Since the start of her literature work in 1993, she has created a work that focuses on the survival of intellectual class with a dual identity of scholars and writers. <Zao Yu Ai Qing> take the male character as the main character, describes male-female relationships that are dominated by money in a commercialized Chinese society. She was generally regarded as a scholarly writer, but her short story the <Chu Fang>, created in 1997, is evaluated as a work by a pure feminist writer. Chinese society has been in the 90s, with the development of market economy, the position of intellectuals has been pushed to the periphery of society. Of course, female literature has been pushed around more.
