隐逸情怀的异域投射——杜运燮《你是我爱的第一个》中的南洋书写其意义析探

Abstract

杜运燮是著名归侨诗人，其有关南洋的诗文往往被认为是呈现出“中国性”与“南洋性”的拉扯。同时，杜氏诗文中“南洋”的运用往往被当作中国性的载体。然而，对此，笔者却并不认同。因之，本文将以杜运燮重返南洋场域后于1993 年出版的诗文集《你是我爱的第一个》作为主要研究文本，并将其放置入“文革”后归侨作家们文学创作的脉络中，细致探索这部诗文集如何书写南洋、“南洋”在诗文中被选择调用的目的与意义以及其与此前作品中调用“南洋”之动机的流变关系，同时试图挖掘这种流变与“隐逸”文化之间的关系。

Du Yunxie is a renowned returned overseas Chinese poet, and his poetry and prose about Nanyang (Southeast Asia) are often seen as reflecting a tension between “Chineseness” and “ Nanyangness”. In his works, the motif of “Nanyang” is frequently regarded as a vehicle for expressing Chinese identity. However, this paper does not fully agree with it. Therefore, this study focuses on Du Yunxie's poetry collection You Are the First I Loved, published in 1993 after his return to Southeast Asia, as the primary text for analysis. The collection will be examined within the broader context of literary works by returned overseas Chinese writers after the Cultural Revolution. This paper will explore how Du's poetry represents Nanyang, the purpose and significance of invoking “Nanyang” in his work, and how these motives differ from those in his earlier works. The study also aims to uncover the evolving relationship between this literary shift and the concept of "Chinese hiddenness" in culture.
