Abstract
In recent years, Chinese-American themed films created by Chinese-American directors have attracted attention from within the United States and around the world, as well as from the academic community. In many relevant studies that have emerged, there has been a lack from the point of view of the Chinese-American female narrative. This study has selected five Chinese-American films that have had a certain impact in the past few years: Crazy Rich Asians (Chu, 2018), The Farewell (L. Wang, 2019), The Half of It (Wu, 2020), Turning Red (Shi, 2022), Everything Everywhere All Once (Kwan & Scheinert, 2022). All of which coincidentally chose to feature Chinese-American women as their protagonists. Mainly using the feminist narratology brought by Susan S. Lanser, the paper explores how Chinese-American directors have constructed film narratives with female as method, while pointing out their future prospects.
