What are the impressive female tragic images in China's literary works?

The first thing that comes to mind is Sister Xianglin in Lu Xun's works.

Although Xianglinsao is a widow, she works hard and is an active person. When I came to Luzhen as a female worker alone, my life improved with my honest, hardworking and willing personality.

But fate always likes to joke. Suddenly one day, Xianglinsao's former mother-in-law came to Luzhen and forcibly took her away. In order to pay the bride price for her brother-in-law's wedding, Xianglinsao was forced to marry in the mountains. In desperation, Xianglinsao married He Laoliu.

Later, Sister Xianglin gave birth to a son. It is not so tragic to say that life continues in peace. But bad luck came again. Xianglinsao's husband died of cold first, and her son died in the gate of hell. Under successive blows, Sister Xianglin completely collapsed.

In order to make a living, Sister Xianglin came to Luzhen again, but she was completely different. If you die, you can only repeat the tragedy of your son's tragic death. The villagers will listen out of curiosity at first, but they will only feel sick later. The host also felt that Sister Xianglin had corrupted the customs and stopped letting her intervene in important work, which was a setback for Sister Xianglin.

There is no hope in life. Sister Xianglin, who has completely lost confidence and lives like a puppet, is no different from a pile of garbage in the eyes of everyone. Later, she was driven out of Lujia, became a beggar, and finally died in the street.

Sister Xianglin's tragedy is a microcosm of the poor at that time, plus the hard work of the women at the bottom. She is a complete accessory and has no freedom of her own. Bound by traditional ideas, they can't escape the shackles of the times and finally become victims.

Besides Sister Xianglin, there are other female characters, which I personally think is a bit tragic. Just like Cui Cui in Border Town, waiting for someone who doesn't know if he will come back. And Xia Feng in Alive. She became dumb when she was sick, and her brother was killed. She lived a quiet life after marriage and died in dystocia.

These tragic figures all reflected some social conditions at that time, which made people lament.
