Features: Mao Dun once said, reading Lu Yin's works is "like breathing the air of the May Fourth Movement again." Sadness is the main theme of some of Lu Yin's important works, and its position in Lu Yin's novels is akin to the role of maternal love in Bing Xin's works. The women in Lu Yin's novels seem to be the predestined souls of our present lives. In The Diary of a mistress, Lu Yin fully portrays the agonizing pain of an affair. Lu Yin truly understands the hearts of women; sometimes, the hardest thing for women to overcome and face is themselves.
