AB - This paper takes Han Zhongji's short story, Jin Youzhen's "Showy Rain" and Rou Shi's "Mother of Slaves" as the objects, and compares the rural reality and family tragedy characters in the two works to analyze the structure of the two stories under similar times, and at the same time, they have similarities and differences. I hope to provide a new perspective to interpret the two works through further analysis. There are not many studies comparing "Showy Rain" between South Korea and China and "Mother of Slaves" in Rou Shi. Jin Youzhen and Rou Shi objectively reflected the rural reality of South Korea and China in the 1930s through their works. And the two works, as the representatives of "engage in prostitution" novels, have striking similarities, so the author believes that the two works have full comparative value. And interestingly, the national conditions of Korea and China at that time determined that the two works could not be completely similar, which further affected the protagonists in the two works to adopt different attitudes and methods when dealing with practical problems. The common theme of "Showy Rain" and "Mother of Slaves" is "engage in prostitution". However, the problem is that engage in prostitution is not the choice of wives, but forced to do so by the violence of their husbands. Then, the husband's behavior is obviously contrary to common sense and ethics. However, this was the last means of survival for the poor farmers in Korea and China at that time. That is, the wife has become the only means and method for the husband to escape from reality.
