Abstract: The method of expression in Lao she's novel is that of narration.The clear voice of the narrator often reminds one of Pingshu.The clarity of Lao she's narrative voice comes from its inclination to explain and from its use of comments and metaphors.The inclination to explain refers to the narrator's full grasp of the story,the frequent use of parentheses for the narrator's intentions,the repetitive use of “I” and “we”when narrating outside the story and the narrator's speaking on behalf of the characters in the story.The use of comments and metaphors is an important artistic way of disclosing the identity of the narrator and of expressing the narrator's views.The narrator in Lao she's novel uses comments and metaphors repeatedly so as to express the narrator's views and to guide the reader aesthetically.
