中華人民共和國建國之初的三十年，即毛澤東執政的「十七年」（1949-1966）與「文革十年」（1966-1976），中國社會發生了翻天覆地的變化。關於這段史實的詮釋，本文擬突破宏偉、統一、線性歷史論述的傳統架構，轉而注意、考掘被相對忽視、貶抑的新中國庶民生活史料，進而揭露大時代動盪中，來自小民百姓的心聲和遭遇。因此，抉取全程參與新中國建國三十年各種運動的作家汪曾祺（1920-1997）的小說文本，爬梳隱匿在黨國大歷史縫隙中的小人物、小歷史的蛛絲馬跡，具體呈顯存在於官方的歷史文本與民間的文學文本對於歷史敘事的無法避免的差異，因為歷史從來不會只有一個版本。此外，透過「衰年變法」的汪曾祺的新中國小說的文學展演，本文亦將揭示歷來鮮少受到研究者關注的「非典型」的汪曾祺風格。

An earth-shaking change happens to the Chinese society, at the early thirty years of the establishment of People’s Republic of China, which is the period of Mao, Ze-Dong as the chairman of the PRC (1949-1966) and Cultural Revolution (1966-1976). The interpretation of the historical period emphasizes on the ignored, and devalued common people’s daily events to discover their voices and incurrence, instead of the grand, unifying, systematic, and historical discourse of the traditional structure. Therefore, the texts are from Wang, Tzeng-Chi’s works from 1920 to 1997, who has joined every movement in the thirty years. Under the texts, nobody and small events, which are hidden behind, are presented to show the unavoidable difference of official documents and non-official documents appearing in the society. Thus, there are various about history. Moreover, by the “Later Year Innovation”, Wang, Tzeng-Chi presents a non-typical style in the Chinese novels in the New Time.
