Network literature has gone through 20 years in China. Although it has made great progress, Chinese network literature is also moving towards the imprisonment step by step. On the whole, it is far from fulfilling people’s expectations. In a sense, most of the current mature network literature works can be regarded as the modern rehearsal of popular literature, which ultimately makes its revolutionary potential disappear, and become the pain in the heart of Chinese contemporary literature. However, dialectically looking at network literature, we should also pay attention to the gradual development of selfliterature relying on Wemedia or one’s own cyberspace, and the ultimate possibility of network literature predicted by this fact. To a certain extent, selfliterature can be regarded as the most common and final source of strength of Chinese network literature.
