"Shanshang de xiaowu" (Chinese: 山上的小屋) was first published in the 8th issue of Renmin wenxue (People's Literature) in August 1985.
Beginning in 1966, the Cultural Revolution broke out and Can Xue, at that time, has just graduated from elementary school.
The revolution forced her to quit her school education and she was ordered to labor in the countryside with all other teenagers.
In order make a living, Can Xue worked in a small neighborhood factory for ten years.
Speaking of her motivation for writing during the early ten years, she called it a kind of vengeance.
The self-completion of life is so complicated, as the liberation of ourselves is the result of the victory of the good side of our human nature in the war of opposites.
[4] Although not educated in the school system, Can Xue dived into literature herself, both domestic and foreign, which profoundly influenced the formation of her literary thought.
[8][7] I liked to organize my desk drawer ever night, but the noise and light in my room drove my mom crazy.
My parents messed up the drawer and stole her most favorite things: a set of Go (Go, a type of Chinese chess) was buried near the well, and moths and dragonflies were scattered on the floor.
When I reached the top of the hill, all I saw was desolate rocks flashing white flames, no wild grapes, no huts and no people.
The black wind mixed with the leaves of wild grapes, the stones are shining with white flames under the sun.
Can Xue believes that the exploration of women's self-personality in contemporary Chinese literature is still relatively superficial and has not reached a deeper level.
Feminine consciousness is a part of self-consciousness, it is the experience of self-existence by people as an individual gender, which is rooted in Western culture.
