Shanghai can be said to the base and coordinate of creation for Wang Anyi. In this paper, I analyzed Shanghai narration system shown in Jishiyuxugou, Changhenge, Fuping which is referred to as Wang Anyi’s the Shanghai trilogy since the 1990s, discussed process constructed method to narrate Shanghai in each work. Through the three works, Wang Anyi has established a kind of methodology to narrate Shanghai based on the perception of Shanghai. In the changeover period cultural atmosphere of China of the 90s, Wang Anyi shows a change from the narrative position focusing on the intellectual of the 80s, propounded own ontological position, position of historical description and the multi-layered questions to relate to the urban subject through the spatial awareness of the Shanghai. Specifically, she shows to contemplate a change in the real recognition of the artist as a matter of Shanghai space, which was presented in position change of the narrative subject from the intellectual to citizens and a lower immigrant via three works.
