Abstract

As the typical architecture of the city of Shanghai and the living space of Shanghai citizens, the lane is naturally the background of the narrative of The Song of Eternal Hatred. Wang Anyi describes Shanghai’s alleys with delicate strokes in The Song of Eternal Hatred, and in her writing, the alleys are very vital, as if warm to the touch. From the perspective of time, this paper divides the text into three stages: before the liberation of Shanghai, after the founding of the People’s Republic of China, and after the reform and opening up of the country. Focusing on Wang Qiyao, this paper explores, through the people she comes into contact with, the things she experiences, and her attitude towards life, the alley dwellers’ attitudes towards the times and their lives as they have changed in the course of the past forty years.
