Lin Yutang had been working hard to spread Chinese culture in English since he settled abroad in 1936 and all his oversea trans-creation works to some extent re-shaped the Chinese image in the West.This paper makes a contrast study between the stereotyped one in the West and the real Chinese image in Lin Yutang’s trans-creation works and finally points out that Lin Yutang’s adoration for Chinese culture and his passion for establishing culture identity overseas has set a good example for building up a good national image for China today.
