′s issues. However, there are important differences between Chinese ″women′s lib eration″ in the 20th century and European and American gender theories in issues such as the premise context, specific connotation and goal meaning. The issue of ″women′s liberation″ presented by contem porary literature and culture researches needs to be understood in the realist historical process rather than in an established theoretical framework.

Key words
