ABSTRACT
This chapter addresses three follow-up questions about the historiography of cyber literary criticism. The first question is about the lack of a safe historical distance and theoretical tools to approach cyber literature, which nevertheless allows historians to look closely and grasp the vivid events. The second question asks what has changed and what remains the same for cyber literary criticism, and the author affirms that while the digital age requires a more flexible attitude, the humanist values of literature are unchangeable. The third question concerns historiography’s choices between old and new materials, which the author answers by listing recent research findings that attest to the development of China’s cyber literary criticism.
