This research project, supported by the National Social Science Fund of China, investigates the portrayal of China's War of Resistance against Japan in 21st-century Asian American literature. It analyzes how diasporic writers navigate complex historical memory, identity, and transnational perspectives, often challenging or complementing national narratives. The study explores how these literary works use themes of trauma, displacement, and resilience to reconstruct a unique cultural memory of the war from a cross-cultural vantage point.

A significant component of the project extends to the film and television adaptations of these literary works. It examines the process of translating nuanced, text-based narratives into visual media, analyzing how adaptation choices can amplify, alter, or simplify the original works' thematic concerns for new audiences. This research ultimately illuminates the evolving and multifaceted legacy of the war in global cultural discourse, bridging literature, screen media, and transnational memory.
