Feminism is an important concept in contemporary sociology that has affected many disciplines. Without feminism, our world today would be different. Out of feminism's history in various countries, the history of feminism in China is undoubtedly one of the most unique and most tortuous. As one of the countries with the highest level of gender equality in the Mao era to women's deteriorating rights today, China's feminism has undergone a unique development. China has the largest population in the world, and its level of gender equality has a profound impact on the world's overall situation. After the failure of the national feminists who obey the government, in recent years, new feminists have begun to speak out in China. They express their needs differently from their predecessors and try to influence national policies. This article analyses the process of the Chinese feminist movement from a historical perspective and judges the reasons for the emergence of a new generation of feminists and their needs, as well as proposing possible paths and obstacles to promote equality between men and women in China. In the current situation, the attitude of the Chinese government will still determine the success of feminism. Keywords: Feminism, China, Intersectionality, Gender, Confucianism
