These female images are not only an important part of Yu Hua's literary creation, but also reflect his concern and deep thinking about women. The in-depth analysis of these female images is of great academic significance and research value for us to understand the process of loss and reconstruction of female subjectivity in Yu Hua's works. This paper takes the female image portrayed in Yu Hua's novels as the research object, starts from the perspective of feminism, and uses feminist theory as an analytical framework to carry out a systematic and in-depth study of the female image in Yu Hua's works. Specifically, this paper will classify and sort out the female images in Yu Hua's novels, comprehensively present the various dilemmas faced by women in Yu Hua's novels from a feminist perspective, and deeply discuss the enlightenment and significance of the portrayal of women in Yu Hua's novels.
