Abstract

 

  With the acceleration of globalization, cross-cultural communication among countries are becoming more frequently. Cultural conflicts are inevitable because of the unique culture of each country. According to the intercultural communication theory, culture plays a significant role in cross-cultural communication. Under the guidance of native culture, communication among people from different cultural backgrounds can be rather complex, which may even lead to conflicts.

    The Bonesetter’s Daughter is the fourth novel that written by Amy Tan, a Chinese American writer. Experiences between Ruth and her mother are exact reflection of confusion about their different identities and cultures in the intercultural communications. However, with their joint efforts to respect and understand each other, they reached the amicable culture integration in the end. This paper aims at analyzing the conflicts and integration between Chinese and Western cultures from the perspective of intercultural communication. When dealing with different cultures, communication, understanding, tolerance and respect are the only ways to promote cultural coexistence and mutual development.
