Main Contents of Mingxiang (Excerpt)

Xiangming is a novel by Lu Xun, a famous writer in China, which mainly tells the growth experience of a female character named Ye Hongmei. The following are the main contents of Mingxiang:

Ye Hongmei is a poor girl. Her father was a Kuomintang soldier and her mother died when she was very young. Due to family difficulties, Ye Hongmei was forced to drop out of school in her early years to earn money to support her family. She once worked in printing and dyeing factories, pharmacies, cloth shops and other places, and once sold things in the market, but with her own efforts, she gradually got rid of the poor life.

In the course of her work, Ye Hongmei encountered many difficulties and setbacks, but she never gave up and walked through every difficulty firmly. She also kept learning, improved her skills and quality, and finally became a skilled translator, and made some achievements in her work.

Xiang Ming also described Ye Hongmei's family and emotional life. Ye Hongmei's father worked hard all the year round and had no time to take care of her. She once fell in love with a man named Liu Xuelian, but they separated for family reasons. Later, Ye Hongmei met a man named Han, and their strong love finally brought them together.

Through Ye Hongmei's growing experience, the whole novel shows a woman's process of successfully realizing her self-worth through her own efforts and unremitting pursuit under the traditional feudal family and social system. Ye Hongmei's tenacity and courage not only reflect her personal strength and wisdom, but also reflect the independence of women themselves. Xiangming is an important work of Lu Xun's criticism and reflection on traditional culture in the process of exploring modern civilization.
