Abstract: This interdisciplinary study highlights how literature - as a societal mirror- expresses some societal phenomena among which is social mobility that is tackled in “Folded Beijing” by Hao Jingfang, the 2016 “Hugo” Award winner, to be the first Asian female writer to receive this award, internationally known as the Science Fiction Nobel. Through combining fiction with reality, the writer presented social mobility as a significant social phenomenon. In her study, the researcher used the descriptive approach of content analysis, and concluded that the downward social mobility is highly unlikely among the affluent upper class which enjoys the best educational level and highest technology. While the incidence of upward mobility is more likely to occur in the middle class as a result of a number of incentives, when compared to the lower class which struggles for the basic daily needs, and doesn’t have the luxury of time to contemplate future aspirations.
