The Old Pattern and the Creation of the New Masculine Identity in Julie Wu’s Novel. This paper analyses the way in which Julie Wu transforms Saburo or Tong Chia-lin, the main character of her novel, into a true man. Unlike the great Chinese American author and critic Frank Chin, Julie Wu does not turn her character into a militant hero by developing his wu nature, but transforms him into a Taiwanese American scholar after developing his wen nature, through many years of studying and numerous sacrifices both in Taiwan and the United States of America.
Keywords: Julie Wu, Frank Chin, wen, masculine identity, third son.
