This paper mainly discusses contemporary Chinese disability literature. It not only analyzes but also compares and contrasts literary works featuring disability by both non-disabled and disabled writers. The paper also redefines "disability literature", which is relatively a new genre of literature. Through analysis and comparison, this paper points out the writing characteristics of Wang Xiang-Fu's "Half Man" and Shi Tie-Sheng's "Life as a String." Also, disability literature reflects the life of people from the underclass and the imagination and depiction on the disabled from the society at the time, the main idea of which these two novels both include. Moreover, this paper also discusses the different features between non-disabled and disabled writers in terms of their physical differences and inner desires: non-disabled writers tend to put more emphasis on the disabled's figure depiction and hardship of life in their literature; while, disabled writers focus mainly on the depiction of the disabled's sexual passion and difficulties to face in real life.
