A Study of Chinese Images in Chinese-American Literature ——The Joy Luck Club as an Example

As the new era is changing dramatically, the presentation of Chinese image in literary works is one of the ways for the people of China to understand the international perspective. This paper takes the image of China portrayed in writer Amy Tan's work The Joy Luck Club as the main object of discussion, briefly describes the portrayal of Chinese image, and provides some references for people how to set up Chinese images and how to confirm their our identity in the context of the new era.
