Under the returning wave of mysticism, ghost's talk is no longer in an embarrassing position to be attacked. Writers in Hong Kong and mainland China, influenced by different cultures, one after another, have come to a world haunting of deck twelve. They are giving interpretations of the traditional understanding and integration for the ghost's talk in different ways. Then the ghost's talk has become the ghost-involving imagination and fictional art forms by which they express the"contemporary"living condition which can be described as: hard-leaving, bewildering, absurd and fantastic. Study of contemporary ghost's talk literature continues to show that: for the literary within the scope of imagination, as long as the literature characterized by imagination and fiction still exists, the temptation of the ghost's talk to the writer will still exist.This paper has selected several works of writers between eighties and nineties for discussion and within the range of possibilities, capturing the several modes of ghost's talk that exist in contemporary literature so as to draw the picture of the ghost's talk in contemporary literature, build the various ghost'talk status different from the modern writers, thus achieving the aim of the continuous research of ghost'talk of the contemporary literature.Above all, most of the researches subordinate the"ghost's talk"as a part to the study of the mysticism without grouping it separately, which result in the confusion of the edge between the ghost'talk and the mysticism. Some of the ghost'talk is mystical but mysticism is not necessarily the ghost'talk. There are still a large number of mystical descriptions which have no ghost images. Therefore, the author will distinguish between the two in this paper and research into the ghost imagination and narrative techniques from the perspective of the ghost image. Secondly, for there is not a clear provision of the category of the ghost'talk research, the ghost narration in the eighties and nineties of the mainland China is lack of integrity and predictability. Thus this thesis will study the ghost narration and its characteristics of the eighties and nineties in mainland China in the angel of shaped ghost's talk. Thirdly, the studies are mostly about the modern China, but when they are relative to contemporary times, they are mainly based on the mainland not the literature of the Hong Kong and Taiwan. The author discovers in the study that the ghost narration of the eighties and nineties, with the gestalt sense, or rather the genuine ghost'talk is just exiting in the Hong Kong and Taiwan literature which this thesis writes as a highlight and illustrate all kinds of the narration modes of the ghost's talk. Finally, this paper will illustrate the difference and different cultural significance between the ghost'talk of mainland China and Hong Kong based on the comparison.
