Disasters are an inevitable part of human destiny. From the very beginning of humanity, disasters have posed significant challenges to human survival and progress. The history of human development is essentially a history of continuous resistance against various calamities. Literature, being a reflection of humanity, naturally focuses on issues of human survival, capturing the struggle between humans and natural disasters. Literature has always been present in the face of disasters, which is a testament to its inherent and conscious role. Historically, both the Arab people, who primarily lived a nomadic lifestyle in harsh environments, and the Chinese people, who were mainly engaged in agricultural production, have faced numerous natural disasters. Both cultures have maintained a close relationship with their natural environments and conditions. Disaster documentary literature records human encounters with calamities, explores the causes of disasters, and highlights the experiences of those affected. This genre helps individuals learn how to confront disasters and enhance their self-rescue capabilities. Despite its significant research value, disaster documentary literature has not received adequate scholarly attention. This paper aims to compare the similarities and differences between Chinese and Arab “disaster documentary literature” through four sections. The first section introduces the concept and definition of “disaster documentary literature.” The second section discusses the origin, development, and current state of Chinese “disaster documentary literature,” providing examples of key works. The third section covers the emergence, development, and current state of Arab “disaster documentary literature,” with representative examples. The fourth section summarizes the similarities and differences between Chinese and Arab “disaster documentary literature.”
