宋美龄视野中的重庆——以1935年著《西南漫游》为例

Chongqing in the Perspective of Song Meiling:A Study on“The Journey of Southwest”in 1935

1935年春夏之间,宋美龄随蒋介石首次进入西南诸省。旅途中,她连续三次致函国民革命军遗族女学校学生,讲述川滇黔三省风土人情,阐发个人对国家大事之观察与感悟,以此训导遗族子弟树立忠诚爱国的理念。此三信后辑录为《西南漫游》一文,是宋美龄战前言论的重要文本。以入川的首站重庆为观察点,《西南漫游》所建构的重庆,既是四川军阀防区体制下秩序混乱与各种丑恶现实之代名词,又是沟通西南各省与外部世界的现代交通枢纽。透过该文本,还可看出宋美龄对于地处长江上游的重庆所拥有的富饶资源及开展"国民经济建设运动"战略意义的关注与认识。

Around the spring and summer of 1935,Song Meiling traveled in Southwest provinces for the first time with Chiang Kai-shek.During the trip,she wrote to the children from Nationalist Army Orphan Girl＇s School for three times,to describe the culture and folk customs of the southwest of China and express her personal opinion on the state affairs so as to build the patriotic idea among those young students.All those letters were included in the＂The Journey of Southwest＂,which was one of the most important writing from Song Meiling before the Anti-Japanese War.In＂The Journey of Southwest＂,Chongqing,the first stop for Song Meiling＇s tour,was symbol of chaos and sins under military administration system in Sichuan,however,it was also the transportation center of the southwest China.From the text,it can also find out that Song Meiling paid her attention to the rich resources of Chongqing and its importance for＂National Economy Construction Movement＂.
