This was a portrayal of a patient, self-effacing, even masochistic feudal type woman. Yet in the post- "liberation" mainland, where women are said to "hold up half of Heaven," it turns out this character was incredibly loved, even causing a "Desire 'Fever."
這樣一個忍耐、犧牲，甚至有點自虐的封建女性形象，在「解放」後，女性能扛半邊天的中國大陸，居然破天荒地大受愛慕，甚至引起「渴望熱」。
