Still, few scholars have discussed women during the transition. This article focuses on a talented women, Zhu Zhongmei(1622-1672). Zhu Zhongmei was a woman of the Ming imperial clan, but her husband, Li Yuanding (李元鼎, 1595-1670) worked as an official in the Qing Dynasty. This study describes how she faced the fall of Beijing in 1644 (甲申之變) and her life in the Qing Dynasty through a study of her writing on changes and catastrophes in her countryside hometown. Zhu had a strong intention to remain a hermit, an intention in fact even stronger than her husband. The results of this study shed light on the subjectivity of an important female intellectual.
