“夜行者”归来:论丰子恺“文革”时期潜在写作的价值

A Returning Night Stalker: The Value of Feng Zikai's Potential Writing During the Great Cultural Revolution

丰子恺的《缘缘堂续笔》和他在"文革"时期寄给家人的一百多封信,共同构成了他"潜在写作"中最重要的两个部分。长久以来,这位文艺大师往往以"居士"的形象为学界所知,虽也偶有"斗士"的一面,但他于抗战时期的疾呼高喊却并未在其文学创作生涯中得到进一步延续。相反,在因政治运动而中断写作几年后,重新提笔的他在坚守与退让中挣扎许久,最终选择从创作形式和创作思想两方面,实行一次对旧时风格的复归。这种复归显示着"疏离现实、淡化政治"的外在姿态,但其后所隐藏的,则是具有另类"抵抗性"色彩的精神内核。丰子恺这种疏离时代话语的选择,体现了他中庸温和的性格特质。借此,他在这一时期的写作中完成了内心生活的某种升华和突围,从而使他像一位潜行在黑夜中的旅人那样,成为特殊的时代大背景里一个具有异样的定力与活力的文化人格典型。
