Danmei to me, just like a piece of the jigsaw. I have a long time reading danmei novels, and I believe danmei participants in my personality development. I am definitely not afraid of expressing my feelings or emotions, and I recognize the Chinese queer group’s difficulties. Danmei also makes me think about why Chinese women accept danmei. When I was a teenager, another reason for obsesses on danmei is danmei novels are brave, and I could observe the pure romantic relationship between two males. So it makes me feel upset when I read current popular danmei fictions and notice the weakening of female characters, the denial of female significance, and the anti-feminism. Because I am afraid that no other realize the currently popular concept is dangerous and increasing the gap between females and males. I love danmei culture, and I respect it. Therefore, I don’t want to see danmei disappeared in one day. I guess the love of danmei and my belief on no changing being too late are worked as two major powers to support me overcome all difficulties.

Basically, after I have researched danmei culture in Chinese society, I believe danmei becomes popular is an expectable trend. Danmei novels allow both readers and writers to expose their needs in a purely romantic relationship. Women are the main component of danmei fans, and due to cultural and historical elements, women are still materialized and feel shame to express their desires. In the imaginary world, writers can design romantic characters without thinking about reproductive or other traditional female’s social responsibilities. In danmei novels, one male shares beauty on appearances, just like typical female characters. Still, this male character can enjoy the rights as his identity is male, also receives protection from his boyfriend. The male character could have advantages on both sides. When female readers and writers viewing those words, they can put themselves into the male character and have a chance to express their needs and talk about love confidently.
