赖声川戏剧中的台湾外省人形象及身份认同

The Images and Identities of Taiwan Residents Mainlanders in Lai Shengchuan's Dramas

赖声川在有关台湾外省人形象的剧作中,呈现了外省人第二代在身份认同上的心路历程。这些外省人形象,折射出他们从最初承继父辈的大中华观念,至意识到这种观念的现实障碍,再从两代人不同的生命体验出发,重新思考、调整对自身处境的认知,理性地容纳对台湾的在地情怀和对大陆的民族血缘、中华文化的精神传承。对此客观、准确的解读有助于我们对台湾社会的一个重要侧面之理解,为理解和把握两岸关系提供有益的启示。

Lai Shengchuan presents us with the journey of Taiwan second generation mainlanders in their identity recogni- tion in his dramas related to the images. The images of these mainlanders reflect the initial inheritance of the orthodox Chinese concept of their elder generations. And they have been well aware of the real obstacles of this concept. As the life experiences of the two generations turn out to be different, the mainlanders of the second generation begin to rethink and adjust themselves the understanding of their own situation, rationally accepting the cognition of their affections for Taiwan and our national blood relationship with the spirit inheritance of Chinese culture. Therefore, the writer believes that the objective and accurate inter- pretation of the mainlander＇s images in Lai Shengchuan＇s dramas will, no doubt, help us understand the important aspect of the society of Taiwan, and at the same time, provide us with beneficial enlightenment for understanding of and dealing well with the Cross-Strait relations.
