Oppression, resistance, female sex, Mo YanAbstract
Women have long been swept and consumed by the tide of patriarchy, enduring various forms of persecution. Mo Yan has written a series of women's tragic songs with delicate strokes, including the helpless cries of women under oppression, as well as the horns of women's counterattacks. The author focuses on Mo Yan's classic works such as "Big Breasts and Wide Hips", "Frog", and "Red Sorghum Family" from a feminist perspective, analyzing the oppression of women and the success or failure of their resistance under oppression, and drawing on the power of the present world for women's development.
