Abstract: Feminine depression has clear gender characteristics in Ding Ling's early novels, which is called feminine gender anxiety.This anxiety is reflected in aspects of their love, marriage, homosexuality, and friendship.Finally all these anxieties can be summed up as meaningless anxiety."Meaninglessness" is the result which comes from ultimate thinking about the significance of life.The gender anxiety described by Ding Ling is the anxiety of the vulnerable group's margin over the center, the anxiety over women's failure in finding their own value, and the anxiety over the emptiness of the ultimate meaning of life.
