On the Narrative Mode of Three Brothers in Modern Family Novels
Abstract
Modern family novels often have a three-brother narrative model, which is adopted in the modern Chinese novels The Riptide Trilogy, The Siege, and The Hall of Four Ages. The "three brothers" in these three works are placed in different family and social environments and make different choices in life, thus reflecting the turbulent historical situation and changing cultural context of modern China, and also expressing the profound contradictions and unremitting search of modern Chinese intellectuals.
