Abstract: “Model” as the image of “other” is a presentation in the process of intertextuality between postmodernism and Chinese local culture.In modern Chinese literature,“model” as a non-centralized image of “other” is the destruction of postmodernism to binary opposition;the evolution from a typical event to “other” is due to the destruction of postmodernism to meta-narrative;and the evolution from a typical circumstance to a plane “other” is due to the destruction of postmodernism to depth.At the same time,the cultural form of “model” as the image of “other” is represented in a process of “pan-elite,masses,and anti-elite”,which shows the different level of intertextuality between postmodernism and Chinese local culture.

Key words: model, other, postmodernism
