- Abstract
Chinese female writers who wrote in Chinese in the late 20th century have a similar theme, that is, for the writing of “Yellow-White Sex and Love” across ethnic groups. This paper takes Yan Geling’s The Lost Daughter of Happiness and Hong Ying’s K: The Art of Love as examples to analyze narrative pattern of “Yellow-White Sex and Love” in these two works from the perspective of post-colonialism, and to tease out power relations and emotional changes in the beginning, development, climax and ending of “Yellow-White” love story. Compared with the writings of “Yellow-White Sex and Love” written by western writers in the past, Chinese female writers have both self-orientalism and rebellion against post-colonial discourse hegemony, reflecting that Chinese female writers use “Yellow-White Sex and Love” as a bridge which communicates Chinese and western culture and the desire for promoting understanding and communication between two heterogeneous cultures.
