Literature, as a kind of art, can never improve only by itself. Those which are really important to the history of literature always contain historical and philosophical thoughts too. And also, they have international value. The intention of this kind of literature works is what we called "Big literature", which is also the intention of literature criticism in this age. We have to realize that somehow Chinese modern literature art shares a part of foreign modern literature's track. To find an interesting example of it is a valuable research. This example happens to be Milan Kundera in this paper.Milan Kundera, as one of the most important novelists from late 20th to 21st, has been wildly accepted by literature world. The complicated political background of Czechoslovakia, north Europe gives his works very outstanding style. Yet, during his life of writing, he tends to regress to his Western Europe complex, trying to carry on the renaissance of modern novels.Milan Kundera has been discussed by a lot of Chinese critics since he was introduced to us. Pure political explanation undermined writer's initial idea; pure technical explanation seems also endangered by practical technology. Mr. Liu xiao feng, unlike most of the other critics, begins with modern ethical questions, praised Kundera's efforts on "the possibilities of being" in his novels. Yet, he still cannot have peace with Kundera's moral relativism and his fleer.This article is trying to explain the importance of "research of being" towards the research of Kundera. Analysis is based on Mr. Liu xiao feng's essay "Unbearable Body". This article is clearing up and re-understanding kundera's moral relativism.
