The absurdity insinct of Hao Ning is an innate and unique aesthetics tendency embodied by his movies based on Ning's own artistic recreation of his observation and direcet experiencing of the current society as well as reflection on the world. The absurdity instinct can realize a kind of artistic expection that imitates life but surpasses life.The absurdity reflected by the narration of Hao Ning's movies refers to absurd plots and absurd figures, especially absurd life situations of those figures in his movies, thus demonstrating strong post-modernism. In Hao Ning's films, there are no super heroes saving the world at critical points and no elites dressing gloriously and strategizing, but a group of low-class, isolated unimportant persons making fun and doing as they please. Including them into complicated and well-made plots, Hao Ning has voiced for current unimportant persons, thereby reaching a humoring effect and attracting people's attention.In Hao Ning's movies, there is a lot of classics parody. However, he does not copy by rote, but process them in his own specific manner, perfectly catering for the plot. Black humor, as Ning's trademark, has been inherited from Guy Ritchie. Nonetheless, this trademark has been different in his ten years' works. The multi-line narration of Crazy Stone and Crazy Racer has shared much in common with Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. After a localized recreation by Hao Ning, the movie has been provided with its own characteristics. The deep analysis of the application of stage properties in Hao Ning's movies particularly in chapter two makes the feature of absurdity more impressive.Having experienced three years' difficulties for No Man Land, Hao Ning has also grown and is making his movies transform slowly. The last section made a thorough analysis of the origin of absurdity, made a complete description of Hao Ning's transformation as well as made a comprehensive analysis of Hao Ning's influence on Chinese movies.
