Yuan Jinmei’s novels are unique in North American Chinese literature because of their academic ideological and artistic characteristics.This paper mainly conducts an in-depth analysis of Yuan Jinmei’s novels in the context of heterogeneous culture in terms of home and country memory,cultural reflection and scholarly narrative art.In her novels,Yuan Jinmei often looks down on Chinese history and culture,and criticizes the inferiority of the people.She depicts the madness,cruelty,and damage to human nature of war from two spatial dimensions,international and domestic.On the one hand,she ruthlessly criticizes the hierarchy and cultural customs based on Confucian ethics,on the other hand,she shows the conflict between Chinese and Western cultures from the perspective of difference,and proposes the possibility of cultural integration,ultimately realizing the harmony and beauty of human nature.In the reflection of history and culture,Yuan Jinmei continued the tradition of the May Fourth Enlightenment,and emphatically criticized the numbness and spiritual servility of the national thought.Yuan Jinmei’s novels have distinct scholarly characteristics.In terms of creative thinking,she is good at conveying philosophical thinking through interventional narratives and guiding readers to accept preset concepts;in terms of expression,she flexibly uses knowledge of history,philosophy,biology,and psychology to write crossborder writing,showing the depth and breadth of thinking in the rigorous style of writing and rich knowledge;on the other hand,she opens with "questions" in her creations,uses the entire text as the answer sheet,analyzes and solves problems,and presents a logical argumentation style.text structure.In addition,Yuan Jinmei’s humorous satirical art neutralizes the sharpness of criticism and the dullness of theoretical knowledge in the novel.It is interesting to read and presents the aesthetic charm of scholar’s novels.
