| Chinese society is experiencing the important, obvious society so far by stages in the eighties. In this era taking economy and market as center, mass culture comes into the Chinese society and grows vigorously rapidly. Have caused deep influence on Chinese existing culture form. Regarding mass culture of contemporary as study background, this article observes the changes on the writing way of Chili in the past 20 years, analyzes the hiding inevitable demerits caused by mass culture thereafter, and formulizes the personal view on the choices of modern writers in this era of mass culture. The full text divides into four major parts:The first part explains the definition and the relevant problems of mass culture. Mass culture rises in the contemporary city mainly. It's closely related to contemporary great industry, modern media production and consumption in enormous quantities as the medium. Its essential features include modernity, common customs, commerciality and recreation. Contemporary Chinese mass culture is a result of the reform happening in eighties. Now it has become the most important social culture, influencing people's cultural values, changing people's life style and assaulting the past cultural attitude strongly. In the field of literature, precise literature has lost people's favor gradually, the artistic mythology collapses with a loud crash. Under this kind of background, writers' creation psychology and writing road have changed deeply; they have to make the new literature choice. Some of them have chosen to become the producers of the mass literature. Chili is one of them.The second part, Chili is an accurate writer who is good at catching the specific social life. The changes of her road in the past 20 years were closely related to development of contemporary Chinese mass culture. Creating the new realistic novels was the first tearing step of Chili at the beginning of the coming of mass culture. When the whole society was commercialization in the 1990s, mass culture was flourishing day by day under the strong strut of market economy, Chili sizing up the current situation has presented various legends of new city's novel for the reader quickly This was the second step of tearing. Since then, Chili is no longer a writer of pure literature, but a thorough popular writer.The third part analyzes Chili novels' aesthetic and the moral demerits bring by her citizen posture. On one side, because Chili made great efforts to fetch the citizen's aesthetic and interesting narration tactics that caused the aesthetic demerit of the works. On the other hand, Chili did her best to approve the life of the citizen without a sober and clear criticism and unconditional to compromise about citizen culture, which caused Chili's works demerit on the morals position.The fourth part explores Chili the operation ways of works. First of all, mass culture lets the commercialized process of the publishing business be accelerated constantly deeply, Chili's market potentiality wins the publisher's favor which lets the writer get the economic and social power together. Further more, with the developments of image culture, Chili combined with image works, which let her find the shortcuts to the mass culture. At last, on packing in masses' image, Chili strengthened her traditional customs to gain readers. Under the impact of the market and commerce, Chili's novel has become one kind of mass culture in the eyes of the literary circles or the readers. In view of the research of the above, the author does not think mass culture is a kind of ideal culture deserving to trust. It can't promote people's spirit and ideal. So we can't entertain too many tolerant attitudes to it. Contemporary writers should face the new circumstances that mass culture brings, and respond the realistic new problem. The writers should guide the mass to the good literature, and transmit the correct values to them constantly.
