The Chinese contemporary novelist Bi Feiyu pays much attention to the language in his fictitious writing. His fictitious language has a distinctive personality. He also deeply thinks about the relationship between language and the human life. This thesis will discuss these problems by analyzing his fictitious language examples.This thesis contains three chapters.The first chapter talks about Bi Feiyu's individual characteristic of his fictitious language from three different aspects. First of all, he is good at using some moving mood of plants to show the state of people's psychology in a certain situation. Secondly, innovation and repetition coexists in Bi Feiyu's fictitious language. The writer uses various fixed language style in an unusual way to carry out the innovation on language. But at the same time he still repeats some similar discourse in his different works, due to the writer's thought confine and shortage of life experiences etc. Thirdly, his fictitious language has a flavor that coming from South China because he uses dialect of the north of Jiang Su province and uses some animals which live in rivers to form metaphor.The second chapter discusses Bi Feiyu's ironic fictitious language. Some discourse in his works has a light style and profound meaning expressing his doubtful thoughts about history and reality. The writer uses ironic discourse to realize his fictitious ideal. Light but dignified is the ideal literary style that Bi Feiyu likes. Ironic language contains three different sorts of discourse style. One is paradox, another is imitating fixed discourse ironically, and the other is understatement. From the readers'view, ironic language can form a kind of perfect intercommunication.The third chapter analyzes the relationship between language and the human life in Bi Feiyu's fictions. Different language can be a common block of family members'emotional communication, such as the communication between parents and children, husband and wife. From the language in self narration and being narrated we can see the survival plight of people. When strangers live in a new environment sometimes they have to change their language and learn a new one. Giving up their old language style may bring harm to them. All in all, language rules the human life through various outer power.
