Abstract

Marguerite Duras created The Sea Wall, The Lover and The North China Lover at different times of her life, In these three novels, the "Chinese lover" presents a different image, evolving from the ugliness, obscenity and wretch of Mr. Nor into a handsome, elegant and confident new image which is the cognition and description of China's cultural reality in different historical period from 1950's to 1990's by the author. Restricted and limited by the stipulations of collective imagination belonging in the French culture, Duras also reveals the evolution of her own emotional trajectory. Consequently, Duras always attempts to beautify love experience in real life, which motivates the changed emotion of the "Chinese lover".
