Abstract:
Talking about Latin American literature, we seem to get lost in the label of magical realism. Therefore, the question arises: what do we mean when we talk about magical realism? The lecture will try to outline the origins and changes of these two words in the Spanish language context, combining the interpretation of literature work such as One Hundred Years of Solitude and personal experience in the source place of the work, in the hope of meeting with more diversified Latin American literature.

Latin America will become an important strategic partner of China in the future. The Sino-Latin American cooperation is the key point of realizing a long-term and steady growth.

Abstract:
According to Jameson's definition, the long global 1960s (1959-1973) began with two Latin American events, namely, the Cuban Revolution and the Chilean coup. But for a long time, Europe and the United States in the 1960s have attracted much attention, but stories in La Havana, Mexico City, Santiago and Buenos Aires are often unheard of. In fact, in the 1960s in Latin America, Argentina's literary trend toward a new civilian audience, Cuba's call for a third-world coalition of film practice and Latin American writers' global travel experience were crucial to shaping the overall concept of Latin America. The death of Che Guevara in 1967 brought the tide of change to a climax. This report attempts to outline the above process from the perspective of social and ideological history and to question the way how contemporary China views Latin America.
