Abstract
To examine the word-image intertextuality in the illustrated novels have become a new approach in literary studies, through which the relationship between illustrations and the novel itself is investigated. Mo Yan's novel Big Breasts and Wide Hips has been published with 24 pencil illustrations in 2003, and it can be seen that these illustrations are not randomly painted and inserted into the novel. The paper examines the dialogue and intertextuality between the text and the illustrations and analyzes the narrative modes of images and language.
