Su Xuelin is a talented and brilliant writer in Chinese modern literary history as well as a scholar of letters and a fruitful professor. She has scored great and outstanding achievements in the fields of novel, prose, poetry, drama, translation, literary criticism and academic research. Due to some historical reasons, we haven't done much research on her and her works. This thesis tries to sort out all her lifetime experiences and works, review her research findings, analyze the deep meanings and specific features in her novels and prose, and give a balanced view on her literature criticism. In doing that, the author lays Su Xuelin's works and researches on the track of Chinese modem literary history to do comparison and study so as to broaden and open up the research space for Chinese modern literature. By using theories on literature culture and aesthesis, the author tries to outline her works clearly and systematically in order to seek and extract the essence of her thoughts in literary creation. This thesis is expected to put forward a punctilious and reasonable expatiation on the relation between Su Xuelin and Chinese modern literature and attain unique academic value in Chinese modern literary studying.
