Abstract:: Compared with the youth narrative of the sixth generation directors，the youth movie of the newgenerationdirectors presents the characteristics of inheritance，rewriting and innovation，which is a new typeof youth narrative. The new-generation directors take as the object for depiction the struggling“ Sisyphus”who is puzzled by the fading of youth. Correspondingly，their movies show the peculiarity of“ hypotheticalamnesia” and“ alternative transfer” in their depictions of the cruel youth. Furthermore，to a certain extent theytry to respond to the repeated question of“ Why?” asked by the sixth generation directors through focusing onanswering the question of“ How to do it?” in their movies whose plots focus on the unresolved ceremonialresistance. Influenced by such factors as business context，popular culture and international communication，this type of emerging narrative shows the new characteristics of capital symbolization，comedy expression andcross-regional writing.
