This idiosyncratic ¡°modern¡± national rhetoric is supposed to be time honored and timeless, but the children it breeds turn out to be neither rightfully Victorian nor indigenously Chinese. Adopting the concept of the ¡°meaning travel¡±, this essay intends to give an alternative perspective to examine the Chinese discursive practice of the Victorian literature. While intending to prove the ¡°Chinese character¡± by setting out what values showed in the Victorian novel Yeast China is now short of, the Chinese readers add a fugue motif in the fable of modern China¡¯s revitalization. %K < %K i> %K Yeast< %K /i> %K Meaning Travel %K China %U http://www.scirp.org/journal/PaperInformation.aspx?PaperID=31713
