This article argues to treat ‘diaspora’ as an emotive and psychic disruption, a state of being, as viewed through the lens of memory, and with that argument challenges Shu-mei Shih’s call for an ‘expiration date’ for Chinese diaspora in her theorization of the concept of ‘Sinophone’. This article reads closely two short stories by two Sinophone writers through the prism of ‘postmemory’ and ‘prosthetic memory’ and demonstrates that there are various degrees of diasporic condition that exist in the simultaneous generations of all kinds of Chinese migrants. Diaspora, understood through memory as a state of being, thus is a critical stipulation for the theorization of the concept of ‘Sinophone’.
