《亚细亚的孤儿》是台湾作家吴浊流的长篇小说,小说揭露了日本殖民统治下的台湾境遇,还展示了主人公胡太明在这种情境下的"孤儿意识"。这种孤独、迷茫的"孤儿意识"是自我认同危机的一种表现,是自身的身份遭遇不承认而产生的一种内在体现,是通过一系列外在的表现才得以呈现显性的状态,主要表现为他者的多方面不认同和个人化的矛盾认同。胡太明外在的孤儿表现,体现了这种自我认同危机的原因,主要包括殖民文化和西方文化的外在影响,以及中国传统文化的内在制约。

The Orphan of Asia is a long novel by the Taiwan writer Wu Zhouliu. It reveals the situation of Taiwan under the Japanese colonial rule, and shows the protagonist Hu Taiming＇s consciousness of orphans. This lonely, confusing orphan consciousness is the manifestation of self-identity crisis. It is a kind of internal reflection generated when self-identity is not acknowledged, and it becomes explicit only through a series of external performances, which mainly takes the form of others＇ disapproval in many aspects and contradictory personalized identification. Hu Taiming＇ s external performance as an orphan reflects the causes of the crisis of self-identity, including the external influences of colonial culture and western culture, and the internal restraint of Chinese traditional culture.
