As one of the four most typical novelettes by Yu Hua,Only the River Flows,is presented before the read-ership as a fascinating suspense story via non-linear narrative,one of the main narrative techniques of post-modern novels,where an anisochronous depiction is employed,with its time flow diffusing on a given point of time to various points in dealing with and displaying temporal-spatial sequences.In this sense,non-linear narrative is of unique value in literary creation.A polyphonically structured narrative,which is characterized with pluralistic post-modern-ism,underscores equal exchanges and dialogue among pluralistic independent ideologies.Vagueness and uncertain-ty from this story's open ending invite the readership to visualize and interpret its development.An in-depth analy-sis of this novelette's non-linear narrative facilitates our better understanding of the style of post-modernist aestheti-cism.
