ABSTRACT

Choi Inhun, a South Korean writer, wrote the novel "Square" in 1960. Nie Hualing, a USA citizen of Chinese origin, wrote the novel "Sang Qing And Tao Hong" separately in 1971. Although there are exterior differences in the writing age, the political background, the writer habitude, the writing style, these two novels have interior and spiritual interlink. As a result of the war and the division of ideology, the two dramatis personae has the same fate—homeless in the tragedy of family, country and politics, living in pretty pass-- “running away”, “being stranded” and “drifting”. With the effort of thinking hard and seeking hard, both of them againsted the desperation and vanity by the way of “existentialism”. By the way of comparing the intercommunity and otherness of the two novels, the thesis shows the common political demand within Chinese nationality and South Korean nationality. The two novels had tran-national and tran-Cultural human universal significance, when expressing the thinking and seeking to harmonious living surround.
