The reason for the low status of women in China is feudalism.

China has a long history of 5,000 years and experienced the baptism of feudal dynasties for more than 2,000 years. Feudal thought is deeply rooted, and people are imprisoned in it, especially the influence of feudal thought on women. Under the oppression of feudal ethics, women always lived at the bottom of society, which made women suffer great mental and physical harm. Because of this, the success pursued by most women in ancient times was limited to their loyalty to their husbands and their mothers-in-law and children. Want to have a place in society, really dare not even think about it.

In ancient times, women had no personality rights and had been absorbed by their fathers, husbands and sons. Fan Yi in Thunderstorm is Zhou Puyuan's second wife. Although she didn't want to be pushed around and dared to resist Zhou Puyuan, she could only be in a depressed position in a cold and gloomy family.

In ancient times, women didn't have free will, and they didn't need to have will. They were not allowed to do bad things or good things. Mei in Home liked Chueh-hsin, but succumbed to feudal autocracy and died of grief. Ming-feng, who longs for love but dares not express it, is helpless.

It is their profession for women to stay at home. They have no right to inherit, and their property is divided up by their brothers. The fate of He Xiu in Orange is Red highlights the difficulty of realizing the female enlightenment ideal, exaggerates the infinite sadness and sentimentality that this enlightenment ideal eventually lost, and deepens the thinking on the female destiny.
