About This Novel
This book attempts to interpret from the perspective of transnationalism the evolution of themes and characters in Chinese new immigrant novels since the new century, and analyzes the connection between this change and the changes in the living conditions of new immigrants. Since the new century, with the acceleration of China's reform and opening up process, Chinese immigrants have become more and more deeply involved in the economic and cultural development and changes of their home countries by returning to settle down, starting businesses, and participating in economic, trade and cultural exchanges with their home countries, and have become out-and-out "transnational Chinese" in terms of living conditions. From the perspective of cultural identity, transnational Chinese are not only an important carrier of Chinese culture overseas, but also the constructors of the third culture formed based on the integration and innovation of Eastern and Western cultures. Transnational Chinese have achieved simultaneous embedding in two different societies through continuous cross-border activities as the dominant way of their lives and careers. The living conditions of the "transnational Chinese" group are reflected in the creation of new immigrant novels. This book presents the path and trend of the development of new immigrant novels since the new century through the evolution of new immigrant novels in themes such as return, hometown narrative, historical narrative, grassroots writing, and ecological writing, as well as their shaping of transnational Chinese images.
