Abstract: Since the 1990s,narration in pioneer novels gradually changed its exploration of forms,and the writers,from a fancied,figurative reality,began to deeply explore the existence circumstances.Ge Fei’s “sage narration” and his description of the intellectuals,in a context of haphazard,absurdness,and irony,gave a vivid picture to the intellectuals as well as their desires.His examination on existence not only provided spiritual aide-memoirs for the cultural crisis of the intellectuals,but also gave a new hope to the fading torch of culture.

Key words: Ge Fei, sage narration, absurdness, irony, existence, intellectuals
