Abstract |
This article is starting from two women writer’s imaginations of civilized woman under the Great East Asian rule. Yang Qian He（楊千鶴）and Yang Xu（楊絮）, were the women writers with strong autobiographical flavor in Taiwan's and Manchuria's literary. Both of them almost do not care about things other than their own , just focus on writing herself as "modern woman" image. Although fascinated by self-writing equally, these two showed the "civilized" images of women are entirely different. Been called "Manchurian Chen Bai lu（滿洲陳白露）", Yang Xu succeeded in escaping from the feudal patriarchal family and roaming around Xin Jing（新京）where was the capital of Manchukuo offered her material conditions to pursue freedom. What she self-performanced is the modern master of loving flamboyantly, living the colorful life in the urban, The intention to present the model of "modern girl" in the text was strong. As the Taiwan bourgeois women, Yang Qian He stressed that women can prove herself and participate in the public sphere actively Outside of the bridal school planning and the marriage system trading. Through detailed in contacting intellectuals, Yang Qian He emphasized her accepted and the perfect interaction with the whole literary world. Compared with Yang Xu, Yang Qian He’s modern women civilization imagine much more show on the strong expertise and the professional abilities in the workplace. As for love affairs or experience are almost absent from the text of this woman writer. In the aspects of family structure, geopolitical environment, economic model and inherent system of marriage transactions, this article attempts to analyze the different civilized imagination between Taiwan and Manchuria women writers. By comparison, I would like to try to clarify their initiatives in the text. |
