With the emergence of Shanghai in modern history,the narration of Shanghai has also formed its unique status.Since "Flowers of Shanghai" set a precedent of the narration of Shanghai,it becomes a tradition for the inheritors to take a initiative attitude to deviate from the mainstream narration instead of paying attention to the usual life and the presentation of the unique urban landscape in Shanghai.The history of Shanghai literature is not long,but the attempt to the writing style of Shanghai never stop.Although Han Bangqing's usual narrative caused a influence that can't be ignored but the inheritors of Shanghai narrative are constantly trying to open new writing space and is quite effective.Three current Shanghai writers' Shanghai stories,Wang Anyi's “Song of regret”(1995),Xiaobai's "Concession"(2011),and Jin Yucheng's "Flowers"(2012),show their ambition to write a new Shanghai story and challenge their predecessors' Shanghai writing.The writing time of the three works is closed,but they write three completely different Shanghai.This article is to discuss the charm of the Shanghai literature and the continuation and renewal of Shanghai writers from these three different Shanghai stories.(The "Shanghai narrative" in this article is the Shanghai story of the three works,or the author's writing to Shanghai in a certain way.)This article will mainly contains four aspects: First,from Shanghai public space(in this three works)such as region,streets,and private residence space to investigate the impact of interpersonal relationship from Shanghai's unique space form and the living conditions of people in this space with distinct class differences.In addition,through the comparison with "his" to get a further understanding about this city.Second,analyzing the people and their symbolic significance in these three works,they may represent the foundation of life in Shanghai,or the soul of the city,or the special existence of the special age.We may be able to see a glimpse of Shanghai's exist mystery through the way of shanghai people has responded to the ups and downs of fate.Third,discusses the author's attitude towards history from.the author's selection of story time and the appearance of time in the story of three Shanghaistories.Whether Wang Anyi's narrative represents her belief that history can be grasped,whether the two parallel time lines set by Jin Yucheng illustrate his confidence about history is collapsed,and believe that The present is not as good as the past.Xiaobai had picked on 19 May 1931 to July 19,this two months,and in the form of "montage" type,does this mean the author think that history is a broken stitching.We can feel that the three authors' Shanghai writing values different things.Obviously,What Wang Anyi emphasis is the description of the story,Xiaobai let the various people speak their respective voices."Flowers" is set up two time lines,but we can feel,under the comparison of the two parallel lines,what Jin Yucheng values is the remembrance of Shanghai,which filled the atmosphere of breath.Forth,discuss the significance of the present Shanghai writing.No matter how real of the former Shanghai scene in their "Shanghai" city,is essentially fictitious.The city map they presented was modified to achieve the purpose of rebuilding their own "Shanghai story".The reconstruction of “Shanghai” in the context of new cultural context and literary history is not only a response to the Shanghai writing,but also updated the Shanghai writing's tradition with "new writing".
