By examining a selection of early short stories by the contemporary mainland Chinese author Ge Fei, this paper traces the writer`s literary emplotment of personal, quotidian history on the one hand, and national, state history on the other. First, the paper explores how h/History initially “shadows” the narratives in “The Lost Boat” and “New Year`s Eve”, before finally stepping more fully into the action in “The Encounter” and “Prognostication Chart”. It is argued that the accumulative demands of constantly re-imagining and critically engaging with personal history and State History in literature eventually weighed too heavily upon Ge Fei`s early creative endeavours, foreclosing his prior more challenging narratives in favor of stories that have more closely followed official State records.
