Abstract: The deviation on narration in terms of space, perspective and gender of Jia Pingwa’s Broken Wings lies in the fact that the novelist originally intends to speak out for a kidnapped woman but instead shows emotional bias towards rural areas without truly depicting the physical, emotional and psychological grief of a tragedy-stricken Hu Die the heroine. This deviation is a result of the split of the novelist’s first-person narration, which relates the misery from the perspective of Hu Die while depicting gently the hard life and beautiful ethics in the village. Cold depiction of violence and warm narration of rural life form the two touches of the same pen. Thus in front of this shift of perspective and change of attitude, direct depiction of Hu Die’s tragic life becomes evasive as emotional ethics dissolves violence while erotic love shrouds suppression of women by men, making the novel complicated and multi-dimensional.
Key words: Hu Die, Geliang Village, femininity, deviation on narrative
