As the result, two points are clarified as follows. One is on a new type of woman living in social cataclysm at the end of feudal days. Bing Xin appreciated a well cultivated woman who was awakened to her ego and had her own opinions, while still being a good wife and wise mother.

The other point is that Bing Xin intended to awaken women\u27s consciousness in order to promote a social revolution by showing women\u27s tragedies in her novels.
