It is an important part of Chinese modernistic advancement, which farmers enter the cities. Since in 1980s, it has formed the billowing current, which on the limited land, the rich-odd countryside labor forced from undeveloped Chinese mid-west area to the relatively developed eastern part. Through periodical research, it has already become a Chinese present novel important performance goal that the contradictory conflict is paid attention to them and their life space which they enter; their life value showing and frustrating. Since this article People's Literature and so on in the domestic 11 main literatures periodical has had mentioned explicitly between2000 and 2005, these the farmers comes from the mid-west area of contents is the research object. The centralism discussion is about the transfer of their literature imagination. The thesis is divided in three parts to illustrate:The First part covers the underlying factor that the mid-west farmers enter the cities. Regardless of running away "poor", running away "crime" and seeking love that belongs to themselves, they all view entering the cities as the only choice; they all have "the city complex" and"the city complex"is a psychological battle field for all farmers in the countryside, especially the persons from mid-west areas.The second part covers the life showing that the mid-west farmer enters the cities. These have become main field territory of the life demonstration, which their body, their love and sex are pressed and struggle violently in the existing space. In this life field territory, some of them have the bright regional symbol; in the novel, characters distinctively brand local mark and "the lake Hunan moral character" also can be manifested.The third part makes us see a complicated psychological battle, which they have the three kinds of attitudes through entering the cities: Running away, returning and keeping watching.
