Since the 1990s,American-Chinese writers have been attempting to break the stereotype of Chinese imposed by American mainstream and to show the true self instead.They have also been express-ing their appeals of the harmonious relationship between races and its possibilities of realization.Their works reveal inter-ethnicity,focusing on the ethnic fusion instead of the ethnicity,figuring new characters who can meet the multiracial aesthetic expectations.
