摘　　要：华裔美国作家汤亭亭的《中国佬》将小说、自传、传记、传说、神话等各种文本与历史文本并置,构成一个文学、历史、政治相互交织的符号系统。使文学的历史性和历史的文学性相互交织;使文学政治化,通过文学创作提出对美国在历史上对华人不公正待遇的政治抗议;使政治历史化,用历史文本真实生动地表现了美国如何在政治上残酷对待旅美华人。China Men, a novel by the Chinese-American writer Maxine Hong Kingston, constructs a juxtaposing various texts such as novel, autobiography, biography, legends, and myths with the historical text. This system interweaves the historicity of literature with the literariness of history, politicizes literature by putting forward a political protest against the United States＇ unjust treatment of Chinese people in history, and historicizes politics by using historical texts to truly and vividly represent the United States＇ cruel treatment of the visiting Chinese in history.
