Abstract

Modern Chinese cultural researchers generally believe that the “trans fiction” has a “utopian” color: as the protagonist, the strider - usually male - can use modern history and scientific knowledge to change the historical process, so as to achieve the realization of his own value in a fantasy historical environment. This paper points out that this Utopia narrative has limitations in the gender dimension through careful reading of the novel and film and television texts of “Startling at Every Step”; The theorists believe that when female transgressors try to rewrite the historical process, they are often subject to patriarchy, which makes their “utopian” desire to change history become futile. This paper attempts to rethink the cultural significance of the cross novel from the female perspective.
