Is Du Shiniang's story true or not?
Du Shiniang is a fake, because she is only the heroine in the novel Warning the World, Du Shiniang's Angry Box written by Feng Menglong in the Ming Dynasty. Once a prostitute, she was deeply oppressed but indomitable, struggling to get rid of adversity. I put all my hopes on Li Jia, a rich boy in Shaoxing. However, no matter how hard she tried, she could not escape the bondage of tragic fate. Li Jia betrayed his faith and sold it to Sun Fu. In desperation, Du Shiniang denounced Sun Fu and Li Jia, threw the treasure in the treasure chest into the river and finally jumped into the rolling waves.

Du Shiniang's story is just an example of Qian Qian's desire to be redeemed as a kind woman. They are smart, beautiful and enthusiastic, but unfortunately they are in an insulted and hurt position and live a life of hell on earth. I hope to get rid of this life and ask for a "human" life. But in the old society, women in Du Shiniang's position, just to live a "human" life, had to make great efforts to plan for several years, and sometimes they made great efforts, but still failed to achieve their goals.

Du Shiniang is just a microcosm of the female tragedy of that era, which can be said to be false or true.
