nfluenced by globalization,people tend to have more accesses to different cultural elements,and the victory sign is one of them.Nowadays,the victory sign has become a worldwide gesture,however,during the process of cross -cultural communication,people from different cultures have developed differ-ent meanings of it.As a result,when we use this gesture in intercultural communication,we should be careful enough to avoid the misuses of the victory sign,so that there could be fewer cultural conflicts.This paper uses case analysis to investigate the different meanings of victory sign in different cultures and have found that the victory sign is used more frequently in China than I have imaged and its different meanings in different cultures may cause cultural conflicts.
