往事如烟烟未散——评木山捷平记述1945年前后长春的纪实小说

Inerasable Memory—— On Kiyama Syouhei's Documentary Fictions about Changchun around 1945

日本现代作家木山捷平在日本侵华战争期间曾短暂驻留长春,木山回国后主要以这段中国经历为题材完成了后半生的创作。本文重点解读木山以长春为舞台的《大陆小道》、《长春五马路》等作品,揭示出木山围绕个人经历与命运展示的对不义战争的谴责和对军国主义的批判,同时也分析了木山文学的局限性,这都是以往木山文学研究中被忽略的内容。

Kiyama Syouhei, a Japanese modern writer, had been in Changchun for a short period of time during the Japanese invasion of China. Back in Japan, Kiyama＇s later writing motif was based on his life experiences in China. Through a close reading of his novels A Path on the Continent and The Fifth Avenue in Changchun in which Changchun is the setting, this article argues that Kiyama condemns the injustice of the war and criticizes Japanese militarism by depicting individual sufferings and destinies. This article also analyzes Kiyama＇s limitations in his literary writing which had been ignored in previous studies of his works .
