She makes her novels peculiarly fascinating by her care and love for nature, respect for life and praise for humanity. The author carries out a multidimensional analysis of the works of Chi Zijian and looks deeper into the inner side of them from the perspective of thematology. The paper consists of four parts in all.In the first part, the author analyzes the descriptions about people's sufferings in the novels in terms of physical, psychological and human aspects step by step.

Her articles appear more profound between human and soul and between life and death, serving as a foil to the hardship of life.In the last part, the author analyzes the expression of love and transcendence in Chi's novels. Love is expressed in three forms: love (between man and woman); affection between family members; friendship.
