Abstract：Although diseases have long been discussed in rural fiction, but disease narration has never made a huge momentum. In early rural novels, diseases were clouded by “problems”, and disease narration was then more of a subjective and obscure “affliction” narration. From 1990s to the beginning of this centuiy, disease narration began to appear on a large scale in rural novels. Instead of being suppressed, diseases are liberated and clearly presented with names and structures. In the narrative of disease, a large number of cancer images have replaced the images of lung diseases, which is a metaphor for the gradual disappearance of the spiritual dimension of the countryside. Rural writing is approaching its final fragmented subject, and is terminated in the noisy funeral. On the surface, the disease invades the body of the protagonist, but in a deep sense, it is a metaphor for the inherent problem that plagues contemporary rural community. Disease writing is the result of the embarrassing situation in the countryside. When the countryside transforms from an absolute value body into a value complex of relativism and constant anxiety fills the writer's mind, the disease becomes the most appropriate interpretation for the countryside. Looking at rural areas from perspective of disease does not mean that writers have obtained some new inspirations. On the contrary, it may cover up some structural problems and possible innovation elements of rural community.
