early 21st century. She was crowned as one of the modern female poets by Qian
Chonglian. Originated from an aristocratic family, she was also a talented and
intelligent person since young. She had made a name for herself. However, her life
changed when her father passed on. With her strong character, she didn’t compromise
to her life; she broke through the Feudalism thinking ‘It is a virtue for women without
talent’. She left and begun a journey of her very own, setting foot to the stage of the
world. In different stages of life of Lv Bicheng, she played different roles in the society

inspired by the modern women’s liberation thinking. She became an outstanding

Dynasty and the Republic of China. Nevertheless, her identity did not change. She
