Chinese and American Migration Line in Geographic Landscape Writings from O Pioneers! to Peacock Cries at the Three Gorges
Willa Cather's Oh,Pioneer! and Hong Ying's Peacock Cries at the Three Gorges both focus on the migration groups.By means of regional landscape narrative rich in aesthetic emotions,they jointly create differentiated migration lines in the novels,which not only serve as objective carriers of culture between China and America,but also imply the visible national tradition and spirit.This article uses Robert T.Tally Jr.'s topophrenia to analyze the evolution of the mankind-earth relationship in mentioned works.Whether it is the former American immigration"divide line"in Nebraska or Chinese emigration"water line"in the Three Gorges Reservoir,the authors complete the construction of the consciousness of a shared future for all life aided by unnatural narrative,which indicates the consistency between migration lines and national policies.Especially,Hong Ying has also injected elements of the Chinese modernization into the thinking of traditional Chinese mankind-earth relationship,making her novel a masterpiece of postmodern migration narrative with technological concerns.
