As a writer of the late generation,Dong Xi has written four novels,including The Slap,The Record of Regret,The Tampered Fate and The Echo,as well as many short stories and novellas in the past thirty years,and the"repetition"of narratives is an important aesthetic feature of his texts.Repetition is not only embodied in the details of the novel but also rooted in the consciousness of creation,becoming an instinct and revealing the unique narrative nature."Repetition"can occur in a single text and also exists between several texts,forming a continuous transcendental construction of theme and structure."Repetition"is Dong Xi's way of thinking about the social context and personal existence,which is the presentation of human suffering experience,the dissolution of linear logic and the care for the lonely situation.Repetition is a way of facing reality,capturing social history and individual growth,as well as an in-depth investigation of the world of existence.To explore the significance of Dong Xi's repeti-tive narratives is to explore how Dong Xi distills the meaning of the times through daily life experiences,and how he constructs an allegory of human existence.
