Eileen Chang had a deep understanding and unique ability to control the narrative time and the relationship between narrative time and human beings. She could make full use of the difference and contrast between the story time and narrative time to achieve her expression in narrative themes of time and life. The narrative time shows several groups of tension ： the tensions be- tween real time and psychological time, between individual time and collective time, and between past, present and future, which makes her works full of charm. And there is free space - time transformation in her narratives. In addition, Eileen Chang＇ s narrative time has four dimensions ： world time, works time, author time and reader time, which had exerted a profound impact on her works.
