Speaker: Shu-ching Shih
Female writers should not be absent from the creation of historical novels. In the Hong Kong Triology, Shih Shu Ching changes the style of traditional historical Chinese novels. She adopts a female voice to create the leading protagonist who is from the bottom of society. In doing so she elaborates the triple forms of discrimination in Traditional Chinese society, i.e. sex, race, and social class. Shih uses her literary creation in a historical setting to speak out from a woman's perspective. In doing so, she shifts focus to issues which were long neglected by male writers.
