1. Sister Xianglin is first of all a hardworking, kind and simple working woman. After she was newly widowed, she fled to Lu Town and worked in the house of Mr. Lu Si. She didn't care about food, but she was strong and worked harder than other hard-working men. She seemed to get bored when she was idle. By the end of the year, one person was responsible for sweeping the dust, washing the floor, butchering chickens and geese, and cooking blessings all night long, and some day laborers were added. However, she was very satisfied, a smile gradually appeared around her mouth, and her face became whiter and fatter.

2. Sister Xianglin also has a stubborn side to her character. She had resisted her fate many times. In order to escape the unbearable pain in her husband's family, she came to Luzhen to help the landlord's house. Later, when she was kidnapped by her husband's family, she resisted fiercely by the river. When she was betrayed to the mountain village, she screamed and cursed all the way. When she prayed to heaven and earth, she hit her head on the corner of the incense table, causing a big hole in her head and blood flowing. I still scolded him later.

Facing all kinds of ridicule, insults and injuries from everyone, she fought silently until she doubted the existence of a soul. However, her resistance was supported by feudal ethics and feudal superstition. She did not realize that feudal forces and feudal superstition were the main enemies that destroyed her.

She still lacks a clear understanding of her own resistance. She does not know what to resist and how to resist, so her resistance seems weak. On the contrary, she often pins her hope for life on feudal forces and feudal superstition. She was not only oppressed by feudal ethics, but also poisoned by feudal ethics.

Sister-in-law Xianglin followed Mother Liu’s instructions and poured all her money into donating the threshold to the Tutu Temple. Thousands of people stepped on it and tens of thousands of people collapsed. On the eve of death, he asked people whether they had souls. In the end, she was despised and died miserably for nothing, which all showed her ignorance and numbness.

4. Sister-in-law Xianglin is another working woman who has been trampled and persecuted. The mother-in-law, cousin, etc. snatched Xianglin's wife back and sold her, which is an example of trampling and persecuting her. Of course, the root cause of this kind of trampling and persecution among working people in the old society lies in the system of exploitation.

Sister-in-law Xianglin is a fictional character in Lu Xun's short story "Blessing". She is a typical example of working women in rural areas of old China.

Before the Revolution of 1911, Mrs. Xianglin, who was widowed early, heard that her mother-in-law was going to sell her, so she ran to Lu Town overnight and came to the house of Mr. Lu Si as a helper. She spared no effort to win the favor of his wife. Unexpectedly, her mother-in-law snatched her away and married He Laoliu. He Laoliu was a loyal and kind-hearted man who died of illness in order to raise money to pay off his debts. His son was also eaten by a wolf, so Mrs. Xianglin returned to Mr. Lu Si's house. She was afraid that the King of Hell would dismember her body after her death, so she donated one year's salary to the threshold of the Earth Temple. When she excitedly brought out the offerings on the night of blessing, the unfair treatment of the Lu family hit her hard again. From then on, she became mentally depressed, absent-minded in doing things, and was kicked out to become a beggar. On a blessed night, she died in the snowstorm.
