To make the self-reflection of foundation from the stories text for children, that the life-and-death subjects still have many taboos to investigate the possibilities of children’ reading life-and-death stories. The stories for children play roles as medium under the attitudes of preparation in advance to talk with children about the life-and-death and supply them that they have never experienced before to give them the various thinking paths to treat their life. These stories not only express the life-and-death concepts but also help the child readers facing the same death problems to release the emotion of tenseness and sorrow. With the story to let problems explored, children’story become the most strong communication medium. 　　Furthermore, writer tries to adopt the open questions regarding the life-and death-from the book of “Being and Time” written by Heidegger as the paths to look into the Being issues existed in the child’s stories. The purpose wants to find out the existential status in the stories for children , with the its interesting, the roles playing with and the details rises and falls, leading the child to touch the Being world. Moreover, with using this development background afterward, it can be as explanation basis for the follow-up research in the stories for children. 　　To understand is first to be involved in a three-way relation of the aspects including author, the reader and the text. In the realistic environment, because the child is a non-independent reader and being a lot of adults participated among them; the fun from reading by child and the ability for story of self interpretation is often deprived. 　　The Hermeneutics basis arised by Gadamer is no longer to be moving on by a process. In the Hermeneutic activities, what it needed is the mutual exercise and dialogue between the text and the reader. With the openness attitude as a beginning, it makes the child to be able to have the biggest one of decision-making power to be free from the adult or accompanies’ limits. Also let the child to melt into the story reading activities with his instinct of the game. 　　What this study discussed is the stories for children in present of the life-and-death and explained the interpretation conditions between child and the stories for children in interpretation activities. Under the existed interpretation standpoints, the child break through himself by stories development, not only emerges the ego but also bring himself to the upper grade. However, to contain the explanation standpoint of reading environment which needs us to work hard together. This study is started from school, family, society and the life-and death-education units to put forward relative suggestions.
