Abstract

Peter Hessler, Chinese name He Wei, has been praised as one of the most thoughtful western writers that pay close attention to modern China. Hessler's non-fictional literary creation has described the reality of current China. By contacting people around him and feeling the surrounding environment, he vividly reproduced the earth-shaking changes in China after the reform and opening up. As "the other", he inevitably has the color of "Orientalism" to represent China and Chinese.
