Some people study Xiaobo Wang's fiction on the perspective of narration. But we find that some researchers are just telling about the choosing of the particular perspective. The perspective is "I". Also can be called "Wang er". They don't tell why and the meaning of choosing that perspective. At the same time they didn't notice the perspective's morphing, defamiliarization and dialogue. This article gives the answer of these questions. The perspective of "I"(also called "Wang er") is a kind of limited narration, which is relative to the unlimited narration. The character of the perspective is that it can only narrate the things what narrator can see or hear. When the narrator can't see or hear, he can't narrate it. The advantage of this limited narration is that it can make the reader believe it more than they believe others. The reader will enter the scene more easily. So the reader will have more trust on the story. Most of fictions of Xiaobo Wang are used the perspective of "I"(also called Wang er) to narrate things. At the same time the limited narration is benefit to making dramatic effect. Because of the narrator limited his own right, he can keep back some information. It can make some dramatic scene. For example, in Golden times, it used limited narration. "I"didn't know others'opinion. So when they all said that "I"wasn't exist, my exist became a question. All of this made dramatic scene. The advantage of this limited perspective is also its disadvantage. Because of the narrator can only narrate the things what he see or hear. So the narrator meets his difficult in 2015. "I"must narrate the experience of my uncle. Although "I"used "the police say"and "according to what I see from the window", which still can't explain how I can see it in many other places. There is not only one way of narration in the Xiaobo Wang's fiction. It also has the perspective's morphing. It not only includes the obvious changing, such as the changing of person and the changing of narrative ways. But also include some concealed changing, such as the changing of the narrator's value. In the love of revolution, there is obvious changing of the person. In the first and the third section of the first chapter, the fiction used the person of "Wang er". It can also be called as the third person. This person is unlimited narration. It tells us a worker named "Wang er". Some one doubts that Wang er drew obscene picture. So they kept on running after him. Because using the third person and unlimited narration, we can find some jokes from his experience. In the second and the fourth section of the first chapter, the fiction is used the person of "I". It can also be called as limited narration. It tells some thing happened of "mine". In his childhood, he saw the scene of steel-melting. Because it uses the first person, the reader can be on very intimate terms with the narrator's activity. The reader and the narrator will have the same feeling. Then in the different person we have different appreciation of the beauty. In the long life temple, there is obvious changing in the narrator's status. The narrator's status changed from "I"(also called Wang er) into "I"(Xuesong), "I"(the girl in tower) and "I"(the brother of Xuesong). But in the changing of narrator's status, it conceals the changing of the narrative way. The third person is changed the first person. Because the changing of the narrator's status, the things were happened in different perspective. When they changed the scene, at the same time they changed the perspective. It adds more feeling to the reader's heart. The...
