During Korea’s industrialization period and China’s Reform and Opening-up, both countries’ economy developed rapidly. However, under the shadow of the economic development, Korea produced a large number of wandering laborers who were deprived of their hometowns, while China witnessed the emergence of migrant workers without a sense of identity and the expansion of materialism. This paper focuses on Hwang Seok-young and Chen Yingsong's Leave home novel which embody the theme of industrialization and Reform and Opening-up, and analyzes the characters and the hometown image in their works. The main works studied in this paper are “The Road to Sampo”, “A Strange Land”, “The Dream of Strong man” and “A lucky dream” by Hwang Seok-young and “Taiping Dog”, “Masiling Murder” and “Live Like the White Cloud” by Chen Yingsong.

However, this paper mainly examines the differences of the loss of hometown in these two writers’ novels. The hometown in Hwang’s works is a hometown lost because of the development, which is a romantic ideal place the characters want to return and a way out of the industrialization. The hometown in Chen’s works is a hometown to escape in order to survive, to get rid of poverty and to seek a better future, which the migrant workers have left to pursue the sense of stability and security in the Reform and Opening-up.
