To Kill a Mockingbird has been published for more than 50 years. It is listed as a textbook in American society and is a classic American literary work. As the book becomes a bestseller, it goes abroad and is known to more and more readers. Through the search in CNKI, the author finds that the Chinese scholars analyze To Kill a Mockingbird is mainly from the aspects of post-colonialism, racism, film adaptation, and so on.
Leng chai summarizes the problem of racial discrimination and people's struggle for racial equality in the town of Maycomb and shows us the unremitting efforts made by the people in the book to pursue equality of power. (2019) Chen Jing summarizes Harper Lee's vivid portrayal of the key characters in the novel and the race relations of the town of Maycomb, her criticism of racism, and her fine grasp of narrative strategies, which reveals her colonial and anti-colonial consciousness. (2015) Through the interpretation of the symbolic meaning of Mockingbird, Su shows that Lee uses the profound symbolic meaning of Mockingbird to expose and criticize the concept of racial differences and the excessive and unfair treatment of blacks in American society at that time. (2018) Tang points out that the book shows the tragic fate of blacks being killed despite their innocence in the face of racial discrimination an
d unfair laws. In addition, unjust laws, religious beliefs, and discourse hegemony make the black community collectively in a state of aphasia. (2021) Zhao mainly studied the social defects in the United States due to the influence of the historical background and the imperfect legal system and analyzed the issue of racial discrimination from multiple aspects. (2016) Gu explores the Gothic style of the novel from the perspectives of grotesque and terrifying features, reverse narrative forms, and distorted Gothic characters. （2020）
    Foreign scholars mainly interpret the book from the aspects of racial inequality, unique narrative perspective, and social and cultural background of the novel. Andrew Haggerty makes an in-depth analysis of the text from the aspects of the story synopsis, the story's historical background, whether the protagonist can represent justice, and whether the law is fair.(2010) Ashleigh Johnson carefully analyzes Tom Robinson's testimony and demonstrates the different ways in which white and black people were treated in Alabama in the 1930s through children's attitudes to court trials to reveal the injustice suffered by blacks. (2019) John Cusatis analyses the complex racial issues exposed in To Kill a Mockin
gbird. (2010). Harold Bloom makes a specific, comprehensive, and in-depth analysis of the text from the aspects of symbolic images, racism, religious thoughts, children's growth, court trials, novels, and films. (2010) Macaluso urged educators to teach and discuss Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird responsibly, lest it perpetuates a subtle racist ideology in schools at all grades. (2017) Setyawati uses narratology to analyze the text from a grammatical perspective and a speech act criticism perspective. (2018) Bachtiar studies the novel's social context and explores the social environment in which the characters live from sociology, politics, culture, religion, and technology. (2018) Gustafsson notes that to Kill a Mockingbird's narrative, characterized by childlike innocence, is used to mask Eurocentrism's ignorance of racial and economic inequality. In To Kill a Mockingbird, racism is wrongly portrayed as an individual moral issue rather than a system of discrimination deeply rooted in every aspect of American society. The liberal, moderate ideology of Atticus's character has been historically overlooked because of his undoubted status as a moral model, bordering on myth. Gustafsson found that To Kill a Mockingbird was used as part of a larger Europe-centric narrative that positioned the civil rights movement as a white
movement for moral improvement. (2019) Potyk also suggested that the book was written from the perspective of white privilege. While acknowledging this simple fact, people recognize that systematic racism has existed in our society for too long. (2020)
Generally speaking, there is no unique study on To Kill a Mockingbird in China, so the research materials are relatively scarce. Moreover, there are relatively few articles about it on the Internet, so the research is not comprehensive enough. Domestic studies are mainly conducted by students majoring in English and American literature and relatively few by other groups. However, the foreign research is relatively more, and from many angles to understand the book. Commendably, there are also many criticisms of this book, which is of great significance to the interpretation of this book.
