知识女性自我塑造中的喜乐与哀愁——《往事》与《我的人生苦旅》比较谈

The Happiness and Sadness in the Self-fashioning of Intellectual Women:A Comparative Study of The Past and My Miserable Life

毛彦文和柳溪的自传《往事》与《我的人生苦旅》以普通人物视角反映复杂、动荡的历史变迁,具有独特而珍贵的史料价值。与此同时,身为女性,毛彦文和柳溪也以自己的婚姻、事业等经历展示出她们隐忍与反抗兼具的品格,尤其凸显出她们作为现代知识女性的成长。纵然两部自传叙事风格不尽相同,但无论冷淡还是热烈,均为现代女性的自我塑造提供了真实而生动的范例。

The Past and My Miserable Life, the two autobiographies written by Mao Yanwen and Liu Xi, reflect the complex and turbulent history from the perspective of ordinary people, and possess unique and precious historical value. Simultaneously, being women, Mao Yanwen and Li Xi display their characters with endurance and rebellion by their own marriages and careers, especially highlighting their growth as modern intellectual women. In spite of the disparate narrative styles, whether cold or enthusiastic, the two autobiographies provide real and vivid models for modern female self-fashioning.
