摘　　要：The time-travel genre of Chinese Internet literature combines old mythological motifs with contemporary science fiction approaches to create a narrative line in which the protagonist travels through time, undergoes a series of trials, discovers new worlds, and realizes an idealized life. Borrowing Foucault＇s theory of utopian bodies and heterotopias and taking Tianxia Guiyuan＇s female-oriented Intemet novel Empress Fuyao as its exemplary case, this study analyzes how time-travel fiction uses time travel in order to image a ＂utopia＂ and what kind of ＂new world＂ is projected by this utopia, In the process, this paper will simultaneously examine the relationship between utopia and twenty-first century China＇s new media literature.The time-travel genre of Chinese Internet literature combines old mythological motifs with contemporary science fiction approaches to create a narrative line in which the protagonist travels through time, undergoes a series of trials, discovers new worlds, and realizes an idealized life.
