The Chinese literary journal AmericanChinese Literature, which started in the San Francisco Bay of America, led to the rise of the “Group of San Francisco Writers”.“The grassroot literature” of the “San Francisco Writer Group” helped to promote the trend of immigrant literature and growth of immigrant narration. Great Waves and Emotional Guy, written respectively by Huang Yunji and Sha Shi, both representative writers of the group, completely showed changes of different implications of immigrant narration and alternative tendencies of narrative mode.AmericanChinese Literature directly enhanced the growth of immigrant literature and became the cradle of new immigrant literature in North America and real holy land of immigrant narration. Chinese literature, from TaiwanHong KongMacau literature to Southeast Asian literature and from overseasstudent literature to new immigrant literature in North America, added much to the contents of global Chinese literature by relating to experience of immigrants as one of human cultural phenomena. In recent years, the description of immigrants’ “American dream” especially highlighted the very connotation of global Chinese literature as a discipline. For this, the contributions of AmericanChinese Literature can by no means be neglected.
