The 1980s, the decade right after the Cultural Revolution, played an important part in the history of contemporary Chinese literature. Numerous research projects investigating the literature and literary trends of the 1980s in China have been conducted over the years. At the turn of the Twentieth-first century, the notion of "Revisiting the 1980s" arose and the re-examination of the literature and literary trends of the 1980s under a new perspective has taken place. To revisit the literary scene of the 1980s on Mainland China, scholars do not only focus on literary writings, but also on a large amount of printing materials including a series of interviews, columns of literary periodicals and literary criticism involving a great number of artists, writers, critics as well as literary historians. With different intentions and methods, they reviewed the literature and literary trends of the1980s from various positions and perspectives. This new, broad and complex perspective suggested by the notion of "Revisiting the 1980s" was therefore formed.This thesis argues that the rise of the notion of "Revisiting the 1980s" represented more than a simple cultural tendency that revived the flourish of literature in that particular period of time. It led to a throughout re-examination and reevaluation of the literature and literary trends of the 1980s under a new perspective by investigating writers' own fictional writings and rewritings in the new century. This thesis investigates the fictional writings by three important contemporary Chinese writers, namely Liu Sola (1955- ), Han Shaogong (1953- ) and Can Xue (1953- ), who respectively represent the schools of Modernist Literature, Rootseeking Literature and Avant-Garde Literature, all schools which appeared in the early 1980s. It states how the writers re-examined their positions in the above mentioned literary trends through writing and rewriting fictions and it further reviews the way different literary schools in the 1980s were formed.The thesis first analyses how Liu Sola transformed the traditional image of "The Superfluous Man" in her writings since the 1980s. It points out that though her writing style has been deeply influenced by Western aesthetic modernism, in her works she expresses her great concern for the modern Chinese society. In the case of Han Shaogong, this thesis elaborates the meaning of "Root-seeking" for him, how he rewrote his classic root-seeking fictions Homecoming and Pa Pa Pa, and the way he developed from then onwards. At last, it examines how Can Xue suggested the idea of "Neo-experimental Literature" and put it into practice. She returned to the original intention of "constant self-reform" and continued to develop the so-called Chinese Avant-Garde Literature in a narrative style. By looking into the writings of these three writers, this thesis argues that they were placed in a passive position during the formation of the literary trends in the 1980s. By "detaching", "amending" and "returning" to the literary trends of the 1980s, they showed their own ways to revisit the 1980s.
