当然是雨林——张贵兴的在地书写

It must be the Rainforest——Criticism on Zhang Guixing's Writing of Nativity

张贵兴的雨林三部曲《群象》、《猴杯》、《我思念的长眠中的南国公主》使婆罗洲雨林在文化版图上显现出迷人的色彩。在三本小说中,张贵兴都努力在建构婆罗洲的主体性,现实与在地才是最主要的。但在确立婆罗洲的主体过程中,张贵兴还是出现了盲点,他将多元的婆罗洲仅压缩为华人与原住民。而花果飘零的华人既成事实并且还在继续,作为华人华文文学源头与"正宗"的我们也应更具有多元意识来面对并推展华人华文。

The rainforest trilogy by Zhang Guixing of, The Elephants, The Cup of Monkey, and The Sleeping Princess of a Southern State in My Mind makes Borneo Rainforest a charming place in the map of culture. Why does Zhang Guixing choose rainforest for his writing？ To a Chinese - Malaysian, ＂China＂ means history and identity, which demands clarification. That is why Zhang Guixing con- struets the imagination of China and the history of China within the trilogy of rainforest. However, in the word ＂Chinese - Malaysian＂, ＂Malaysian＂ defines, after all, a more important identity. In the trilogy, ZHANG Guixing tries to construct Borneo as the main sub- ject. For him, the most important is the reality and nativity. Nevertheless, a blind spot occurs in his effort, where he narrows a diversi- fied Borneo down to Chinese - Malaysians and aboriginals. However, the dispersal of Chinese is a fact, and it is continuing. As the o- riginal source of Chinese literature, we should face and promote Chinese literature with a more diversified consciousness.
