"Mixed Color" in Modern Life——the Female Image in Zhang Ai-ling’s Novels

Zhang Ai-ling takes her mother as an archetype in her novels and gives a deep analysis to the ambiguity of modern females’ roles,which is mainly because of the blending and conflict between old and new ideologies,and Zhang’s unusual experiences from her particular family background.This ambiguous characteristic is fully presented in the following three aspects: coexistence of old and new ideologies,of favorable and wretched living state and of good and evil in personalities.What’s more,in terms of portraying female images,Zhang makes a breakthrough in the traditional writing techniques.
