Since the 1990s, in China, a group of the "Late Generation" or "New Generation" writers Whole-heatedly advocates "personal" writing and the individual liberalism ethic narrative that tries to back to personal experience. The individual liberalism ethic and the modern national ethic are two sides of modern ethic; with the development of the modern ethic, the modern national ethic was suppressing gradually the individual liberalism ethic. So, this essay thinks it is the literary effort to return from ideology, especially political ideology, to literature itself, which has significant implications for the long shackled narrative of contemporary literature.The key symbol for the formation of the individual liberalism ethic lies in the individual independence. The individual liberalism ethic narrative for the "Late Generation" is just the puzzle of communication ethicisagy: How will the modern humans be really free after getting freed sexually? In such a perspective, the fiction narratotlogy for the "Late Generation" is anti-modernity modernity narrative, which is of great contemporary significance.In 1998, "Rupture" events make their rebel against tradition open and firm. A number of excellent writers like Han Dong and Zhu Wen gave trivial as well as real manifestation to people's present existence condition. In the deconstructive narration of "the poetic quality", thereexists a "deep narrative" power that seems to penetrate the surface of contemporary life in their modern ethic narration. At the same time, the fiction narrative represented by He Dun, is mainly displayed by the superficiality of life wanders. They never concern about what lies behind the modern superficiality. The appearance of the so-called "body writing" in "people of the 1970s", in "beauty writers" and in the "lower part of body" poetry is the extreme development of absolute modern individual liberalism ethic narrative. The rebels with a revolutionary posture of aesthetic modernity end up and face degenerating into the dependency of market modernization.The lack and deflect of "late generation" writers lie in their partial understanding of "now" discourse and "body" discourse as the main originators of fiction narrative. Nevertheless, more than anything else, the "late generation" novels depict "story without meaning" or superficial understanding spectacles of life, lacking in the ability to master "history" and "reality" and the measure "in Divinity".
