Abstract: Migrating change is the cultural metaphor in Kazuo Ishiguro's literary creation. Through the cross-cultural conflicts in a British orphan's life in Shanghai, warns of the ethical quandries raised by genetic engineering in the story of three human clones in human society, and the disaster of the civil war between the immigrants from Britons and Saxons, Kazuo Ishiguro's writing of migrating changes reveals the fact that geographical displacement is the cause of migrants' cultural changes, and the golden mean of the cultural exchange is to seek harmony in diversity and interdependence, which is also the way to resolve the dilemma in the migrating changes. Kazuo Ishiguro creates three dimensions of value in his global stories of migrating changes:harmony and coexistence in identity construction, the ethical norm of the unification between justice and interests, and a mutual-aid community for the national destiny, which correspond to idea of building a community with a shared future for mankind. Kazuo Ishiguro, an example of cross-cultural communication, echoes and confirms the concept of a community with a shared future for mankind, which is in line with the common ideal design and cultural appeal of contemporary mankind.

Key words: Kazuo Ishiguro, writing of migrating changes, harmony and coexistence, the unification between justice and interests, a community with a shared future for mankind
