This study aims to interpret the construction of cultural identity in David Henry Hwang’s Chinglish from the perspective of Homi Bhabha’s cultural translation theory. Cultural translation signifies a strategy of cultural survival, aiming to give each unique language tradition or cultural text its own space. In the play, the playwright displays the ambivalence of the collision between Chinese and Western cultures through the performance of the protagonist Daniel on the Chinese cultural phenomenon “guanxi,” ensuring the likelihood of cultural negotiation. Using hybrid strategies with the protagonists’ languages, cultures, and identities, the playwright undermines stereotypes of the East held by the West and successfully overthrows the hegemonic position of the colonialist culture. Furthermore, through intercultural negotiation and hybridity, each language tradition or cultural text acquires its own living space and creates new meanings in the Third Space, thereby creating a new cultural identity.
