Abstract/Summary:
There were such a group of women in the contemporary fanilymaternal literature of China. As "somebody else" who intruded thetraditional family space, they had the similarity spanned time and space,which meanwhile constituted their contemporariness. They presentedthemselves as destroyers, disdained and lapsed from tradition, didn'tsatisfy the destiny of being reined by other people any more, and dare todestroy or even challenge the order and authorities of big family for it,which absolutely overthrew the traditional image of women.This article aimed at throwing away the two poles of gender theory,yet not sliding away their difference, and going back to experience andindividual. It chose JinSuhen——a female character in the first part of"The Children of Rich Men" of LuLing as its prototype, synthesizedknowledge from psychology, anthropology and literature, and made arough analysis of such women who had a strong desire of both survivaland ruin, and can fully inspire the ontic and positional potential energy offamily and release variance ones herself in the contemporary literature ofChina, The purpose of this article was expounding the survivorship anddeep-seated mentality of these women, as well as the social and culturalmessage and the spurious anxiety of individual life it transmitted.This article was composed of three parts:Part One: The cultural background of "destroyer" female image. Inthis part we traced the history of "destroyer" female image in western andRussia literature, and discussed the background of it in china at the sametime. China was in a history course walking up to modernization since1840. When new and old culture crashed, the system of family offeudality was going to collapse, the perdition of big family was inevitable, women were also affected and struck inevitably.Part Two: The history existence and reality appearance offoreordination. Several female images such as Jinsuhen, Fanyi, Zengsiyi,Caoqiqiao, Siyiwen, Huajinzi and Aigu were analyses in Part Two, theirparticularity of "destroyer" in family——a microcopy of socialconstitution was also exhibited in this part.Part Three: Life scar which can't erased. Based on the presentationthat they destroyed everything venomously, we discussed the griefconcealed in their heart, revealed their effeminacy behind theirmalevolence, their desire of home behind behaviors of a destroyer andtheir obedience of order behind rebellion.
