Time witnessed the whole process of a face from birth to decay.This paper took the timeliness carried by face and its narrative meaning as the research objects, took wrinkles, scars, portraits of the deceased and modification techniques as examples, revealed the relationship between face and time, and discussed the unique narrative power of face in the dimension of time: reconstructing time.The accumulation of wrinkles showed the graphical process of time; scars on the face have the clear directionality and story; the portraits of the deceased bear the end of personal time and the continuation of emotion. At present, people modify the faces in the photos with the help of modification techniques, which weakens or accentuates the time traces of the faces, creating an abnormal time effects and presenting the alienated state of the narrative text. Face is an obvious and intuitive reflection of time in human beings. In a sense, the narrative power of face lies in the reconstruction of time.
