Lin Shuhua (林淑華) is best known as the author of "Shengsilian (生死恋)" (1948). It is an autobiographical work by Lin and was serialized in the magazine "Kangli Monthly" at the end of the 1940s and was quite popular at that time. This article considers the creative activity of Lin Shuhua in relation to the magazine "Kangli Monthly" and its readers. In "Kangli Monthly", Lin Shuhua first appeared as a contributor, then as the author of "Shengsilian", and then as the host of "Kangli Xinxiang (伉儷信箱)", a column of readers' contributions, in which she sincerely answered the serious problems of life of the readers. This mutual relationship with readers also influenced Lin's creative activities. In the "Shengsilian" and "Zhufu zhi you (主婦之友)" she uses for example a letter style and a "call to someone", which are common in "Kangli Monthly," and this gave them a structure that facilitated the sympathy of readers.
