Yu Dafu's novel played a pioneering role in modern Chinese literal world. His experience of studying in Japan, which lasted nearly ten years of time, had great effect on his creation of novels.Here the word "experience" is defined as a synthesis of surface experience and deep subjective experience. Writers in Japan and writers in Europe and US, and Lu Xun brothers show significant differences in thoughts and creation. The experience in Japan affected not only his character development and life choice, but also his literary creation.The self-exposure in his novels reveals his experience in Japan, a resistance of variant, and reflects people's awakening, also self-portrait of the lonely. In nature, Yu Dafu is a typical of Puritan. His "self-exposure" and experience is not entirely consistent, but exaggerated, a simulation of Rousseau's "self-exposure" and Japanese private fiction, causing concern with self-destruction, expressing wishes.In his novels, Yu Da-fu frequently mentions disease, and this is inseparable from the experiences in Japan. At the surface level, Yu Da-fu suffered from disease, studied medicine, and also experienced the tragedy of the weak subjects, which made him understand the physical and mental suffering; in-depth experience, the disease is more than the author's experience of pain, he took it as a proactive choice, therefore, the disease became his normal life and a romantic pursuit of oneself too. Disease is a metaphor, a national slump in the complaint as a "zero than those" complaints, also the road to find a cure.Yu Dafu's novels dilute the plot, focusing on emotion. On one hand, he has been plagued by suffering in Japan; on the other hand, he wrote emotional narratives as a literary conscious pursuit. Emotion is a clue to limit the arrangement of the plot, and also determines the order of the novel.
