Ts’ai Yen lived in Hun for 12 years. Even the Hun’s music always bothered her, made she can not slept, but then she adopted the environment, join in this group, sing her own song with her clipped voice under the barbarian reed pipe. She was Kingston’s another “Fa Mu Lan”, she dashed about in a battle field, killed enemy heroic, after caught by Hun, she never gave up, never lost, she kept Han nation’s language and culture in silence, absorb the advantages of Hun and created the beautiful song Eighteen Tragic parts of Barbarian Pipes.
In Kingston’s work, Ts’ai Yen’s pain and homesick were disappeard, instead of them was to create a woman warrior who can adopted the life out home, never gave up, never lost, never afraid of violence, to kill enemy heroic. Ts’ai Yen’s image was to show the feminism that is even female lived in adversity, the environment was awful, we also can make a big contribution if we never give up, never afraid of violence, try our best. Those are the real pictures of Kingston’s life and her ideal: she thought to wrote is her duty, she must play the woman warrior’s role in the real life, to change Chinese figure in American minds, and also change Chinese American’s minds and their literature’s “other” status in marginalized culture, make sure that Chinese American’s position in American, wrote some excellent novels, promote the Chinese American literature. Those are the deeply feminism of Kingston, her words break through the Chinese American’s hundred years’ silence, to show the Chinese American’s pain to the world by words; those feminism also made her ideal come true, make sure the Chinese American’s status in American society, promote the Chinese American literature.
