Abstract

Wencheng, the latest novel written by Yu Hua, narrates a story that happened in the late Qing Dynasty, a troubled time in Chinese history that the northerner, Lin Xiangfu, brings his daughter going south to find his wife Xiaomei and her hometown Wencheng city. After years of struggle and hardship, he finally died at the hands of bandits. More research is conducted around Wencheng’s themes and writing techniques, compared to the research on its characters. Therefore, the protagonist of this novel, Lin Xiangfu, especially his image and personality were analyzed in this paper. According to the analysis, with a personality of persistence and tolerance, the behavior of Lin Xiangfu reflects the pure kindness in human nature, which is also consistent with traditional Chinese values. In addition, his thoughts contain certain backwardness due to the time limitation, while he has also progressive thinking. This research aims to make contributions to the comprehension of Wencheng’s theme and the writing style of Yu Hua.
