This chapter contextualizes Lao She’s diasporic experience in London and its influence on Er Ma’s creation. It explores how Lao She’s encounters with British stereotypes and prejudices against Chinese people shaped the novel’s portrayal of two contrasting groups: traditional versus progressive Chinese immigrants, and ignorant/arrogant versus kind/upright British characters. The chapter examines the themes of “Diasporic Chinese” and “Local Britons” as identified in literary criticism, demonstrating how Lao She’s personal experiences in London’s Chinese community provided prototypes for his fictional characters and situations, establishing the foundation for subsequent corpus stylistic analysis of translator functional styles.

摘要

This chapter contextualizes Lao She’s diasporic experience in London and its influence on Er Ma’s creation. It explores how Lao She’s encounters with British stereotypes and prejudices against Chinese people shaped the novel’s portrayal of two contrasting groups: traditional versus progressive Chinese immigrants, and ignorant/arrogant versus kind/upright British characters. The chapter examines the themes of “Diasporic Chinese” and “Local Britons” as identified in literary criticism, demonstrating how Lao She’s personal experiences in London’s Chinese community provided prototypes for his fictional characters and situations, establishing the foundation for subsequent corpus stylistic analysis of translator functional styles.
