On the Evolution and Return of Utopian Narrative Thought in Ge Fei’s Fiction

Ge Fei’s fiction has been studied for three decades, and the achievements are countless, but it doesn’t mean the end of the research. As for “Southern Trilogy” and Yin Shen Yi, they seemingly have no relationship, but in fact, there’s a close relationship between them. So only the research into them is conducted as a whole, the process of the development from “Utopia” to “Anti-utopian” and then returning to “Utopia” can be intuitively grasped; the recessive regression of Utopian narrative thought can be clearly seen; the complex evolution of Utopian narrative thought can be comprehensively combed; the Utopian narrative thought in Ge Fei’s fiction can be correctly interpreted, thus the gaps of the research into Ge Fei’s fiction can be made up. The regression of Utopian narrative thought is not only an irreversible historical trend and the inherent requirement of social development, but also the inevitable requirement of the positive meaning of Utopian and the rigid need of personal survival and development. It’s the inevitable result of development of Ge Fei’s cognition. Through such “evolution” and “regression”, Ge Fei shows us the significance and great value of “Utopian”.
