Abstract

With the advent of globalization, transnational writing has become an important feature of authors’ creation. The investigation of the foreign country image in the writer’s works is helpful for finding many significant deep-seated factors. Hongying is a well-known overseas Chinese writer. Many elements about India can be found in her works, especially in the novel Out of India. In Hongying’s masterpieces, India at the end of the 20th century, with backward material civilization but ancient and long spiritual civilization, can still be called a holy land. The biggest characteristic of India is that it is a Buddhist country. The invasion of Buddhism can not only purify the men and women who lost their way in the crossflow of material desires, but also restore the tranquility of the soul to the people who are trapped by the love. The image of India in Hongying’s works is not only related to the historical context of China and India, but also to her personal understanding of India.
