Based on the memory of the mother and his own imagination to rewrite and reconstruct the Chinese imagination. This paper mainly uses the theory of comparative literature image to "Joy Luck Club", "Kitchen God's wife". "inspiration Girl" and "sunken Fish" four works presented by the Chinese image of interpretation. At the same time, with the help of the postcolonial literary criticism of Saeed's "Orientalism" The theory of Tan En-mei 's novel image construction method and construction reasons are analyzed. Trying to fully and profoundly excavate the writing of Chinese American women writers and rewrite the purpose, significance and connotation of Chinese culture.

Chapter 6th is the summary part, the main part of the summary paper points out the significance of Tan En-mei 's Chinese image construction.
