There are something in common between PU Song ling’s wife and the female figures of his novel: they are all good at housekeeping, with inner directed, capable of sacrifice , with stronger ability to exist than males. Directly coming from Pu’s ideal and his concern for and understanding of females , these female figures transcend to some degree the limits of family ethic, and highlight the feminine identity of females but not their identity of wife or motherhood. PU Song ling distributed in his full strength all the virtues ,such as beauty, youth, freedom ,and even his humor and poetics to females, but only admiration left to males.
