While criticism of city people who reflect the various ethnic evil; on the other hand, he strongly beautifies the unaffected and infected West Hunan natural living by the urban civilization. However, in Shen Cong-wen's works, in fact, the two civilizations is not just simply exist as two poles of the conflict, but the mutual integration of two worlds. The cities have both the civilized moral decay and the traditional heritage of primitive civilization. Meanwhile, although there are ancient beauty of human nature in the western Hunan, there also reflects the backwardness and ignorance of primitive lifestyle of people. They came to the city with a beautiful vision of the modern world, but again they return to their rural world in the memory after a series of setbacks and failures.
