From September 18th 1931, Japanese-occupied Area became another name of northeast China during the following fourteen years. The Colonial controls of Manchukuo make the modern literature come into an broken time and space in the northeast of China. When the exiles expressed their crying and anger for "the lost earth and old mother"', another part of writers that stayed in the Japanese-occupied area were still insisting on recording their sober souls. But the latter was there as an occlusion scene once more. With the basis of materials of history and the description of literature, the study about the literature of northeastern Japanese-occupied area still have so many themes that can be discovered. We are trying to begin this study with the question "how to be family", and make clear the types of narration about family novels that widely existed in the northeastern literature, and do some analysis about the reasons, characters, deep mechanism, historical value of it. Hope this work can get to attach with the true courses of the literature in that special time.This paper was divided into two parts. The first and second chapter was about the main instance of the family novels in the northeastern literature from 1933 to 1945. Base on the study of the creative theory and works of teams named as YeShao, DaBeifeng, WenXuan, WenCong, YiWenzhi, we can make clear their family narration on exterior manifest and aesthetic trend. The teams of YeShao, DaBeifeng observed the changes of "family" during the revolution as left wing firstly. The writers of WenXuan, WenCong discovered the realism material and spiritual disaster through their meaning "expose truth" and "delineate truth". YiWenzhi writers gathered thoughts of traditional ethical mode, cultural concept and human philosophy about the self-questioning of family culture. If we took the northeastern female writes as an community, we can pay attention to their novels about family fate and human feeling through the female angle of view. Because these works contained the possibility of exploration sex politics and the narrations of society care, nation care. After summarized family novels in the literature of northeastern Japanese-occupied area, the following part will chose two writers, LiangShanding and GuDing, and explain their typical novels based on the horizon of village and city. They not only showed different asks of different communities, but also recorded different family history of northeastern society.Through the study of phenomenal and partial ways, chapter three and four were about the deeply research of subjects and modes in the family novels of northeastern literature. After an complex analysis about works of every phase and team, the paper showed the various narrative forms of family culture in northeastern literature, including distressful female memory, revenge myth that come from conception of family conciliarism, country miss between regional consanguinity and native consanguinity, the deep subject in the isomorphism of family and nation that lied on the literature of northeastern colony. These topics took regional culture and special atmosphere as logical point, transform the fully resources of family culture into some indications that have archetypal meaning, and expressed the common feelings, national thoughts and memory in the black soil. In the northeast of China, family narration came into being the same as in the course of modern Chinese literature. That was from the family conception in agricultural economy, during the long time accumulation of traditional culture, pushed by the trend of modern Chinese literature. When we were aware of the narrative strategy between fence and fight as the background of Japanese-occupied times, we can get more chances to understand the emergence of family novels. Compared with modern Chinese literature, the "family" that came forth in the literature of northeast was a subsystem that connected with the matrix of Chinese literature. The character pedigree of it was maked up by housemasters, heritors, traitors, marginal and destroyers. They were a kind of complicated characteristics that created by the regional culture and writers. The northeastern writers were inclined to make the "family" be a depressed and ruined characteristical being. They also showed the "downfall narration" by this space image. Related to the situation of the literature in Japanese-occupied ages, family narration of that time has three period changes. Society analysis, culture reflection, ethic criticism and philosophy figuration were four types of the texts. These can reflected that the northeastern writers were identical in the creative thinking, value position, collective cognition and cultural conception. These can also mark the specialty of northeastern family narration from the same subject in Chinese literature. However, the specialty was of the origin that lies in the same cultural matrix.
