The skill of exposing the narrative is common in Chinese and Westen, while the metafiction sprang up in the 1950's is different from the traditional conception of literature. In this narrative strategy it adds two premises: self-conscious and emphasize on the fabricattion. In 1980's some metafiction appeared in China and a group of writers joined in such as MaYuan, HongFeng, GeFei, SuTong, Sun-Ganlu. The Chinese metafiction aims at suspecting the literature convention and reminds the writer and reader to realize it. In their opinion once the convention turns outmoded, it will obstruct expression.To this day, the research of Chinese metafiction is not be faced seriously, we need monograph and dialogue. Only a few people do some work about this topic in 1980's. They made some introduction on the theories of metafiction. But the research is not continued later.The paper will discussed Chinese metafiction from four chapters. In the first chapter we will look back at the conception, chief characters and skills.
