While Lin Zixuan was preparing for a new movie, a craze for discussing the concept of love in this era began in Shanghai newspapers.

The cause is his martial arts novel "The White Horse Roars in the West Wind".

Lin Zixuan didn't pay attention after handing over the manuscript to Yan Duhe. After all, this was just a novella, less than 70,000 words.

Yan Duhe felt indescribable after reading it, which was particularly strange.

The first weird thing is that this is a martial arts novel with women as the main character.

In "The White Horse Screaming the West Wind", the most important character is of course the girl Li Wenxiu.

The whole story revolves around her, and what she sees and thinks in her heart become the plot of the story.

In China, in which men are superior to women, it cannot be said that there are no literary works that mainly use female characters, but they are extremely rare.

There is "The Female General of the Yang Family" in opera, "Mulan Ci" in poetry, and countless lyrics describing the resentment of the boudoir.

There have also been famous poets in the world like Li Qingzhao and Zhu Shuzhen.

But female literature has never been the mainstream of literary creation, and it can't be more popular.

In the Shili Western Field, in order to arouse the curiosity of male readers, some authors deliberately write erotic novels from female perspectives and tone, which is an inequality method in the literary world.

Yan Duhe didn't believe that Lin Zixuan would use this method to attract readers. He thought of Lin Zixuan's "Gone with the Wind", which also tells the story from a female perspective.

Is this the future creation trend of novels?

What he didn't know was that since the Republic of China, Western learning has spread to the east, and women's schools were established, and women were banned from colleges, so women were able to enter school, or even study abroad, which has enhanced women's knowledge and broadened their horizons.

This has cultivated a group of independent female writers.

They look at the world from a female perspective and write down what they think in their hearts with delicate and gentle strokes.

Female literature has gradually become a trend that cannot be ignored.

Female literature and female liberation were born together.

The unresolvable confusion, wandering and sadness in the works of early female writers, such as Lu Yin, Shi Pingmei, and Feng Yuanjun, originated from the contradiction between this ideal of female liberation and the dull and backward reality of the ancient feudal country.

Later, Zhang Ailing and Xiao Hong were more about exploring their own lives and society.

As for the later women's literature, it touched the spiritual and physical levels, and strived for complete liberation.

Lin Zixuan's "Gone with the Wind" and "The White Horse Screaming the West Wind" happened to appear at this point in time, and it happened to have women as the protagonists. It can be said to be a coincidence or a necessity.

This is the stage of the germination and awakening of Chinese women's literature.

Lin Zixuan accidentally played the role of a female literary enlightener.

Of course, even without Lin Zixuan, there will be others playing this role. The awakening of female literature is caused by the general environment of the times, just like the emergence of vernacular Chinese.

Hu Shi and Luxun are just choices of the times.

These two novels have caused quite a response in Shanghai, especially among the female group. They like the straightforwardness of Western women in Scarlett and the subtlety of Eastern women in Li Wenxiu.

They saw a kind of hope in these two women.

Like Li Wenxiu, Scarlett is both an independent woman, but for the love she cannot get, Scarlett chose to fight for, while Li Wenxiu chose to let go.

This is the difference between Western women and Eastern women.

Women in Shanghai are more likely to be exposed to Western culture and are more bold. Some women even write letters to Lin Zixuan, wanting to talk to him about life and ideals.

Among them are many celebrities in the Shanghai social circle.

These celebrities have rich lives, but their hearts are quite empty. They regard Lin Zixuan as a soulmate and think that he understands the heart of women best, otherwise he would not be able to write such an emotional character.

These letters became evidence that Lin Xiaoling and Feng Chengcheng made fun of Lin Zixuan.

In Feng Chengcheng's opinion, Lin Zixuan really doesn't understand women's minds very much. When interacting with women, he is sometimes a little clumsy and doesn't know how to deal with it.

This is completely different from those young men and men traveling around the beautiful circle in Shanghai.

This is also what reassuring Feng Chengcheng.

But she didn't know that Lin Zixuan only inherited the character traits of later generations, was imaginative in his bones, and was hypocritical on the surface, but typical of being thief-hearted but not brave.

Yan Duhe believes that the second strange thing is that "The White Horse Snorkeling the West Wind" is not like a martial arts novel, but more like a romance novel, and it is a kind of romance novel that abuses the master.

Because it mentions a proposition.

What should you do if the person you love doesn’t love you?

This is the theme that triggered a big discussion in Shanghai newspapers. What kind of view of love should we have.

In this era, arranged marriages are still the mainstream, and only a few people can pursue free marriages.

During the Republic of China period, the law stipulated that it was a monogamy system. If you want to remarry, you must divorce your original wife.

So we can see that many celebrities in this era have a history of divorce, such as Xu Zhimo.

You can also see many women bravely pursuing their happiness.

This is a great era of liberation of thoughts and turbulent turmoil. Old ideas and new ideas collided violently, which caused tragedy for countless people.

So in this environment, should we carefully maintain the old marriage or pursue our own happiness.

Here we need to explain that although the monogamy system was stipulated during the Republic of China period, it was difficult to implement.

Because many men have concubines, the law later added that the term "concubine" was abolished and "concubine" was regarded as a relative of a man, so the title of concubine was given.

It seems to be a method of stealing the bell, but it was very common during the Republic of China period.

"The White Horse Screamed the West Wind" was serialized for a month in "Happy Forest".

Readers were originally looking forward to the new novel by martial arts master Jin Yong, but they were surprised when they saw it.

This is a story about a girl who has no dynasty background and takes place in the distant desert. Unlike the grand and heroic martial arts novel "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", it is more like a love novel.

Especially in the end, Li Wenxiu let go and left the desert and returned to Jiangnan alone, which was even more heartbreaking.

So, someone was so bored that he posted a message in the newspaper to discuss Li Wenxiu's choice. Should he let go when dealing with love?

Then someone talked about the issue of arranged marriages. Under arranged marriages, we have no right to choose love at all.

Some people criticize the current divorce, believing that it is abandoning the wife of a bad wife and should be condemned by society.
