Abstract

This paper mainly takes the tweets of the WeChat official account “True Story Project” from 2016 to 2019 as a case, and explores the current development status of the new cultural form of non-fiction writing with content analysis and narrative theory. The research results show that narrative subjects of non-fiction writing tend to be popular, and the texts are mainly narrated by themselves, most of which are narrated by internal focalization. The theme selection has the characteristics of multiple groups and multiple fields. It is good at seeing the big from the small and reflecting the social reality and changes of the times with individual experience, in the form of depiction and single narration. In terms of narrative strategy, the four characteristics of detail description, use of dialogue, popular language, and news storytelling are more obvious.
