After the immigrating overseas, YGL and HY created lots of literature works about the topics of China mainlands. This thesis holds the points that, these kind of works comes from the writers' foreign living environments and personal survival status, bases on personal living experience and the accumulation of arts inspiration, with strong initiative attitudes and unique personal ways to experience and master history, through literature fabrication and imagination to write personalized historical narrative stories. The thesis mainly focuses on the reasons, methods, significances and limitations in writing historical narrations for the two Chinese Overseas writers under the foreign artcultures.Overseas experiences and space differences make them acquire broad cultural vision and opened cultural minds. Concerning and examining native history,reality and traditional culture are their similarities. Although there are some similarities between their historical narrations, they also have their own characteristics and personalities, which makes their respective historical narrations formed different patterns, i.e. rethinking historical culture pattern and women desireful words with history narrative pattern. The former one deems typical history as an environment of investigating humanity and culture, also this pattern reflect on the humanity and retrospect history with sober attitude and aesthetic ways. The latter regards history as a writing environment for women. The historical narrative stories of HY are based on women' s personalized feelings. This kinds of feelings also reflected the writer' s imagination and thoughts onnative history.For overseas authors, writing Chinese narrative stories is a way of missing and cherishing the native country, also a kind of cultural identity to Chinese culture and a strategy of opposing the aphasia in the foreign environment. For them, history not only means personal memories, homesickness and inheritance of Chinese blood, but also reflects their responsibility and strong sense of missions. However, in the foreign living environments, as an marginal cultural community, in order to make a voice and win the equal status and rights with the superior cultural community, their great efforts of showing culture differences still caught "the other' s curious eyes. Even though they themselves also doubt and wave during the opposing and flattery, sometimes they seem take the advantage of history intentionally or unintentionally.
