Abstract:
Through a discussion of overseas diasporic writers, Ha Jin’s new essay collection The Writer as Migrant points out that a migrant writer should be a spokesman for his native country, in order to form a writing style of his own in an adopted language, the writer should take in the quintessence from his native culture and bind it together in his own writing, and that he should construct a spiritual home away from his native one. Examining Ha Jin’s writing, one may find that almost all of his works have ‘Home’ theme included, which is for sure caused by his immigrant identity.
