Abstract

Zhang Ailing, as a legendary modern female writer in the history of 20th century Chinese literature, her writing features mainly the romantic story of the decline period of Shanghai, through the depiction and rendering of art, she gives humanity reflection and summary. "Red Rose and White Rose" is a representative work of Zhang Ailing's novellas. It was read by more and more people with a popular classic opening. The novel analyzes the split of modern urban personality, love, and desire with the relationship between the desire and marriage of a man (Tong Zhenbao) and two women (Red Rose Wang Jiaorui and White Rose Meng Yanli). This article will draw on Freud's critical theory and use psychoanalysis to analyze and interpret the characters of the novel.
