'Australia is a multicultural country developed from a British colony. Its geographical location, far away from Europe and the United States, close to Asia, and its history of identity rupture have made Australia The cross-cultural writing phenomenon of cross-border struggle between nationality and globality and both internal and external relations has formed in literature. This article combines the development process of Australian literature and focuses on these two issues, trying to discuss and reveal its evolution motivation and essential characteristics. The paper believes that cross-border struggles and cross-cultural writing in Australian literature are objective reflections of the process of identity construction and also reflect Australia's evolution from a jungle society to an industrial society. The construction of Australian cultural identity is a dynamic projection of Australia's national psychology and national spirit, highlighting the intricate relationship between the internal and external world of Australia's plural society. The focus on and writing about Asian culture is a new trend in Australian literature as Australia moves towards a globalized world.' (Translated publication abstract)
