With the advent of industrialization, South Korea and China has get rid of poverty and achieved rapid economic growth. However, economic growth has also produced lots of social problems. For example, the government aimed to achieve urbanization, industrialization, and economic growth, however, the government only cared about economic growth, and the distribution policy was ignored. This sacrificed the interests of migrant workers in cities. Although the livelihood of the people has improved greatly, but the caused the differentiation of class and expand the gap between the rich and the poor and the money worship is prevalent. Under this circumstances, there has been a wave of immigrants entering the city from rural areas, with Korea and China no exception. The income gap between urban and rural areas has widened due to the government's low grain and low wage policies, forcing the farmers to leave the countryside to the city or on their own terms. Even though they have moved to cities, they had to work on the 3D industries that the urban population has turned away due to the economic and educational level differences. They became the objects that are treated differently and despised by urban people. In particular, Women are more vulnerable to sexual harassment and sexual assault, so Seon-jak Jo and Mo Yan focused on the phenomenon of the commodification of women and wrote <Yeong-ja in Her Prime> and <Red woods> that reflected the darkness of society. From the perspective of migration, this paper aims to analyze <Yeong-jain Her Prime> and <Red woods>, written by Seon-jak Jo and Mo Yan who represents the era of industrialization in the 1970s. This paper aims to look at the lives of female migrant workers and explain why they have been forced to live a hard life. Key words: Industrialization, Migration, Female, Workers, Life
