In her novel Baoshui Village, Qiao Ye narrates from a keen female perspective about the awakening and transformation of contemporary rural women, portraying the great changes in rural China in the new era. The “Baoshui Village” in the novel is not only a rural space as the object of writing, but also provides a significant background against which the great changes in rural China are depicted. It also serves as an important means to advance the plot of the novel and provides a way to organize the time of the novel. In the novel, Qiao Ye connects the village and the world outside the village from the dual perspectives of the heroine Di Qingping, to create a new relationship between people and countryside, and between rural areas and cities from a perspective of totality to paint a new picture of rural China.
