Overseas Students' Literature and New Immigrant Literature

Colors are definitely written. "Let's look at the death of Bai Xianyong in Chicago. Bai Xianyong's mother died when he was young. After his mother was buried, he visited the grave for 40 days in accordance with Islamic rituals. On the 4th1day, he flew to America to study. As a graduate student studying in the United States, "I" in Death in Chicago is the envy of others. After learning the bad news of my mother's death, I seemed indifferent, but after receiving the graduation notice, I felt unspeakable sadness: "I" studied in Chicago for six years, but I only knew a research room and a basement, and I was still a newcomer walking on the streets of Chicago. This "root-seeking" affection makes people feel deep sympathy for foreign students' literary writers.

New immigrant writers go overseas from China with the dream of getting overseas green cards and taking root overseas. They clearly know that their roots are in China, and at the same time, they take the initiative to learn western culture and integrate it. But they have another rootless confusion. With the development of China in recent decades, the living environment of new immigrants has been greatly improved, and they have the opportunity to develop in different social classes and different fields. This makes the personal experiences of new immigrants have different life experiences: on the one hand, some of them have improved their social status and started to contact the upper classes of western society; On the other hand, their experience in the new social class triggered their thinking about the political, economic and cultural collision between the East and the West. Let's take a look at China women in Manhattan. Zhou Li said in her works: "When I was on the mainland ... I lived like a' spiritual aristocrat' ... because we came from China! ..... We don't like the same soap operas ... We won't let our children 14 get pregnant, and we won't let our children engage in homosexuality, drug abuse and alcoholism ... These are all part of the American way of life.
