Abstract

Peter Hessler, Chinese name He Wei, has been praised as one of the most thoughtful western writers concerned about modern China by the Wall Street Journal. In the more than ten years of his life in China, he traveled more than half of China. With the elegance of the traveler, he described the Great Wall with image symbol, and the survival predicament of the other in the third space. He has written the family ethics of ordinary people with the attitude of a resident, and the importance of education in China. To some extent, He Wei has certain western ideological bias and utopian imagination upon China, but he has broken through the stereotyped impression of the Chinese image in western literary works, showing a new attitude.
