查理与华裔美国人的身份认同之路

The identity recognition of Charlie and Chinese Americans

《献给阿尔及侬的花束》中的查理本来弱智,却由于脑科专家的妙手回春,开始了探寻自我的旅程。这与华人在美国这片土地上寻求身份的艰难经历惊人相似。查理与华裔美国人寻我之路的巧妙对比,揭示了两者在寻求身份认同的道路上的异常艰辛与困惑,从而阐述了两者要真正取得平等的权利和身份认同,还需要更加漫长的过程。

Charlie in the novel Flowers For Algernon was born to be mentally retarded,without any so-called identity.However,for a mystical experiment by a remarked brain specialist,he came to be a genius and started his chasing for self.This experience is unexpectedly parallel to that of Chinese Americans.By the ingenious contrast between the road of chasing identity of Charlie and Chinese Americans,this paper tries to reveal the great hardship and confusion in their searching for identity,and therefore concludes that there would be an extremely long way for both of them to achieve equal right with the others in real sense and to obtain the recognition of identity.
