The prime meaning of feminist writing is to widen our views of life, things, the world, and even the cosmos, as well as to take back part of the rights of the well-done explanation to the above from men. Noted in 50's and 60's, Lin Hai-yin has tried to expose women's self-realization and how womengive thought to marriage and love in her stories. In every age, almost every woman finds her own limitations and dilemma. How those female characters in her stories could escape from the confines is determined by their thoughts, not by the salvation from others or from the outside world. The stories set duringthe late Ching Dynasty and early Republic China mainly tell about how the legal wives suffer from their "status", and how they disobey their will and their nature. Most of them voluntarily find illegal wives (mistresses) for their husbands, or endure their husbands' taking illegal wives home. As to the illegal wives, Lin also sympathetically shows how they are pressed by their inferior marital "status", and their sadness for their useless fights for self-dignity. Only those who can run away from the confines of "status" could be hap py. In the stories set from 60's to 70's, Lin gives a list of several types of marriage, such as the wives spiritual suicide with their husbands, marriage between a woman and her "sponsor", a husband shared by two or more women, marriedwomen's exile from their family, extra-marital affairs, etc. Lin creates a possible space for her heroines to ponder on what they need and how they take actions. Thus thinking and taking actions are serviceable tools for women to search for their happiness. The outstanding characteristic of Lin's stories ofmarriage and love is that she treats such issues sincerely and gently. Unlike other feminist writers, she does not rigidly criticize on patriarchy or put her stories in patriarchal system. She directly defines the self-realization and self-consciousness of women, which are regarded as the origin of deconstructing patriarchy.
