伍绮诗《无声告白》中的中国书写

On the Chinese Writing of Celeste Ng's Everything I Never Told You

《无声告白》是美籍华裔作家伍绮诗的代表作。作为华裔作家所讲述的华裔故事,小说必然会涉及到中国书写。在表层的中国元素之外,小说描写了美籍华裔内心深处的一种心灵创伤。由于所携带的外来文化身份,这些美籍华裔在美国永远是被看视的异乡人,是在孤独与融入间游离的美国客。作为具有华裔身份的美国作家,伍绮诗的中国书写表现出一种复杂的特点,既包裹着对中国的肯定,也具有某些丑化,但总体而言,伍绮诗的中国书写还是具有相对客观的立场。

Everything I Never Told You is the representative work of Celeste Ng, a famous Chinese American writer. As a Chinese American＇s story told by a Chinese American, the novel is inevitably related to the Chinese writing. Besides the external Chinese elements, the novel describes the psychological apocalypse of Chinese Americans. Because of the foreign euhural identities, Chinese Americans are regarded forever as the foreigners by the Native Americans, wandering between loneliness and integration. As the American writer with the Chinese identity, the Chinese writing of Celeste Ng shows some eomplex features which include the combination of the Affirmation and negation of China. In general, however, the Chinese writing of Celeste Ng has a relatively objective standpoint.
