Among these efforts is toseek comfort in Protagonist Jack’s youngest son, Wilder, who is the emblem of a primitive and innocent power thatis uncontaminated by science and technology in the chaotic world. Furthermore, this article further analyses andreveals the consoling power of Wilder’s innocence. Nonetheless, through the degradation from a solemn and scaredcrying to a pathetic and mundane crying, it also shows the brevity and vulnerability of the power, which proves that,instead of a permanent cure, this innocence can only serve as a sedative to ease the postmodern fear of death.展开更多

Set in the New York upper class be-tween 1870 s and 1880 s, the novel depicts a touching love story. This paper analyzes the character traits of Newland Archer from afeminist perspective, and analyzes how his free love is suffocated by deep-rooted conventions, so as to illustrate the deadly influ-ence of patriarchy on people at that time. The New York upper class at that time dreaded scandal more than disease, and therefore,the true love between Newland Archer and Ellen Olenska fell victim to the patriarchal society. Archer is both the supporter and vic-tim of patriarchy. Ellen is a courageous new woman who longs for freedom and equality with men and thus is rejected by the NewYork upper class and makes great sacrifices. From the analysis, this thesis maintains that the oppressive patriarchy is exactly thedeep root of his unfortunate fate. This novel shows that women-consciousness of the West was burgeoning in the 20 thcentury, andconveys the author's wish of gender equality.展开更多

This researcher claimed he was not informed that he was listed as an author during the entire manuscript submission and publication process. Moreover, he had a concern about the reliability of the data in the paper. Therefore, he would like to withdraw his authorship of this particular article or withdraw this article entirely. The editorial office forwarded the letter to the other authors to collect comments, and the first author completely denied the co-corresponding author＇s claim of unawareness of authorship by providing archived emails between them. Setting aside what really happened 13 years ago, in this case, it may be interpreted that either this cocorresponding author himself is announcing his honorary authorship （either by passively being added to the byline or actively accepting the offer） in this article, or is trying to avoid taking （potential） responsibility regarding the research content by using honorary authorship as a defense. Meanwhile, the first author has been accused of offering honorary authorship to a senior researcher.展开更多
