Zhang Ailing's novels can be condensed into "marriage" and "love". In the writing of love, as soon as she stepped onto the literary world, she sneered and sneered at the fantasy of love. Compared with contemporary writers, Zhang Ailing has a completely opposite expression of love. In her works, it is realistic and even more sad. She reveals that love is only a kind of attachment of women to men's economy, and sees the myth that love will be empty without equal economic status.
