Abstract: Shen Congwen and Wang Zengqi are both obsessed with stories of country love. The reason why their names are mentioned at the same time in the history of modern and contemporary Chinese literature is not only that the two have the teacher-student relationship and have similar creative aims, but also that their works are different from each other in theme selection, characterization and lyrical style, showing different creative styles and both have achieved brilliant achievements. The paper will discuss from three aspects: theme selection, character description and expression mode. Studying these similarities and differences is due to the vitality contained in their writing style, which still has the function of attracting and enlightening today's readers and authors, and is of academic significance.
