The Re-enchantment of the"Ancient China":On the Deconstruction and Reconstruction in Good Hunting
In Good Hunting,Ken Liu actively"re-enchants"the East by borrowing the ancient"hulijing"myth,but this is not a"self-Orientalization"writing catering for the West,nor does the novel reset the reverse opposition between East and West,but to deconstruct colonial discourse in a multi-dimensional way.It rebels against the Orientalism representation system,and further imagines equal dialogues,friendly interactions and even organic combinations between the Western technology and the Eastern cultural deposits.It therefore transcends the colonialist perspective inherent in mainstream science fiction,making the ancient China become another field for imagining the future technology and writing science fiction.This fact manifests Ken Liu's creation of"Silk-punk novel"aiming to embrace heterogeneous cultures,transcend ethnic boundaries,and achieve multi-culture communication.
