Features: Ling Shuhua was from Panyu, Guangdong. Her novels reflect the demand of Chinese women in the 20th century for freedom and their early attempts at writing, portraying the psychological activity of young Chinese women raised in seclusion who were unwilling to stay confined and kept curiously observing life outside. Her writing style is graceful and natural, with vividly distinct characters, infused with the authentic feelings of the female author. She was regarded by contemporary critics as a major writer of the "seclusionist" school.
