There exists a special complex in HONG Ying's novels——pursuit: the pursuit of life,the
pursuit of affection and the pursuit
of ethics.The paper is to focus on exploring the
pursuit of affection,especially that of maternal love and sexual love.This kind of pursuit has been sinking and rising alongside strong desires so as to keep the personality and destiny of the character drifting along.Different from the creations of other writers,HONG Ying's pursuit is represented by means of depicting some
deficiency,the deficiency of maternal love and the deficiency of sexual love,through which the author has revealed the character's strong desire for affection and life,the personality variation and the abnormal resistance resulted from failing to gain what he or she wanted.Thus,HONG Ying is supposed to achieve her goal of appealing for maternal love and sexual love to ultimately realizing human love.Numerous females in her works,weak or firm by appearance,all bear inside a kind of toughness and resistance against yielding to life.Their rebellion derived from dissatisfaction with life and loss of ideals of female individualism.Their resistance varied,but the outcomes blue.Drifting in desire,they were unable to find their final home of affection.
