* Author to whom correspondence should be addressed.
Abstract
Xia Yan's Under the Eaves of Shanghai describes the life of five tenants in an alley under the rainy weather in Shanghai in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War. It is Xia Yan's turning work in the 1930s and explores the prospect and hope of China's development from a small perspective into the social level. Among them, female image plays an important role. Their different identity background, thoughts and psychology, habits, emotional experiences, lifestyles, and social relations build the basic framework of the story and enrich the connotation of the story. Their shaping is more typical, echoing the repeated distinctive types of women in modern literature. The academic research on Under the Eaves of Shanghai is relatively abundant, but the research results on the female image in it are still rare. This paper mainly adopts the literature review method, combs and analyzes the related research in different periods according to the research content, summarizes the research experience, and puts forward the existing problems to lay the foundation for the following research on the female image in Under the Eaves of Shanghai.
