Since the concept of narrative ethics was put forward by the scholar Liu Xiaofeng, a research upsurge on it has been set off gradually in China. Two opinions exist in the domestic scholars in their attitude toward narrative ethics: to support it or to oppose it. However it is not to be neglected that the support and promotion of narrative ethics to an excessive degree over exaggerates the role of it.
