Since modern times,the process of visualization in China has enabled children to break away gradually from the status of being viewed as objects and become the subject of viewing.Chinese children's lit-erature offers a diverse range of visual texts that cater to Chinese children's subjective viewing,with modernity and children's reflexivity being two prominent themes,which are conveyed through the modern visual repre-sentation of graphic narratives in children's literature.The graphic narrative of modern Chinese children's lit-erature is not only a way for children to understand the modern world,but also a mirror for children to observe themselves.As a window to the modern world,graphic narrative contains the image translation of all"visible"and"invisible"aspects of modernity,which expands the realistic capacity of Chinese children's literature;as a mirror for children to observe themselves,graphic narratives go deep into the subjective spiritual level of children and profoundly participate in the construction of modern Chinese childhood culture.All these provide a new field of viewing for Chinese children as visual subjects.
