《城南旧事》再解读

A Reinterpretation of Memories of Peking: South Side Stories

一直以来,《城南旧事》被认为是一部带有作者强烈自传色彩的怀乡小说。林海音在《城南旧事》用自己饱含深情的文字表达了浓烈的怀乡情绪,同时也记叙了北平人们的生活,对生活在北平的底层人的生活境遇进行了关注。这就使得《城南旧事》不仅是一部怀乡小说,如果将其置于台湾文学史甚至是整个汉语文学史当中重新审视,它还重新延续了五四新文学对人进行关注的文学传统。

For a long time, Memories of Peking: South Side Stories has been regarded as a nostalgic novel with a strongly autobiographical feature. In Memories of Peking: South Side Stories, Lin expresses strong feelings of homesickness, and also shows his concern about the living conditions of unprivileged persons in Peking. Memories of Peking: South Side Stories is not only a nostalgic novel, it also continues the new literature tradition of May Fourth when it is re-examined under the history of Taiwan Residents literature and the history of Chinese literature.
