Abstract: Marilyn Chins writing goes through three phases from the perspective of feminism, ethnicity and identity. In the first phase, she wanted to blend in “the great tradition” of white literature through “selfveiling”, but she couldnt escape the cultural nostalgia; in the second phase, she paid attention to selfidentity and self liberation and tried to fight for female ChineseAmericans; in the third period, she intends to use a range of modes and technique of literature without confining to only one aesthetic. The ultimate goal is to unite different traditions and cultures.

Key words: self veiling, cultural tradition, fusion
