Yao Li

Abstract


From the perspective of cross-cultural communication, this paper takes the cultural differences in the film A Grandson from America as a clue and applies Hofstede’s five dimensions of Cultural Dimensions Theory. It also explains the conflict and fusion of Chinese and Western culture in the film and its enlightenment. It is of great significance to explore the countermeasures to the cultural conflicts between China and the West in order to promote the cultural exchange and integration between China and the West in the current international environment.
