作家雲菁1960年代以留學生身份出國，適逢所謂「留學生文學」時期。不同於《文學雜誌》與《現代文學》雜誌的留學生作家，雲菁作品皆由《皇冠》發行，可謂兼具「留學生文學」與「大眾文學」特質。《皇冠》雜誌展現部分早年上海消遣性質的大眾文學風格，在刊登留學生文學部分，不侷限於思鄉苦悶的故事，也有輕鬆小品。雲菁作品可依生活地點，分為「美國本土」與「夏威夷」兩個階段。作品主題也從「思鄉愁」與「孤怨」，擴展到人生「聚散無常」與「夏威夷風情」故事。

Yun Ching Bezine leaving for USA as a student when literature of student immigrants was popular in Taiwan. She continuously had her novels published by the well-known magazine Crown, huang guan. Thus, she was not only an immigrant student writer but also involved in popular literature. Popular literature authors wrote light stories though their lives were difficult in Shanghai in the Teens and Twenties, and the Crown in Taiwan continued publishing light stories. Yun Ching's writings from the sixties to the beginning of eighties can be divided into two periods: American mainland stages and Hawaii stages. Themes of her novels developed from depicting homesickness of Taiwanese abroad students, to a discontented lady living alone in a big mansion, followed by the drifting life of mankind, then the unforgettable Hawaiian passion.
