Zhang Ailing is an important figure in the history of modern Chinese literature. Her novels have a unique style and beautiful language, which is full of deep thinking and reflection on social reality. I've read many of her works, and one of them left a deep impression on me was the novella, The First Incense. " Aquilaria Fragments: The First Furnace of Incense " was an autobiographical novel by Zhang Ailing, which told the story of the author's own experience. The novel takes Zhang Ailing's childhood as the background, and through the description of a young woman's growth process, it reflects the various ills of the old Shanghai society and the distortion of human nature. The language of the novel was concise and poetic, full of Zhang Ailing's unique literary style. At the same time, the characters in the novel were very vivid and impressive. The female character in the novel, Little Phoenix Goddess, was a very distinct image. Although she was born poor, she had a kind and strong heart and constantly tried to change her fate. Her life was full of ups and downs, but she never gave up on her dreams and hopes. The image of Little Phoenix Goddess in the novel made me feel the tenacity and indomitable spirit of human nature. Zhang Ailing's novels have high literary value and depth of thought. Through her unique literary style and profound thinking, she shows the complexity of human nature and the reality of society. Her novels were highly influential not only in China but also around the world.
