本論文主要是從移民、家與家庭的觀念出發，檢視《愛之慟》的男女主角在追尋人生或愛情的道路上所遭遇到的雙重困境：一方面，他們在建構個人心目中的家或家庭時，雖然一再以白種女性為對象，卻無法維持長久的愛情或婚姻關係；另一方面，他們對家或家庭的看法，往往令其移民父母感到失望或難以理解，因為他們所建構的家或家庭，成員除了白種女性外，還有白種女性和前夫所生的白種男孩，有清一色跨種族的同志，也有情願不生小孩的華裔妻子。論文主體分三部分，第一部分從移民的角度切入，鋪陳家的理論架構，第二部分探討《愛之慟》裡的跨種族兩性關係與華裔男子的成「家」問題，第三部分檢視兩代之間對家或家庭的功能與內涵存有何種認知上的差距。

This paper explores the dual dilemmas of the male and female protagonists via concepts of migration, home and family in seven of the stories collected in David Wong Louie's Pangs of Love: ＂Birthday,＂ ＂Pangs of Love,＂ ＂The Movers,＂ ＂Social Science,＂ ＂Love on the Rocks,＂ ＂Bottles of Beaujolais,＂ and ＂Inheritance.＂ The first dilemma lies in the Chinese American men's repeated failures to establish successful family relationships with their Caucasian partners, a situation that gives rise to further anxiety and pressure to continue the patrilineal family line. Another dilemma concerns generational conflicts between the protagonists and their parents. The present paper begins with setting out a theory of ＂home＂ for the migrant and his/her descendants. The second section explores interracial relationships by discussing the Chinese American male protagonists' failures to establish a permanent home and family with their blonde partners. Section Three examines how ethnic Chinese fail to live up to their parents' expectations as the two generations entertain diverse concepts of home or family. The final section sums up the principal concerns of the paper.
