摘要

Abstract

Mo Yan's *Frogs* centers on the character of Auntie

presenting a complex and legendary female figure whose life spans six decades of dramatic rural fertility history. While previous studies have primarily focused on the causes of Auntie's tragedy

her character transformation

or the novel's critical perspective

this paper diverges by examining the underlying cultural subjectivity issues. The implementation of the national family planning policy profoundly impacted rural fertility concepts

transforming Auntie from the revered "Goddess of Fertility" to the life-indifferent "Policy Priestess

" and ultimately returning to human kindness. This process encapsulates deep reflections on cultural subjectivity.
