Abstract: Xuedou by Guizhou writer Wang Hua focuses on the ecological disaster behind industrialization. The work tells the tragic life of people in Qiaoxi Village after ecological destruction. Modernization is the beginning of the fable of rural misery. Environmental deterioration leads to the reproductive crisis in Qiaoxi Village. The distortion and alienation of women imply the suffering and pain of people from ecological imbalance. For these realistic dilemmas, the work provides a solution, that is, the awakening of ecological consciousness and the exploration of spiritual home.

Keywords: Xuedou; ecological disaster; reproductive crisis; ecological consciousness; the spiritual home
