Abstract Crossstrait migration is one of the important movie themes to show the relationship between the mainland and Taiwan, for it combines individuals and their homes with national narratives and yields a series of movies that are large in number, long in duration and rich in narration. However, the past research was more concerned about Taiwan producers and works, and neglected those from mainland China. Since 2000, the mainland has created and photographed more new works with the theme under the new historical conditions, done the community narration by means of homenation community, emotional community and cultural community and succeeded in building then an aesthetic community of audience and film. On the other hand, these films were also characterized by cliche plots, flawed narration, stilted emotional appeals, etc. Therefore, how to make the films resonate among on audience, especially the young, across the Strait so as to bring out the ultimate artistic value and social significance of crossstrait stories is still what crossstrait migration movies are faced with.
