"Liu Xiaoyang, Zhang Yue, Song Xiaonu, Yang Benfen , Zhang Miman ... These women from all walks of life, different identities and ages have allowed us to see a richer and broader picture of life belonging to women." A collection of women's reports released by " Characters " magazine "They and Them". From the extension of content to industry form, we will find that some structural force is unshakable. Faced with a century-old industry driven by patriarchal desire, we express our expectations for female authors and female stories: a new narrative and new experience.
Editor-in-chief Zhang Han said: The story of a woman belongs to the chapter of the life of a woman. The wind and the gentle whisper in a simple and tacit understanding. Women in women's writings, your sketches, my heart shadow. Calm and calm words, like a fine net, salvage ordinary, painful and joyful moments.
"They and They" records 12 real female stories, 9 in-depth reports of characters and 3 author self-reports. Telling about the fate and hearts of women in this era, these words that emit light and heat make resonance happen and understanding realize.
Three authors An Xiaoqing, Lin Songguo, and Li Feiran, each of them used ten thousand words to describe in the book, sharing their confusion and awakening as a woman in the process of growing up, as well as their thoughts on women’s issues as creators.
The words without force are not shown off at all. Just like that, it seems to express your understanding and expectations for life in a faint tone. The delicate perspective and emotional thinking are no different from the life I have seen with my own eyes. This is the feeling of a woman, but it is clearly a woman's strength. Or in their stories, I saw women's persistence and my own persistence.
Women always seem to be more sensitive. After reading these female stories, I (daughter, mother, wife) who has multiple identities can empathize with the emotions of the characters in the story and experience the various difficulties of being a woman.
I saw the tenacious vitality of Song Xiaonu in "Ex-wife", many primitive, unpolished, and vibrant qualities, her understanding of love, goodness, her enthusiasm, helplessness, her compromise, persistence, and those charming places.
Obviously only women will truly understand this woman.
In "Judgement of a New Mom", Kakuda Mitsuyo said: From a larger perspective, his theme is to make people realize that they can imagine the situation of people with different positions and understand the sufferings of people with different positions. This is a necessary part of getting along with people.
Kakuda Mitsuyo got married and had no parenting, but wrote about the dilemma of a new mother and various mental states. She used her writing to achieve a rebuttal. Even if she was not an eyewitness, even if she had not experienced the same dilemma, people can still seek an understanding, and can still empathize and experience the other person's pain.
While writing female stories, they also outline the outline of their own life, which is also the origin of the book title "They and They". They are people in the story, they are people who write stories, they are intertwined with their stories, and they are also us.
