Abstract: Imagining China is the basic theme of modern Chinese literature in the 20th century, and it is also an important dimension to investigate the literary creation of overseas new immigrants. Yan Geling, Zhang Ling and Hong Ying, the most representative and influential writers of new immigrants literature, imagine China in the interactive fusion of “self” and “other”. The existence of “other” in their “exotic writings” and the spiritual appeal of “rooting roots”, the search for “self” and the reconstruction of cultural identity and the interaction between “self” and “other” and the dialogue and fusion of heterogeneous culture, not only show the different poetic connotation of mainland writers and early overseas Chinese writers, but also reflect the beneficial exploration and deepening of transformation in the context of globalization and multiculturalism, and furthermore, also show how to tell the Chinese stories to the world and shape the cultural confidence and ultimate demand of Chinese influence.

Key words: imagining China, “self”, “other”, interactive fusion, heterogeneous culture, female writers of new immigrants
