The love and partnership between a husband and a wife during a tribulation period is the theme of both the novels "A Husband" (by Shen Tsung-wen) and "The Remarried Wife" (by Lou Shu). The stories show the true feelings and characters of little people, who are surrounded by miseries and limited due to the complexity of human nature. These two novels from the 1930s seem to base themselves on a specific ideology and try just to expose the misfortune of the society. However, a deeper look reveals the implicit emphasis on the love and friendship between men and women throughout both of them. In this way they can be considered as two different songs with the same melody. As a male writer Shen discribed the ideal wife type in his work; on the contrary, Lou, a female writer, gaved the sorrowfulness of a man who has traded his wife a unconventional meaning. Otherwise, the study of the backgrounds of these two writers provide further evidence that a literary work can seldom be isolated from the ideals and experiences of its own creator.
