'The Ninth Widow' is one of the master pieces of Geling Yan, the famous female writer. It also a transformational work. The remarkable story happend in Central China. A widow named Grape Wang hinded her step-father during the period of Land Reform. The time span stretches from 1940s to 1980s. Splendid historical narratives are bounded with personal vicissitudes, profound mercy for mankind is blended with authenic liveliness. Grape Wang is one of the most glowing female characters creared by Geling Yan, with an outstanding personality of strength and aggressiveness, persistency and charm. Her benevolence and tolerance for everything transcends all the gains and losses in the secular world. Being an adopted child, Grape Wang hinded her step-father in a way of practicing filial piety. As a widow, she suffered strong lust and maintained sexual relationships with several other men. The whole story is about glorious humanity. It embodies and reflects genuine energy and essence of folk cult
