Shen was intended to describe the provincialists' strong but natural vitality in his West Human literary world, and the free spirit of life, which was harmony of man and nature. With the 'provincialist cultural standing point and life experience, Shen's works on urban life were concerned about the existing state of townspeople as an individual life, which was an introspection about humanity alienation in the process of modern civilization, while such concern on the life identity provides Shen's works with strong modern quality.
