Terdapat dua jenis sumber yang digunakan dalam studi ini. Pertama, sumber utama adalah novel Flowers Of War.

Hasil analisa dalam studi menunjukkan bahwa stereotip itu tidak selamanya paten seperti itu, tetapi akan menyesuaikan situasi kondisi pada saat itu. Terlihat dalam novel bahwa stereotipe yang tertanam pada seorang pelacur selalu negative tetapi terlihat dalam novel adanya sebuah perubahan penilaian terhadapa wanita Qin Huai River diamana mereka melakukan aksi pahlawan untuk menyelamatkan para gadis. Itu mematahkan semua prasangka buruk yanag awalnya melekat pada mereka. xiii PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION A.
