Nowadays, China highly values the importance of eco-culture. Promoting quality ecological science writings for the general reader is instrumental for the development of eco-culture. In this paper, Village Kids on Wild Trails and others works by Xu Renxiu, the ecological explorer from Taiwan, are analyzed, focusing on his three writing features. First, bearing the childhood aspiration and dreams, he travelled for about ten years among the mountains and rivers to collect rich materials for his writing; Second, he passes through an idea of integrating pictures and words naturally and vividly to show the artistic beauty of the natural world, and develops an aesthetic style of his own; Third, he takes active attempts to be close to children by flexibly using various ways of expressions to express the charm of natural ecological beauty. These features of Xu Renxiu's works provide new ideas and inspirations for eco-science writings in China.
