ABSTRACT

Everything I Never Told You by Celeste Ng, a Chinese American writer, tells a tragic story of a cross-ethnic Chinese mixed-race family aftersuffering from trauma. Itreveals the bondage of ethnicity, marriage and kinship to individuals by describing the contradictory relationship between obedience and resistance between parents andchildren. This paper will base on the specific reading on the novel, and apply the two theories--the Other Theory of Post-colonial and Feminism Theory of Beauvoir to analyze the novel--to explore the writer's family sense through the integrated analysis of representative family ethical relationship.
