My Georgia, published in 2008, is the latest novel by Xi Xi. The novel consists of two parts: the process of decorating the doll house, and the George family’s life in the doll house. The first part happens in the twenty-first century, and the family in the second part lives in eighteenth-century England; the story lies in conjunction of the past and the present. Coupled with the imagination of constructing the house, the novel presents the topic of utopia. In Xi Xi’s works, the topic utopia always emerges in the form of irony, featuring an antinovel stance-which is the resistance to power and the search for freedom. Based on this, Xi Xi praised Mikhail Bakhtin’s theory of the polyphonic novel and got closer to the tradition of novels related to his theory. This paper is divided into three parts. The first part is titled ‘Utopian Novel and Freedom’ and discusses how My Georgia inherits the spirit of dystopia, being against power, and advocating pluralism and freedom from Xi Xi’s early years. The second part is titled ‘Carnival and Dirt: Parodied on the Biography of Giant’ and discusses how Xi Xi applies dirt and elements of carnivalization found in Bakhtin’s Rabelais and His World. The third part, ‘Upside-Down Bantering: Servant and Divorce of the Eighteenth Century’, discusses how Xi Xi applies humorous writing techniques to rewriting a story of eighteenth-century Britain.
