She has been writing novels and children’s literature, and she is also the editor of the Monthly Women Magazine as well as the host of television program“Yi Wen Ye Tan”. Her travel literature Hai Tian You Zong that was first published in 1966 and was reprinted at least 17 times. This paper focuses on the literary creations, translation and painting activities during the period when she stayed in Thailand(May 1969-July 1971)and Singapore(August 1971-July 1977), together with her other writings on Nanyang, to provide a more comprehensive understanding of the writer in the academics. Research results suggest that the 8 years when Zhong Mei Yin stayed in Nanyang was a period of extension and attainment in her creative career. Not only did she find a religion, she also commended and identified with the local conditions of Nanyang. She actively learned foreign languages and engaged in translation work which she has excelled in. Her interest in painting that she devel-oped since young, finally got into practice after she followed Singapore painter Chen Wen Xi, shaping her individual art style of combining the East and West forms.
