 In Hong Kong she  published some of her greatest work. A novel titled, ''Hulanhe Zhuan'' (Tales of the Hulan River), as well another collection of short stories titled ''Spring in a Small Town''. All of these were inspired from her childhood in Heilongjiang.
 Xiao Hong's Inspiration came from many places. Her Father most likely influenced her rebellious attitude, and her grandfather positively influenced her to keep ties to her hometown. The other men in her life also showed up in her stories. Her former "fiance" may have inspired the character of the woman's husband in "On the Oxcart". She also had a lot of help and support from her two lovers, Xiao Jun and Duanwu Hongliang, both of whom were writers and likely mentored her and joined with her in her writing efforts.
