Chen Chunsheng was a translator of Aesop-related, like as "DongFangYiShuo" and "YiShuoYiPing", and was one of the famous scholars in the newspaper world at that time. But until now, there is little research on Chen Chunsheng and his writings. This paper investigates newspaper articles and materials such as social activities at that time, describes the career of a person from two perspectives: the life of Cheng Chunsheng and his writings. He founded an orphanage, promoting the relationship between missionaries and Christianity, the newspaper business. And participated in the early Chinese film business and was active in a wide range as a scenario writer. Especially, He worked for a long time in The Chinese Christian Intelligencer. There are many literary works, but most of them are collaborated with missionaries. Through studying Chen Chunsheng's life and writings, I would like to examine the ideal form of the literary figures of the late Qing Dynasty and the characteristics of the times, "Western leaning spreading to the East".
