在众多将东方神秘主义和社会缺陷夸大的海外小说中,戴思杰把一个知识分子的中国还原给西方。面对自身在异族文化中的困惑而对故国展开的想像与西方思维模式下的想像中国不一样,那是一个从自身出逃又重新进入的过程。与其他作家作品的对话、自己三部作品之间的对话以及每部作品内部的对话明显借鉴了西方的写作技巧。这种突破了时间与地界的精神上的交流又与文化身份的问题密切相关。 Among numerous overseas novels that exaggerated Eastern mysticism and social imperfections, Dai Sijie restored an intellectual China to the West. In the face of its own confusion in alien cultures, the imagination of the homeland is different from the imagination in the western mode of thinking. That is a process of fleeing and re-entering itself. Dialogue with other writers’ works, dialogue between three of their own works, and dialogue within each work clearly draw on Western writing skills. This breakthrough in the spiritual exchange of time and territory is closely related to the issue of cultural identity.
