The daily-life narration is the important feature of Yan Geling's novel narration. In her novel writing, Yan Geling pays attention to the daily life of nobody from her individual experience. The memory of The Cultural Revolution has been revived through narration from the childhood perspective and the individual experience of revolution politics has been portrayed through description of the hungry feeling. The daily-life conflict is to highlight the conflict of Chinese and Western cultures and demonstrate the living condition and complex humanity of marginalized groups. Her works focus on the secular life of nobody especially the women under the historical background to record the changes of women's individual destiny and create the gender images of strong women and weak men in daily situations as well as gives new literary meaning to daily-life narration.Through the various descriptions of daily-life sensations, daily-life situations and daily-life experiences, her works unfold another way of expression and aestheticism in women's writing, refute and dispel unintentionally the grand narration and deny the strong cultural nostalgia and grand cultural utopia. Women's roles as mothers, wives and daughters has been removed and mixed through the daily-life narration.
