East Of Sunrise West Of The Rain, The Tao Is Relentless, But Affectionate

In this paper,I want to touch Yan Geling's hidden motive behind her works,by the theory of "Orientalism",and through her novels,essays and interviews interpreting the texts of each other.I attempt to achieve this goal through the existing text,from her personal experience and identity,in the cross-cultural context.And then,I want to find the reason why her works is concernd and admired both at home and abroad.The introduction part describles her overall creation process and made a division,mainly about the stage of study and the approach to the study and innovation of this paper.Chapterâ… , I uses the theory of "marginal people" to identity Yan Geling's position:multiple edge and implied center.As a combination of edge and mainstream,Yan Geling's works are not only the focus of the public,but also true portrayal of their edge life.The marginal identity and the public concern about the intensity reflected in her at the same time.And these expand her and her works's role of integration on both sides - to provide a platform to communicate and recognize for the Orient and Occident.Chapterâ…¡of the departure of the text,I want to show a cross-cultural context expressing the contradictions and collision between Chinese culture and foreign cultures,and all kinds of dislocation in the process between Orient and Occident.As a Chinese living in the United States,Yan Geling doesn't look these wrong with unchanging view,but actively looking for the the bridge between Oriental and Occidental cultures.In the context of globalization,this is also the reflect of the fact that the orient and Occident communicate and understand each other.Chapterâ…¢,I deeply discuss the Oriental and Occidental interactive process in Yan Geling's works,by the "Orientalism",and I conclud on this basis:because of the constraint of Yan Geling's personal identity and situation,her works cater to Western ideologies and thinking,consciously or unconsciously,showing the characteristics of self-Orientalizing.Chapterâ…£,with "Orientalism",I ponder over the unique metaphor between men and women in the cross-cultural context,excavate the motives behind the "female" image,basing on the the world of men and women in her works.I want to reveale the process of remodeling the Orientalization,through observing sorts of love story in her fictions.In other words,Yan Geling doesn't pander to oversea readers or ignore the national self-esteem,her creative process has find a fulcrum,at which balances between the two above,in a matter of fact.Living in a foreign country,the power both urgency of identity and own conduct also exert the same force on her.Her works show the paradox of catering the Occident and persisting to the Orient in a significant or implicit way,which is the difficulty in the communication between Orient and Occident,and which possibly is the reason why her works at home and abroad are widely concerned and respected.
