”The blockade” is a quite outstanding work in Eileen Chang's novel, but in the past studies, research workers mostly focused on that Zong-Zhen Lu and Cui-Yuan Wu are in love, or the new women's feminist consciousness and self-identity. Furthermore, a part of the discussions concerned the use of the aesthetic skills in ”The blockade.” But in fact, according to induce, Eileen Chang describes not only the material conditions of oppression in a large number of people in Shanghai, but also discusses the hypocrisy and sexism. This shows Eileen Chang pays attention to not only daily lives and love, but also thinks of people's predicament in the city.
