Literature Review
O. Henry (1862～1910), the pen name of William Sydney Porter, is a famous American critical realism writer and is one of most famous short story writers in America. He is also one of the three world’s short stories masters. He was once hailed as the Laurel Prose Writer in Manhattan and the American Modern Short Stories’ Father, as well as the “Guy de Maupassant of United States”.
O. Henry created more than 300 short stories in about ten years of time. He was good at describing American society, especially the lives of the people in New York. Despite his observation and analysis about social and life were not very profound, and some works were relatively shallow, but the hardship of his life made him thick and thin with those lonely and frustrated little potatoes. At the same time, he also used unique artistic ingenuity to demonstrate their mixed feelings well.
O. Henry’s works were rich with original conception and witty language. And the endings always made people feel “reasonable, but also in unexpected”; and also because his description of a large number of people were all rich in life, his works were known as the “the Humorous Encyclopedia of the American Life”. His best short stories, such as A Service of Love, The Cop and the Anthem, The Furnished Room, The Gift of the Magi, The Last Leaf and so on, all could be included in the world’s best short stories. Among them, the works which described the people’s living in Manhattan of New York was the most famous. The streets, the small restaurants, and the atmosphere of the old apartments were rendered by him very realistic, and therefore, he is known as “the Laureate Poet of Manhattan”.
O. Henry is famed for his 'twist' endings, and as such, many of his short stories fall into a formula. That is said, it's a pretty good formula, and if more writers could find themselves a formula of works as well it would be a lot better world to read in. Yet, even the best of formulae lend themselves to needless repetition and predictability. While there are a handful of tales that are great, most are merely solid, for O. Henry lacks a modern feel to his character development. In one tale he can be as realistic as turn of the Twentieth Century fiction can be and in the next he can give merely slight caricatures and corny sight gags.
He is a writer with a unique style, humorous wit, vivid descriptions, and concise text.
Vivid description of things is from the profound understanding and extensive knowledge. He was good at observing things and the accumulation of knowledge. He was good at capturing life ironically. Because O. Henry used the language painted in the wealth to the philosophy of the dramatic scenes from the grasp of the subtle characteristics of the image, the people of flesh and blood were as natural as though it were living.
When people are talking about the writing style of O. Henry, they can reduce his style to two aspects. On the one hand, he describes the underclass people, small stages, and short stories, and he eulogizes the assignable role of the underclass people in the development of the history. On the other hand, he creates the ending of O. Henry. O. Henry's trademark is the surprising ending that each of his stories contains. He sets a story moving in one direction, and just when the reader is convinced of the general direction of the narrative, the story will be completely reversed. And if people look back to the total story, the ending seems logical and plausible. As a “plot-maker”, and designer of incident, he is an amazing genius. No one can do better than him to hold the reader in “suspense”. More than that, the reader scarcely knows that he is suspended until the very close of the story. Just as somebody turns on the lights and the whole tale is revealed in its entirety. The writing style of O, Henry is about underclass people, small stages, and the small stories. O. Henry lives in the bottom of the society in a long time, and he is familiar with the hard life of the underclass people. Therefore, he focuses on the ordinary people in his penetrating writing. In his works, the underclass people has the heart of purify, persistent and beauty, the personalities of benevolence, generosity and kindness, the affection of sincerity, concealing real feelings. However, the common people are more or less isolated, lingered out, and are swallowed by the ruthless society. Compared the unfair phenomenon with the bustling heyday, it reflects the deep humanitarian spirit. Moreover, the writing style of O. Henry is about his twist endings. In most of his works, in the end of the articles, the plot will change beyond people’s thinking. The story from one extreme will come into another extreme. The writing style of twist endings is not only in the short stories, but also in the creation of film scripts widely. Nowadays, in the 21st century, his ending of surprising is unique in the western literature. Chinese and foreign film cultures spread and blend after about one hundred years. The formula of O. Henry comes into being in the scripts of Chinese movies, and it is used in the creation of Chinese films. The Chinese film people accept and inherit the special style from generation to generation, and also they carry forward the style. The formula of O. Henry made an indelible credit for the development and growth of the Chinese film industry. This article explains the concrete manifestation of O. Henry in several Chinese films, and discusses the style of O. Henry in promoting the development of Chinese films.

Abstract
O. Henry is one of the greatest American short story writers of the 20th century. His ending of surprising is unique in the western literature. Most of his works are short and small, concise, and these endings usually come as a surprise, while in fact the unexpected makes sense. The readers are touched and moved deeply for what amazes and impresses them. And also the readers resonate with O. Henry. Chinese and foreign film cultures spread and blend after about one hundred years. The formula of O. Henry comes into being in the scripts of Chinese movies, and it is used in the creation of Chinese films. The Chinese film people accept and inherit the special style from generation to generation, and also they carry forward the style. The formula of O. Henry made an indelible credit for the development and growth of the Chinese film industry. This article explains the concrete and different manifestations of O. Henry in several Chinese films, such as Reign of Assassins, Winners and Sinners, the Story of Qiu Ju and so on. And it discusses the style of O. Henry in promoting the development of Chinese films.

Introduction

He is also one of the three world’s short stories masters. He was once hailed as the Laurel Prose Writer in Manhattan and the American Modern Short Stories’ Father, as well as the “Guy de Maupassant of United States”.
Porter was born a physician’s family, in the town of Greensboro, North Carolina of the United States. Although he suffered a lot, his life was full of legend. From the age of 15, he had been a pharmacy apprentice, and then a cattleman. He accumulated the personal experience of western life from it. Since then, he worked as accountant, land agency clerk, news reporter, bank teller and so on. He even spent time in prison. And he worked as a pharmacist in the prison infirmary. The cause of the first work he created was to buy Christmas gifts for his daughter. However, because of his identity of prisoner, he used the name of the editor of the French Pharmacopoeia as his pseudonym, instead of his real name. After his early release in 1901, he then moved to New York, specializing in writing.
O. Henry created more than 300 short stories in about ten years of time. He was good at describing American society, especially the lives of the people in New York. Despite his observation and analysis about social and life were not very profound, and some works were relatively shallow, but the hardship of his life made him thick and thin with those lonely and frustrated little potatoes. At the same time, he also used unique artistic ingenuity to demonstrate their mixed feelings well.
