Through text studying, analyzing and inducing, the author makes researches on the influence of war experience and genuine expressions of the true, the good and the beautiful.This paper consists of two chapters. In the first chapter, the author emphasizes the relation between Xie's war experience and her features of battlefield novels writing. Xie's 18 years of war experience with a pen at hand gives her an extraordinary, feminine feeling of life. (1). Her real experience of war from all perspectives; (2). Her emotional responses to real scenes of war and her consistent patriotic passion. (3). Experience of real battlefield as a female and her unique revelation of war.In the second chapter, the author explores the relation between war experience and the true, the good and the beautiful and her genuine expressions of the later. (1). Xie's purposeless involvements of war helped her realize her genuine expressions of the true, the good and the beautiful of war. (2). Revelation the true blood-shedding, sacrificial nature of war through direct and indirect description of real war. (3). Pursuit of spiritual beauty of characters in the process of fighting against odds under important situations.This paper concludes that Xie Bing-ying unintentionally realized some life experience, which is very precious to her writing. There are two eras in literature: one is political; the other is literary. Xie's battle field works is a fairly perfect combination of social value and artistic value.
