剪不断的南来情——由南来作家刘以鬯说起

The Unceasingly Connected Emotion of South——Coming Speaking from Writer Liu Yichang

刘以鬯是1949年前后南来文人中的一员,虽然延续着极具代表性的"大陆"情怀,但是他却以独具特色的"在地"书写,改写着研究者们对"南来意识"的狭隘定义。刘以鬯一面追寻着曾经的文化身份,一面将香港的现实融入其中,在"娱乐他人"与"娱乐自己"中探寻着属于香港的"本土"特色。

Liu Yichang is a typical example of the south-coming scholars in about 1949. Although he continues the representative “mainland” feelings, he changes researchers’ narrow definition of “south-coming awareness” with unique “on-the-earth” writing. On one hand, he is seeking for his past cultural identity; on the other hand, he also integrates the reality of Hong Kong into his works, exploring the “local” characteristics of Hong Kong itself in entertaining others and himself.
