this article examines the influence of the iconic work of the Russian writer Viktor Astafyev "The King Fish" on the work of the modern Chinese writer Chi Zijian. Through the analysis of three aspects – narrative style, moral idealism and ecological philosophy – it is revealed how Chi Zijian inherits and creatively reworks the traditions of V. Astafiev in confessional narration, moral reconstruction of rural prose and philosophical understanding of nature. The study shows that Chi Zijian's works integrate creative ideas through localization. Astafieva enters the cultural context of a northeastern Chinese village, criticizing the alienation of modernity and exploring the deep relationship between man and nature, morality and civilization. This cross-cultural exchange represents not only the borrowing of artistic techniques, but also the resonance of literary spirit and aesthetic aspirations.
