摘要

Abstract

Chinese Western films have continuously evolved within the tide of history

and their female characters have undergone a transformation—from archetypal "earth mothers" to objectified figures

and further into complex

multifaceted

and authentically portrayed individuals in new Western cinema. In-depth study of this evolution reveals a significant dimension of Chinese Western film artistry

profoundly reflecting the awakening of female consciousness and the reconfiguration of gender identity amid social change.
