As a famous contemporary writer in China literary circles, Fang Fang was classified as a representative writer of new realistic novel for her novelette scenery which was published in 1987. But the comment circles pay more attention to her new realistic writing style, such as writing of zero feeling, naturalism, original ecology, every day life. Her novels appear relaxed and natural, but they contain deep thought which is about miserable existence of human life. Fangfang's novels are profound, and there is a kind of serious tragedy feeling under her ordinary description. In this paper , the writer attempts to find an entrance from her novels of different subject matter, and reveals the deep tragic connotation which was contained in her novels by examining the serious living reality, people's tragedy human nature that was expressed by the original ecology life feeling in her novels,Except for introduction and concluding remarks, the whole article can be divided into three parts.In the introduction, the writer mainly combs the tragic connotation, which was contained in Fangfang's novels, and points out the theory center of resistance in the course of the proof.In the text, the writer expounds the tragic connotation of Fangfang's novel sfrom three angles.Part one: The song of human natural' tragedy. Fang Fang is an expert of dissecting human feelings. Her scalpel was directly toward the deep of human spirits.
