Chinese American writer Celeste Ng’s novel Everything I Never Told You penetrates into the educational crisis in a mixed-race family by highlighting the sense of alienation, frustration and depression resulting from distorted family ethics. This paper mainly analyzes the ethical issues in the novel from the perspectives of conjugal ethics, parent-child ethics and sibling ethics. According to Hegel, conjugal ethics requires both parties’ unification of personality, and their acknowledgement of the entitativity of a family, while James and Marilyn failed to do so. Apart from that, James’ estrangement from the children and Marilyn’s high expectations for Lydia made them suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder, and gave rise to Lydia’s death. Moreover, the issues of excessive attachment, escapism and invisibility aroused by siblings obstruct a normal intersubjectivity. Celeste Ng thus underscores the significance of wholesome family ethics for children’s growth and cultivation. Keywords—Celeste Ng; Everything I Never Told You; family
