A Tragic Fate of Weak Women: A Re-study of Subject of BAI Ju-yi’s A Song of Eternal Sorrow
Graphical Abstract
Abstract
There have long been controversies concerning the subject of A Song of Eternal Sorrow. Some think that it intends to satirize something, while others believe it praises love, still others hold that it has both goals. In fact, the poetry does not intend to describe love, but the affections of a weak woman and her tragic fate behind the so-called love. In addition, it does not studiously intend to satirize anything, but to reveal the cruelty of such tragedy.
