In Contemporary Literary,Jin Yong and Daisaku Ikeda are two well-known writers in the literary world of China and Japan. This paper aims at researching on Jin Yong and Daisaku Ikeda's views and descriptions about life, which are having very strong similarities. There are two reasons. Firstly,it dues to the Sino-Japanese cultural exchanges in the two country's history. Secondly, it dues to the two person's similar experiences and close cultural acceptances.Jin Yong and Daisaku Ikeda's similar experiences mainly reflected in three aspects. Firstly, both of them have a misery and suffering life in their boyhood. Secondly, both of them used to have an enterprising career of editing and literature. Thirdly,they are very successful in the social fields. Their close cultural acceptance chiefly displayed in two aspects, the thoughts of the Western humanitarians and the theories of the Oriental humanism. The Oriental humanism which accepted by Jin Yong and Daisaku Ikeda can be divided into three areas: the humanitarian Buddhism, the humanitarian Confucianism, and the humanitarian Monism.Based on the analysis of this paper, Jin Yong and Daisaku Ikeda's works about their views and descriptions about life largely manifest in the following points, there are: Their life view of cherishing life and pursuing freedom; their happiness view of insisting on truth and creating value; their affection view of thinking much of love and kindness, and little of benefits and enmity; and their future view of loving nature and living harmoniously. These four aspects can be concluded as follows: cherishing life, creating value, thinking much of friendship and living harmoniously. Among them, cherishing life is the precondition, creating value is the core. The content of the core- creating value are divided into two aspects: altering humanity and taking pleasure in helping others, and the alteration of humanity is represented in the development of kindness and the restriction the badness, and the conquering of greed in behaviour.
