It was controversial that the status of women in ancient China had always been low and oppressed. Although in some cases, the status of women may be relatively low, after reading some literary works, it was not the case. In ancient China, the status of women was restricted and oppressed, but there were also some literary works that recorded the struggle of women for freedom and equality. For example, Lin Daiyu in Dream of the Red Chamber was a clear example. She was seen as an unlucky woman who was often oppressed and exploited, but she was finally free. In addition, Lin Chong in Water Margins was also an example of resistance to oppression. Although he came from a humble background, he won freedom and equality through a determined and brave struggle. Although the status of women in ancient China may be relatively low, there were some women who obtained freedom and equal rights through their own efforts and struggles. Reading these literary works could help people better understand the history and destiny of women, and at the same time, it could also make people respect and cherish women's lives and dignity more.
