戈公振“绯闻”:港台民国记者回忆录中的文学想象

Ge Gongzhen's "Pink News" :the Literary Imagination in Memoirs byReporters in the Era of ROC

大陆港台坊间流传了很多民国记者回忆录,关于戈公振婚恋及'绯闻'的记载就有四种,作者往往自称戈公振的同事或故旧。由于大陆戈氏传记史料记载的粗略与隐讳,这些回忆录中提供的故事备受欢迎,实与戈氏历史固有形象不合;经考辨可发现,这些婚、恋不分的'绯闻',作为传言早就形成于1920-30年代,加工则在1960-70年代,完善于这些流落港台的民国副刊记者的想象;而戈公振的实际婚姻则是一个时代悲剧,与绯闻无关。这也反映这些民国报人回忆录的史料缺陷,不能简单地当作传记史料引用。

Many memoirs by reporters in the era of ROC are circulated in China's mainland,Hong Kong and Taiwan.There are even four versions of Ge Gongzhen's love affairs and related”p ink news??”allegedly written by his colleague or friend.Owing to the omission and concealment in Ge??s biography published in China's mainland,the stories in the afore-mentioned memoirs are well accepted,yet not faithful to the historical fact.Through a critical examination and analysis,the"pink news”is identified as merely gossips originated in 1920-1930,fabricated in 1960-1970 and shaped into its present fashion by diaspra ROC journalists.In fact,Ge’s marriage is a tragedy of his day which has little to do with pink news.This reflects the defects of those memoirs,which hence cannot be employed as authentic biographical materials.
