Abstract
National culture is a geographically significant culture with the fundamental framework of the nation and the state. The Chinese people have stepped out of the original nation-state system and live in the United States. But they still have the original mother culture, and their long-term living in the United States makes them need to adapt to the American culture, so the Chinese American female literature researchers have cultural duality. The world is undergoing a global cultural transition. As a unique charming group in Chinese literature, the existence and development of Chinese-American female works have far-reaching cultural significance. Chinese American female writers express their identity and artistic pursuit through literary works. No matter whether they advocate "Americanization" or return to the traditional Chinese culture, their works can be seen everywhere in the face of the "identity" problem of Chinese-Americans like abandoned babies struggle. To this end, they strive to reshape the history of Chinese Americans and build a bright future for Chinese Americans. Their works play an important role in helping Chinese Americans rediscover their ancestors and enhance their national confidence and pride.
