Survived In A Gap

As the brightness of American minority literature during the latter half of the 20^th century, Chinese-American literature, especially the cultural identity of Chinese-American, called universal attention from oriental and occidental academia and aroused their consideration newly. Mostly based on representative English works by Chinese-American since the 20^th century, I dissertated about male Chinese-American's identity composing and existing state under the circumstances of inside and outside Chinese colony, which was carried out around both individual characters and group ones and from Chinese community to the external American society, and particularly analyzed their character, orientation and psychological changes with the impact of bi-cultural background. Meanwhile I emphasized cultural feature and time characteristics presented by the Chinese-American authors through characters they created.As for male Chinese-American characters' establishment, I integrated theories such as post-modernism and post-colonialism to attempt to explain its multiple cultural and literary reasons, combine it with historical background of Chinese-American composition and survey the influence upon it by Chinese-American authors' bi-cultural status. On the basis of above-mentioned research, I probed into some unique aspects of Chinese-American literature on representation strategy.I hoped in a comparatively comprehensive way to discuss the male Chinese-American characters in Chinese-American literature works and analyze self and social orientation of Chinese-American with bi-cultural status, so as to provide some suggestions for keeping Chinese culture's independence and integrity in today's world tending to globalization.
