Amy Tan, a representative author of the Chinese American Literature, succeeded in displaying the wonderful world in which the in-between beings live to the Chinese public. In this article, we will study the back-translation of The Joy Luck Club, Amy Tan’s the most successful novel, to the Chinese culture. By comparing its three Chinese versions, we will analyze the different translational strategies adopted by different translators: either to maintain the distinctiveness of the Chinese American culture in order to make the Chinese readers realize the difference between the traditional Chinese culture and the Chinese American culture or to preserve the purity of Chinese traditional culture, by deleting o correcting the information that isn’t in conformity with it.
