摘　　要：Lu Yin庐隐(1898-1934)was a leading“new woman”,and she had scaled the heights of her writing profession in mid-Republican China.In her short 36-year life,she published over 200 works in all,including novels,essays,proses and travelogues.As the first May Fourth female writer who touched upon the theme of homosexuality and depicted a lesbian story without reservation,Lu Yin created a short story“The Diary of Lishi”in which she narrated the love between Lishi and her same-sex partner Yuanqing;but this finally ended in tragedy,which implied Lu Yin’s deconstruction of binary gender order.Meanwhile,this paper distinguishes“Old Friends on the Seashore”from lesbian or quasi-lesbian stories and argued that this fiction was more in terms of female same-sex camaraderie instead of lesbian love.
