In the 1980s and 1990s, different kinds of literary thoughts swarmed into China. Hong Ying is a very famous writer pullulating in this period and her novels are greatly affected by the foreign literature, especially those written by Mishima Yukio, a Japanese writer of aestheticism. The literary creation of the homosexuality theme by Mishima Yukio evidently exerted an influence upon Hong Ying's early novels. They get similar aesthetics pursuit, theme choices, literature types and creation styles, but different artistic features at the same time. As for the theme choice of the novel, both of them have the same partiality for love themes, and share high consistency in the description of deformity love, especially the homosexual love. Concerning the development of the literature types, they are provided with common ground on the creation of autobiography novels, break with the tradition that writers don't write the autobiography until they are old and establish the position in the history of literature based on the success of their autobiographies respectively. However, Hong Ying adopts a particular dual-visual- angle mode for narration in her autobiography novels. In terms of the creation style, Hong Ying and Mishima Yukio are both affected by thoughts of romanticism and decadence, which result in decadent spirits in their elegant and poetic narrations. As regards the aesthetics pursuit, they are both interested in living and death, love and sex, life and destiny and so on, and reveal the truth of the human nature in excessive surviving environment. Based on the comparative study on the novels of Hong Ying and Mishima Yukio, the diversification of the creation is approved to be meaningful. Hong Ying and Mishima Yukio are both very famous in foreign countries, got miserable memories of childhood and their own complexes, and are greatly disputed writers as well. Their extremely personal styles of narrative arts dramatically enrich the treasure-house of the world literature.
