Marriage And Love Writing In New Immigrant Novels

New immigrant literature is a recently rising up literature type, developed from overseas students’ literature since 1970 s. Among many popular writers, Geling Yan, Ling Zhang, Qian Chen, Xiaowen Zeng and Yu Shi are the representative ones. In their works, they commonly focus on their life experience as they were living abroad. Also, they especially pay more attention to people’s’ marriages in their writings.The reason of such a preference concerning marriage and love is not coincidental. Firstly, as those writers, themselves, they were at the age of marriage and love, experiencing the most richfull, and also the most crucial time of their life. They hence depict the marriage and love stories as detailed as possible and represent them to their readers in authenticity. Secondly, the attractiveness of marriage and love stories may never fade out. The domestic readers in China also adorn such relaxing words, compared to the serious literature. The market demand of these fresh and relaxing novels finally lift this new immigrant literature up, as a big success.According to the new immigrant literature, the marriage and love is considered very differently by Chinese people among the main land and the overseas. New Chinese immigrants have to face a lot of difficulties from many aspects, such as suffering nostalgia, culture difference, living pressures, and even communication barriers. So as they were thinking of the matter of marriage and love, they may consider many extra factors compared to those in China. They tend to seek a more stable life, which strongly relies on the person’s legal status and one’s richness. Therefore, new immigrant writers have a more sensitive and special view of overseas marriage. The unique characters and narrative patterns of the marriage and love are strongly indicated in the new immigrant literature.
