Abstract: As literary testimonies to the crimes against humanity committed by Japanese militarism during World War II,the English narrative texts with the subject of "comfort women" demonstrate periodic historical evolution,achieving a paradigm shift from "literary testimony"to "cultural construction".Emerging as an independent genre in the literary field,the English narrative texts with the subject of "comfort women" cover both documentary works by witnesses and fictional texts by professional writers.They reproduce the traumatic memories of "comfort women" through two narrative modes:the ordinary mode of "happy life before the war - bitter experience during the war - silence and voice after the war"and the special mode of "secret concealment - historical revelation - cognitive reconstruction".Their narrative features integrate ethnic minority cultural traits with the motifs of British and American literature,forming a unique tension in cross-cultural narration.Through the systematic study of English narrative texts,this article not only demonstrates the important role of literature in recording history and inheriting memory,but also provides cultural and academic support for resisting historical nihilism and upholding historical truth.

Key words: the subject of "comfort women", English narrative, narrative features, historical evolution
