Obviously, the constant emerging of the "Post-80s"and its discourses is a cultural phenomenon , however , a cultural phenomenon , the floating of the"Post-80s"literature is, moreover a literary phenomenon. Actually, when the"Post-80s"literature sprang up, it was always accompanied by a paradox. On the one hand , the"Post-80s"literature which totally accounted for 50% of the book-consuming market of the contemporary literature gained a large groups of acceptance and was especially warmly welcomed by the middle school students. On the other hand, it has not only been abandoned by the writers of the literary arena, but also completely ignorant about the mainstream of the critics for a long time. Occasionally, for the sake of the master degrees, there were some academic theses about the"Post-80s"literature, however, meanwhile, their understandings of these postgraduates frequently focused on the external research, including "Literary Industry", "Consumption Environment", "Popular Literature", "Idol Writing", "Adolescent Literature" and so on. Finally, there is no denying that they have forgotten the fact that the true features of the"Post-80s"literature lies in the literature text, not anything else. Therefore, in one sense, all of these understandings are almost misunderstandings. In view of these drawbacks, my thesis closely relies on the great quantities of the literature texts of the"Post-80s".Firstly, from the beginning, I tactfully add a bracket to shelve all of the above paradigms of the criticism, then, in the course of the close reading of the concrete texts, I gradually restore them and reproduce more canonical forms to take them into the consideration of the cultural research and literature criticism. Therefore, I think, maybe the research route which is from the appreciating to the criticizing, and from the texts to the theories, more appropriately agrees with the "Post-80s"literature who is constantly growing. As a result, by means of the evacuating or drawing from the numerous"Post-80s"literature texts, there are some key discourses, including " Youth", "Wandering ghosts", "Playing", "Sorrow", "Sadness", "Death", "Homosexuality", "Electra Complex and Patricide Complex", "Gender Ethics", "Ecological Ethics" and so on. Nevertheless, almost all of these discourse fragments trace the Meta-narrative and Monotheism of the discourse of " Youth" which inevitably results in the termination of the"Post-80s"literature and constitutes another paradox in any case. These two paradoxes not only indicates the destiny of the "Post-80s"literature , which is just like a soft string that suspends in the deep valley metaphorically, but also presents the legality and its crisis of the "Post-80s" literature.
