The Diary of Lady Shafi is the author's famous work. Created a lady Shafi with a complex personality.
Image: Sha Fei is a woman of the era who has stepped out of the house on the tide of personality emancipation, cold on the outside and hot on the inside;After the ebb of the May Fourth Movement, the petty-bourgeois rebellious and depressed modern intellectual women were typical of arrogant temperament, full of fanatical fantasies, contempt for feudal etiquette, and the pursuit of "true love" and personality emancipation. However, the special circumstances after the defeat of the Great Revolution and the inner turmoil of the petty bourgeoisie after the disillusionment of the pursuit determined that she stubbornly sought the meaning of life without a way out, despised the world, and from time to time felt that she was in danger of sinking into indulgence. This concretely reflects the shadow of the times cast by history on a part of the intellectual youth, making the rebellion morbid but still a rebellion (pathological resistance), showing all the contradictions of Sha Fei's image, "Ms. Sha Fei is a rebellious screamer of young women who bear the trauma of the bitterness of the times" (Mao Dun), which has a unique value in the history of modern Chinese literature.
Significance: The work leaves behind the poignant and painful footprints of young women who rushed out of their old families and boldly pursued love after the May Fourth Movement. It also tells us that a person who takes the satisfaction of men and women as the main sign of happiness in life is lonely and empty in her heart, and in order to get rid of the deeper loneliness and emptiness after the failure of the pursuit, her steps are even heavier.
