Challenging this radical social vision in The Ninth Widow (Di jiu ge guafu, 2006) and One Woman's Epic (Yige nuren de shishi, 2007), the contemporary Chinese writer Yan Geling describes how the characters retain their personal mentalities and habits in everyday life as they ignore, outmaneuver or even defy the political demands of revolutionary China. Focused on Yan's depiction of everyday life, the present paper offers a close reading and analysis of the two novels in relation to the theories of Pierre Bourdieu, Alf Ludtke and Michel de Certeau. It pays special attention to Yan's depiction of everyday life as a site where the characters in the novels bring their human agency into play as they satisfy their human needs and maintain their individual characteristics. Ultimately, it shows how Yan's depiction of everyday life questions the reach and efficacy of dominant ideology in revolutionary China.展开更多
