Now in China, the culture, presented and transmitted by television, has become one of the inevitable ingredients of China's contemporary culture. It plays a narrative way in communicating with the audience, functioning an imperceptible effect on nowadays social values and cultural trend, witnessing the changes on our lives and society. Literature is human being, a good literary works is supposed to reflect social reality and the people's real feelings.The showing of the TV series of Dwelling Narrowness, as if it has stung our nerves, makes the whole world restless. The Dwelling Narrowness illustrates us a series of complex social phenomena brought about by a suit of house, draws us different people's destinies in today's social space, and it has become the hot topic in our Chinese society and on the internet, receiving a wide range of attention. We need to reflect on what we've lost and what we really need in the process of the city's modernization, the human modernization. We need space to place our bodies, more to space our hearts . Literature originates from life, and a realism literary works is to necessarily reflect the real life textually. Thus, the readers can experience and discover life from these various kinds of works. And the value produced by combining with the society is the real value of the literature. The play of 35 episodes has almost combined all the keys words of the current social problems: mortgage slave, official, corruption,"xiao san", and so on. For these fiery topics, they made us see the real living environment, and attracted many experts and scholars to interprete it. Even some scholars from overseas have regarded it as a new sample to interprete our Chinese society. A film, quietly popular in some extent must reflect the values of the era, ethical appeal and public way of life. China now is in its social transformation, and the living space of the city life has always been a giant stage for desire. This flashy and restless city is full of temptation and growing vanity, torturing people's outlook on life and morality. So,"The Dwelling Narrowness"is a call not only for the life space, but for inner space, under both of which hidden the desire to break through"The Dwelling Narrowness". According to the Space Sociology, a spatial relationship is also a sort of social relationship, and the production of the space is also a kind of production of the social relations, the product of the social politics, economy and culture. City space is closely linked to our society, and our human beings live in the space, as well as in society.In my opinion, the production and reconstruction of any city in some degree will reflect on conflict betewen the interest groups and the individuals. There exists a server unfairness in the production of the city space. From the whole, it is the invisible factors, such as power, wealth, reputation that dominates the prodution and distribution of the city space, taking on the dynamic polarization and flowing. Housing is something that can mirror this course vividly. A person's values and moral standards, most of all, is a reflection of social existence. with the development of market economy and the ever abundance of the social life, the economic interest has become one of the important values criteria. Urban society, as a spatial background in which our individuals live, produces and reproduces the dwelling narrowness phenomena and the individual spiritual value orientation pervaded in it as well.This paper is divided into three parts: introduction part, body part and conclusion part respectively. In the introduction part, the research angle is established first. And then it deals with the literature review on the text of the Dwelling Narrowness from the perspective of Space Sociology both at home and abroad. It also, at last, points out the creativity and significance of this paper.The body part consists of three chapters.The first chapter gives a general idea of Dwelling Narrowness and its setting. Among the three sections of this chapter, the first section analyses the grayness under the colorfulness of the urban life, the second section conducts the differentiation of the city strata, and the third section interprets the unapproachable city.The second chapter provides the modern suffering in our personality in the city space, which also consists of three sections. The first section is mainly about the people's personality in the process of urbanization. The second section probes into the struggle in the personality. The last section illustrates the effect of the economic society on the personality.In the third chapter, Dwelling Narrowness provides a telescope through which we could see the living space and the spiritual values of the urban people. This chapter is also divided into two sections: the description of the value dislocation of the city living space in the first section, the analysis of the popularity and the prohibition of the play in the second section.The conclusion part sketches a critic on the fact that Dwelling Narrowness casts an attention to the people's living space in an artistic way, and, once more, highlights the significance of the theme from both the academic perspective and the perspective of the text implication. It is a literary works of critical realism, probing into the meaning of the value of life and the times, analysing the production of the space and the game rules of the market, and calling for a more solid spiritual foundation for the value of life besides the material basis.
