论汤亭亭小说《中国佬》中的文化悖论

On Cultural Paradox in Maxine Hong Kingston's China Men

美国华裔作家汤亭亭的作品中常常表现出明显的中国情结,她的小说《中国佬》就是例证。这部小说的主人公在实现"美国梦"后产生的空幻感印证了当代华裔文学叙述中的文化悖论现象,即身份认同的困惑和生存状态的悖反现象。

Maxine Hong Kingston, a Sino-American writer, displays profound Chinese complex in her literary writing. Her novel, China Men, is a case in point. In this novel, although the protagonists have realized their American dreams, they have to endure the sense of being lost and disillusionment. The novel thus confirms the cultural paradox of identity confusion and existence dilemma.
