Shi Tie-sheng is one of the most unique exsitence in Chinese contemporary literary circles, his special life experiences create his unique style of writing. Physical disabilities bring him into the writing palace and thus began his "the disable " writing career. In his early works, exploring the dual difficulties in both physically and mentally for disable people was Shi's mainly focus and there is an apparent sign of "Disability complex". Undeniably, "Disability complex" derives from his body disability, though "a metaphor for disease" is also an important reason for its formation. Those days, satan's curses of despair and fatalism enveloped in his head and devoloped language of grief and indignation style. Fortunately, Shi Tie-sheng had not been trapped in the "disabled" misery long, he transcended himself in dilemma and ultimately turned from a "disabled people" to people who found "human's disabilities". This is a vital change of world view and also a self-transcendence in literary creation for him. In this transition process, the religious spirit gave him strength and courage to face the enormous difficulties of life and an insight into the meaning which plight renders human being. In the outlooking of "this side"(live) of the "other side"(death) of life, Shi Tie-sheng recognized life's significance does not lie in the realization of "purposes"but rather the ability to enjoy the splendor and richness of life "process".In order to express freely and better the confusion deep in his heart, the poetic memory and dreams being repressed by people themselves and explore the multi-possibilites in life, as well as a varitety of human desires, Shi Tie-sheng gradually abandoned the previous writing style, and turned into a new kind of writing style, which is called "heart and soul" (xinhun) writing. His novel has a text-broken, cross-style aesthetic characteristic, which means he has completed his second leap in artistic creation.
