Abstract:In the 1990s, the influx of migrant women into Beijing became a common phenomenon. Qiu Huadong’s “Beijing Time” series of novels used this as material to create a group of impressive images of migrant women entering Beijing, which can be roughly divided into two categories: educated migrant women and rural women entering Beijing. In his novels, the urban life in Beijing changed the daily lives and emotional states of these women, giving them new directions in life. They also completed their own path choices in the constant struggle with themselves. Educated migrant women tend to focus more on the family, but this does not mean the return of patriarchy. On the contrary, it brings about an improvement in women’s status within the family, promotes the transformation of gender order within the family, and their dominance in gender relations also encourages them to actively seek new ideal lives. Rural women entering Beijing are caught between the new life and traditional morality, which creates a crisis in their personal identity. They voluntarily chose to give up the materialistic life that Beijing brought them and pick up the “morality” of self-identity again.
