适者生存与他乡书写——海外华文文学侧影之一

Survival of the Fittest and Writing Abroad——On Overseas Chinese Literature

在物竞天择、适者生存的世道中,中华传统文化呈现了乐感文化与适性智慧的特点。此一思维方式同样延伸于当代海外华文文学的书写中,华文作家于异国他乡苦苦拼搏,亦能表现出欲荣恶辱的"适人"之品性,独钓空濛的"自适"之知在,陶然至乐的"忘适"之心境,直面人生之真和直取性情之真,从而为世界华文文学的发展提供了有益的经验。

In a world advocating the principle of survival of the fittest,Chinese culture is featured with a wisdom of quick adaptation to the reality.This traditional culture is also embodied in contemporary overseas Chinese literature.These writers,while struggling from their life,have also shown their abilities to adapt to the reality by self adjustment and self satisfaction.They never give up pursuing the truth of their life and emotion,which has contributed a lot to the development of overseas Chinese literature.
