Abstract：Shi Tuo is an eminent representative of Chinese rural literature writers, an active explorer and practitioner of poetic fiction writing of the twentieth Century. He upholds creative personality, carries forward national literature tradition and adores a serious attitude and integrity in writing, which not only brings about excellent quality and vivid literary landscape for literature history, and provides rich intellectual resources and a new writing dimension for contemporary literature creation, which further serves a role model for the development of national literature. However, due to Shi Tuo's poor educational background, insufficient life experiences, peasant's thinking manner and emotion, there are some limits in his urban and rural novels.
