互助·启蒙·焦虑--1940-1960香港小说中“作家”的生存境遇

Mutual Aid,Enlightenment and Anxiety--The Living Circumstances of Writers in Hong Kong Novels from 1940 to 1960

回观1940—1960年间的香港小说创作,以侣伦《穷巷》、舒巷城《太阳下山了》、刘以鬯的《酒徒》为对象,分析三部小说中的作家形象。1940—1960年间,自由主义的思想传统、商业港口的兴旺发达、左中右思想的融汇,构成了香港文化的混杂性、包容性特色。小说中的三位作家形象保留着中华传统文化人格中慎独、审思等优良品性,保持着知识分子独立于香港主流社会的价值立场,同时为了适应社会也不同程度地进行自我调适。他们的存在苦闷与探求方式,具有典型的地域性、时代性特征,体现了1940-1960年代香港在现代化、商业化进程中,知识分子作家确立自我身份意识的艰难历程。

This article looks back at the fiction creation in Hong Kong during the 1940-1960 period.It analyzes the images of the writers in the three novels of Poor Lane by Lu Lun,The Sun Is Down by Shu Xiangcheng,and The Drunkard by Liu Yizhen.From 1940 to 1960,a hybrid and inclusive culture emerged in Hong Kong that integrated the ideological tradition of liberalism,a prosperous port and commercial culture,and the ideas from left to middle and right wings.The images of the three writers in the novels retain the fine moral character of the traditional Chinese cultural personality,such as integrity and thoughtfulness,and maintain the value standpoint that the intellectuals should be independent of the mainstream society of Hong Kong.Meanwhile,they also adjust themselves to adapt to the society to varying degrees.Their existential distress and exploration approaches are typical of the region and their times,reflecting the difficult process of intellectual writers establishing their self-identity consciousness in the modernization and commercialization process of Hong Kong from 1940 to 1960.
