There’s no doubt that no name aunt is a tragic woman who was abandoned by her family, her husband’s family and the whole society. In China, a name is not only a symbol of a person but also a manifestation of profound meanings like social status, ties of family blood and cultural backgrounds. Maxine’s aunt was named “no name woman” and this means that she lost her identity. Her family evicted her out and never mentioned her after her death because her infidelity did great harm to the reputation of a family as well as the whole village. It was serious punishment for no name aunt like the book mentioned “The real punishment was not the raid swiftly inflicted by the villagers, but the family’s deliberately forgetting her”（Kingston, 1976：3）.
