The Daniunan Cun series is typical of this period. One of the stories from the collection, "Shengzai yu Guizai de Chuanqi," depicts the futility of the rural people's efforts to resist the merchants. Another, "Tiao Gu Riji," relates Sung's own experiences in the form of a diary.
「打牛湳村」系列則是此時期的代表作，其中〈笙仔與貴仔的傳奇〉反映出農村小人物無力對抗商販的挫敗心情，而以日記形式寫下的〈糶穀日記〉，更是他自己的親身經驗。
