Spatial narrative, as a unique literary narrative technique, focuses on advancing the plot and shaping characters through meticulous portrayal of space, providing readers with rich visual and perceptual experiences. This paper examines the spatial narrative utilized in Jin Yucheng’s novel, Flowers of Shanghai. Through an in-depth analysis of the spatial narrative techniques in the novel, this paper asserts that such an exploration has far-reaching consequences in broadening research perspectives and fostering interdisciplinary collaborations between literature and geography. Furthermore, the paper explores the unique aspects of narrative perspective, narrative structure, and narrative time in Flowers of Shanghai, and how these elements perfectly combine with spatial narrative to create a fascinating literary world for readers.
