In the society, where the male dominate and the female are shaded while the slogans calling for the equality of the sexes are pervaded, Li Shaohong breaks out of the plight surrounded by both history and reality where the female have suffered ever since. She takes advantage of her gender, inquires into the feminine psychology, sends forth the tender but intense sound, which attracts the attention of the whole society to examine and reflect on the feminine, then themselves, and provides the theoretcial consideration about how to construct the new world of the ambisextrous harmony, freedom and equality.
