Abstract

According to postmodernism, internet literature is originated on a virtual space which offers free-speech area for Chinese authors to express their opinions toward social topics more than any original literature field. Due to the Chinese censorship policy, time-travel novel becomes a parody space in order to express opinions against the government’s policy. The popularity of the novel-form text leverages its value and develop to transmedia; from novel to film or series adaptation. The Xingming Shiye series are the example to present how film adaptation art negotiate with censorship policy.
