旧年的血泪——《己卯年雨雪》后记

Blood and Tears in the Old Year: A Postscript to Rain and Snow in 1939

本文为熊育群的长篇小说《己卯年雨雪》的后记。写仇恨与宽恕,写人类之爱,写战争中跳动的人心与心灵历程,写战争之痛——那种无法抚平无法想象的痛,即使活着心灵也永无宁日,正如营田那个黑色的日子,它是亲历者一生也走不出的噩梦。战争中的人性与命运,战争对人血淋淋的摧毁,人类道德的大崩溃,广泛的恶行,悲剧性的生存,爱情的悲惨……希望这一切不只是激起普遍的悲悯,还有对于人性与现实的反省。

This is a postscript for Xiong Yuqun, Rain and Snow in 1939, which is a novel about hatred and forgiveness,about human love, about beating hearts in the war and a heart-felt journey, and about the pain of the war, unimaginable and unhealable pain, in a time when one＇s heart was left in no peace even when one was alive, like on the black day in Yingtian,a nightmare out of which no one who had experienced could go. Humanity and fate in the war, bloody destruction of humanity in the war, the great collapse of morality, extensive practice of evil, tragic existence and the tragedy of love…hopefully, all that will induce not only universal sadness but also reflections on humanity and reality.
