20世纪60年代以来，随着中国和非洲各国之间政治、经济和文化互动的持续发展，中国在非洲的影响力与日俱增，非洲文学中涌现出大量书写中国的文本。本论文在吸收已有成果的基础上，充分扩展了文本范围，使用多种理论方法，对非洲文学中的中国形象进行了更加全面、深入的研究。本论文发现，非洲文学中的中国形象涉及到流散主体的身份问题，以及政治、经济、文化三方面形象。这些形象表明，两个地区具有相似的历史文化背景，面临着相似的问题。作品大多真实反映了非洲国家和中国的非官方互动，呼吁非中人民的互相理解。同时，本论文深入发掘了非洲作家对中国文学形式和文化精神的借鉴，从创作方法的角度指出了非中文学相互书写的“不平衡”现象。基于以上认识，本论文进一步提出“非-中”概念重构对“非中文学互动”和世界文学研究的重要性，并对“非-中”概念进行了初步的理论建构。

Since the 1960s, China’s influence in Africa has grown with the development of political, economic, and cultural interaction between the two regions. As a result, a large number of texts written about China have emerged in African literature. This thesis builds on existing achievements, fully expands the scope of the text, and uses a variety of theories and methods to provide a more comprehensive and in-depth study of the images of China in African literature. The thesis finds that the images of China in African literature involve the question of the identity of the diaspora subject, as well as three images: political, economic, and cultural. These images show that the two regions have similar historical and cultural backgrounds and face similar problems. Most of these works truly reflect the unofficial interaction between Africa and China, and call for mutual understanding between the African and Chinese peoples. At the same time, the thesis explores in depth the borrowings of African writers from Chinese literary forms and cultural spirits and points out the “imbalance” in the mutual writing of African and Chinese literature from the perspective of creative methods. Based on the above findings, the thesis further suggests the importance of reconstructing the concept of “Africa-China” for “Africa-China literary interaction” and the study of world literature. Last but not least, the thesis presents a preliminary theoretical construction of the concept of “Africa-China”.
