严歌苓的小说《扶桑》凸显着帝国站在东方主义立场上对华人的“凝视”，通过带有巨大权力意味的凝视，被凝视者被塑造成了他者。该文结合赛义德的东方主义理论，探讨严歌苓将美国人对中国人的女性化，甚至是妖魔化书写进行的逆写。小说中的妓女扶桑在凝视下保持着一贯的笑脸，这笑脸构成的“反凝视”影射出美国白人对华裔移民粗暴的种族歧视和灭绝政策，以及被扶桑神秘的东方色彩迷恋一生的白人克里斯对种族问题的良心叩问。围绕着妓女扶桑的爱与婚姻，严歌苓的小说打破了西方意欲凸显自身强大而东方弱小构建起来的东方主义话语，赋予了处于失语状态的华人以言说的机会，并且书写着真正意义上的东方。

Yan Ge-ling's novel highlights the "gaze" at chinese from Orientalism. Through the gaze with enormous power, those who are gazed become "the others". This paper, in light of Said's Orientalism, explores how Yan Ge-ling, as a Chinese immigrant of the fifth-generation, reverses the feminization and demonization of Chinese by Americans in the field of literature. The prostitute Fu Sang remains smiling under the gaze, and this smile constitutes a force of anti-gaze which reveals the brutal racial discrimination and extermination policies in America, and we also witness pangs of remorse from Chrise who is fascinated by Fu Sang's mysterious oriental flavor throughout his life. Through the love and marriage of Fu Sang, Yan Ge-ling's novel breaks Orientalist discourse constructed by the West in order to highlights its strength and the weakness of the Orient, providing a chance to Chinese to speak and write the Orient in its true sense.
