Chapter One Introduction 

1.1 Research Background 
Su Tong, as one of the most celebrated Chinese writers both at home and abroad, is known for his deftly-constructed story structure, narrative style and innovative and experimental  language.  His  novels  are  famous  for  beautiful  and  sensitive  words, profound implication, as well as imaginative and circumlocutory plots. He is good at depicting the real human nature and characters’ inner world. Since 1983, Su Tong has published a large number of works including seven full-length novels and more than 200  novellas,  some  of  which  have  been  translated  into  such  different  languages  as English, French, German and Italian, etc. bringing him great fame internationally and domestically.  Wo De Di Wang Sheng Ya was written by Su Tong in 1992. Revolving around a spoilt  and  naive  prince  Duanbai,  he  is  brought  to  power  unexpected  by  his grandmother and become the seeming potent emperor of the Xie dynasty. Assuming the role as the ruler, he begins to abuse his power wildly. Nevertheless, he is nothing but  a  puppet  emperor  under  the  control  of  his  grandmother,  Madame  Huangfu,  and his biological mother, Madame Meng. Plagued by fear and frustration, he is deprived of  the  power  to  protect  his  lover  and  to  make  decision  as  to  the  domestic  affairs. Ultimately, he is taken place by Duanwen, one of his half-brother, who is proven to be  the  only  legal  successor  to  the  throne  in  accordance  with  the  imperial  edict. Drifting  from  place  to  place,  he  becomes  a  tightrope  walker  as  he  pleases.  What distinguish  this  novella  from  other  works  of  Su  Tong  are  its  oriental  charm  and mystique.
