As a feminist pioneer in contemporary Chinese literature, Can Xue’s works are known for their unique narrative techniques and profoundly feminine perspectives. This study explores the feminist narrative strategies of Can Xue’s novels based on their unique narrative techniques and profound female perspectives. Through analyzing the interweaving of dream and reality, it reveals the externalization of women’s inner world and its innovative role in narrative; through the exploration of psychological depth, it shows the complex struggle of women in gender roles and identity; through the meticulous analysis of family, body, language, and other imagery, it criticizes sexism and advocates gender equality. The conclusion of the study shows that the novels of Can Xue not only enrich the expression of feminist literature, but also reveal the real situation of women in a patriarchal society through the integration of dream, reality, and psychology, providing ideological support for the reconstruction of gender rights, and demonstrate its unique contribution and value in the field of feminist literature. This study not only expands the theoretical boundaries of feminist literature but also provides a new dimension for interpreting the works of Can Xue, highlighting its unique contribution and value in contemporary feminist literature.References
