This part profoundly discusses the inevitability of hopeless salvation and destined ending. For finding the spiritual home, the female firstly dream to reside the spiritual world poetically, but in which there is no realistic existent room for returning nature, it is just temporary victory by enamoring with art and it is hardly satisfactory by means of the faith of love because the partner is lack. After these wishes were defeated, the female leave off to home by the attitude of seeking, but the identity of traveler and the covetous of rebuilding home make her seeking dashed. Finally, the female go to the peak of breakout by the way of determining to die, but the meaning of doing like this was impracticable by the lost of life.Jiang Yun writes uniquely and considers patiently for female existence, and rigidly searches for the path for salvation in hopeless inquires. Though not giving the perfect answer to the female's questions, she probes thoroughly into the fission of female growth and presentation of throes as well as attempt on breakthrough, which established some value by itself and will arouse the wide attention. At the same time, her revelation of the hopeless solution to female plight keeps us alert, and prompt to rethink about the problems such as female position and emancipation.
