Following her heavily symbolic body, the present work maps this fictional heroine's journey from innocence to sex-work and beyond. This crucial angle allows the author to paint a picture of gender identity, sexuality, and desire that is at once unitary and multi-layered, and that comes to illuminate some of the major themes in the construction of Chinese modernity. 410 0$aWomen and gender in China studies ;$vv. 3. 606 $aProstitution$zChina$xHistory 606 $aProstitutes$zChina$xHistory 606 $aProstitutes in literature$xHistory 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aProstitution$xHistory. 615 0$aProstitutes$xHistory. 615 0$aProstitutes in literature$xHistory. 676 $a306.740951 700 $aZamperini$b Paola$0923851 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910459576403321 996 $aLost bodies$92073296 997 $aUNINA
