《妻妾成群》是苏童创作史上一部具有里程碑意义的中篇小说,在这部小说中,苏童以一种全新的女性视角,从勘察女性生存的角度,对传统及经典叙事中封建旧家庭的"女性生活史"进行了大胆的反思与解构,并赋予其新的意蕴,给当时疲软的文坛带来一股清新之风,这也是其能与电影成功"联姻"的重要原因之一。

With a brand-new female＇s view and from the perspective of focusing on the survival of women, Wife and Concubines in Groups, a landmark novella in Su Tong＇s literary creation presents the readers with the author＇s brave in- trospection and interpretation on the history of women＇s life in old feudal families. It also brings new meanings to the his- tory of women＇s life recorded in traditional and classic narrations and injects new energy into the ever-degrading literary circle back then,which is thought to be an important reason for the success of the film adapted from Raise the Red Lantern.
