Chinese Anti-Japanese Literature,and Singaporean and Malaysian Chinese Anti-Japanese Literature are important parts of the Sinophone Literature.Although they are two independent individuals in the geographical dimension,they have a continuous blood connection in the time dimension and the literary dimension.There is an uniform and stable literary space temporarily found between Chinese Anti-Japanese Literature,and Singaporean and Malaysian Chinese Anti-Japanese Literature.The interior of the literary space is full of shouting for life and roaring of salvation by Chinese authors and Singaporean and Malaysian Chinese writers.Generally speaking,there are three characteristics inside.First of all,it is about war.Females who “fight” for the nation-state,females who are “difficult” to survive,and females who are “confused” by individual lust are three basic female images in the literary space.Regardless of whether females in the literature directly participated in the war,their daily lives and life trajectories have undergone tremendous changes due to the war.Secondly,it has a distinctive male-centric discourse characteristic.Males not only guide females liberation and dominate their life in the family,but also become typical role models and targets in the social revolution on the road of the War of Resistance Against Japan for female.Finally,it also has a strong national consciousness.The author constructs the three kinds of females images with a realistic approach.In this way,the author highlights the close relationship between female and the shared destiny of the nation-state,and presents the necessity of females’ participation in the War of Resistance Against Japan.The author’s recognition and advocacy of females’ participation in national wars reflects his own awareness of the crisis of the nation-state.These females images are compared from the perspective of cultural mirroring.First of all,the female images and the author constitute a mirror image relationship.The author shapes the female images who“fight” for the nation-state,gives them the ideological characteristics of enlightening the masses,and uses female’s physical suffering to tell the cruelty of the war.Through these two methods,the author expresses his/her sense of resistance against Japan and the feelings of patriotism.Then,the male and female images in the text constitute a mirror image relationship.Under the requirements and constraints of the male-centered discourse order,the behavior trajectory of females is the joint effect of the wrestling of thoughts between males and the female,and the final result is that females obey the discipline of males.At the same time,females are trapped by factors such as marriage,family,and childbirth,living under the confrontation between males and females,and presenting a pitiful life form.Finally,females images in Chinese Anti-Japanese Literature,Singaporean and Malaysian Chinese Anti-Japanese Literature constitute a mirror image.Under this mirroring mode,females images portrayed in the two texts firstly represent the identity of females images themselves with the identity of the nation-state,and then their self-identity as a female.These females images are compared from the perspective of the female image construction in narrative space.Firstly,the diverse structure of the story space influences shaping of the character and mood of the female image.And the story space is also the living space of the female image.The blending narrative perspective has shaped the image of female by taking the narrator as the subject and the female as the object.The spiritual thoughts of the subject and the object overlapped to produce the thought space of females images.Secondly,in the homogeneous narrative discourse space,the narrator creates different females images under the same discourse through the establishment of revolutionary discourse,female’s hero discourse,and humanitarian discourse.As a result,females images established in the story space forms relevance in the homogeneous narrative discourse.Finally,in the heterogeneous narrative discourse space,the narrator uses different discourses to create females images with different characteristics.It makes the female images in Chinese Anti-Japanese Literature,Singaporean and Malaysian Chinese Anti-Japanese Literature form a spatial intersection while retaining their respective characteristics.
