Abstract: Mei Niang as Mei Niang, a female writer, was born in Vladivostok balkanized by Tsarist Russia and grew up in Manchuria invented by Imperial Japan. She once studied in Japan, living in Osaka, the center of media during the war period and later became active in Beijing' s literary circles during the period of Japanese occupation. In the later part of the civil war, she moved to Beitou, Taipei. Before the founding of the New China, her husband unfortunately died in the Taipinglun Shipwreck, and though she herself was conceiving another of their children, Mei Niang, taking two little daughters, determinedly went back to Beiping from Taiwan via Shanghai, and devoted herself to the socialist cultural construction. Despite various sufferings from the political movements, she continued to write. Her legendary father generation and grandchildren generation, her own rich life experience, her writing career and its connection with the social environment have all made her case a perplexing and sophisticated one and thus an epitome of China' s hundredyear evolution. In other words, it is worthwhile to sort out the life and career of Mei Niang since looking into her life and writing career sheds light on the crosscentury transformation of China and even the East Asia from the end of the 19th century to the early 21st century.
