ABSTRACT

In Red Rose and White Rose and Little Reunion, the satirical art and images in the emotional world of both men and women form the bleak keynote of Zhang Ailing's novels. Red Rose and White Rose describes the secular men and women in real life when they face the dilemma of reputation and desire of material and lust. In the sex description of Little Reunion, the author expresses her satirize of sexual desire with concrete images and reveals the pure emotion of sexual desire from feminine perspective. This article explores the causes of Zhang Ailing's desolate and pungent satirical art and analyzes the complexity of human nature in her works, especially the instinctive desire of human beings and the intuitive sexual attitude of women.
