妇女能顶半边天
Samantha Kuok Leese与两名当今最耀眼的文学巨星进行了对话，向我们描述了中国女性作家如何一步步从默默无闻到登上世界的舞台. 中国有句古话：「妇女能顶半边天. 」意思是，女性的地位与男性是平等的. 然而，多个世纪以来，中国的文学领域却长久地被男性所占据. 这可以追溯到公元前六世纪，当时儒家学说开始被广泛推崇，根据儒家教义，女子无才便是德.

研究东亚语言和文学的教授温迪•拉尔森在其专著《近代中国的女性及其著作》中指出，直到清代（1644-1911），女子的品德都与其身体上所能承受的考验联系在一起，女性的天性被认为是“与身体和物质有关的、具体的”，而男性和写作却属于“高尚的情感与知识领域”，并不适合女性. “因而直到进入现代时期，文学修养依然被看作是男性所拥有的特质，即便偶尔有个别才华出众的女性作家也不足以形成气候. ” 也是基于这个原因，中国文学中的女性作品极为稀少. 直到1919年撼动了当时社会独裁统治的五四运动之后，伴随着教育体系的改革，女性作家的声音才真正为世人所接受，女性作家从此也得以与男性作家们平起平坐. 尽管她们谈论的主题主要围绕两性关系，家庭和友谊，她们仍然被看做是变革的先驱，因为她们是第一批直接表达女性主观思想意识的作家. 虽然在20世纪的后半叶，大部分女性作家依旧遭受压迫，她们却为中国未来的女性作家铺平了道路.

最近三十年，这种对女性的偏见开始逐渐瓦解. 著名学者叶维廉认为，20世纪80年代的中国史无前例地出现了一大批女性作家，包括张洁，张辛欣和王安忆——她们在中国文学界独当一面.

然而，在世界范围内，直到1991年中国女性作家才找到了自己的栖身之所. 1991年，张戎发表了《野天鹅》，顿时震惊世界. 据出版商哈伯柯林斯介绍，在近代出版史中，《野天鹅》仍是非小说类平装图书中销量最高的作品.

到今天，这本书在中国仍然被列为禁书，但广大海外评论界人士却称赞张戎的回忆录是这个时代意义最为重大的作品之一. 因为这部作品描写了作者身处20世纪的中国所亲历的苦难，而那时，西方对所谓“竹幕”背后的情况知之甚少.

虽然《野天鹅》获得了非凡的成功，但是其批判性的内容却很容易让读者妄下判断——觉得中国仅仅是一个残酷的、压制性的权力集团. 随着外国读者逐渐以一种更加全面、现代的眼光来审视中国的历史文化, 这种理解显得越来越不合时宜.

20世纪90年代，一些出版商觊觎《野天鹅》的成功，争先鼓励类似作品的出版. 这使得中国女性作家的英文作品为了迎合市场需求，形成了一种特定的模式. 文学家海伦娜 • 格赖斯在她的作品《Asian American Fiction, History and Life Writing》中指出，这种模式着重描写主人公或者作者自己在集权政体下所经受的遭遇和苦难.

当然，也有人并不赞成这种写作方式，四川大学研究中国文学的教授赵毅衡说道：「中国20世纪经历的种种动乱，包括内战，文化大革命，怎么能简单地用一本书就加以概括了呢？中国当时的社会情况十分混乱，而张戎则大胆地简化了这一切. 与其说《野天鹅》是一部文学作品，不如说它提供了一种极其聪明的写作模式. 它用英语撰写，并且就是为了写给西方国家的读者看，这本身就是一种简化的写作方式. 中国人看了这本书都会感到迷惑不解. 在他们看来，当时任何一个家庭都会有这么一段历史，而且可以以一种更有意思的方式描述出来.

中国现代文学的翻译者天衣，也是著名异见作家马建先生的妻子，进一步解释道，「有这样一种针对西方读者群的带有自传性质的作品，作者主要为女性，主题在于描述世世代代中国人所经历的各种苦难. 你会隐隐感到，各个作者们之间似乎在暗暗较劲，竭力超过别的作者，因而苦难被描述得越可怕，他们的作品就越有市场. 这些书为了迎合西方读者刻意贬低中国，怀抱爱国热情的中国人们对此坚决反对. 」

这些作品包括，闵安琪的《红杜鹃》（1993），张邦梅的《小脚与西服》（1996），马严君玲的《落叶归根》（1997），虹影的《饥饿的女儿》（1998）等等.

诚然，将这些作品一概而论有些过于简单化了，但是这些主题类似的作品已然形成了一个女性写作的新分支，这是无可厚非的. 直到今天，Grice仍然认为，这种写作模式在“把一种观点商品化”的时候，让读者对中国女性的经历形成了一种刻板印象. 她强调，「出版商们现在正致力于向大众读者推销一种‘东方主义’，这种‘东方主义’将继续为他们带来丰厚的利润，并让西方世界持续保持对东方文明和亚洲人的盲目迷恋. 」 然而，在过去十年里，人们似乎在不断尝试从《野天鹅》的模式里走出来，通过以个人的视角而不是政治性的、宏观的叙述方式来向读者讲述中国. 这种转变鼓励了全世界读者把作者作为一个与自己相似的普通人看待，而非一个身处陌生国度、向自己描述异国经历的偷窥者. 这样一来，中国女性的生活变得正常起来，中国复杂的过去和快速变化的现在也变得不那么神秘.

当代华裔作家徐军是个地地道道的重庆人. 1988年，徐军从这个中国西南部的城市移居到了美国. 她的第一部作品《Apologies Forthcoming 》获得了2007年Tartt小说奖，使她成为了目前中国女性作家中最令人耳目一新的一个.

这本书集合了八个故事——通过描述不同时代背景下各个人物的不同故事，生动再现了文化大革命对于个人的影响. 该书的副标题为《Stories not about Mao》. 她在国外的经历也激发了她通过一个个层层递进的小片段来展现文化大革命这一历史灾难的构思. 「在两个政治体系截然不同的国家都生活过之后，我不再那么容易被任何一种‘主义’所鼓动，无论是共产主义，资本主义，帝国主义或是恐怖主义. 透过这些主义我看到得是无数的普通人，他们既有共同的地方，也有迥然的差异. 他们有着人性的弱点，也怀揣着各自的偏见. 无论是国内政治或国际宣传，都有着共性的一面，同时在东西方世界，我都能看到信息传递上的差异.

每个国家的人民都倾向以一种抽象的思维和先入为主的方式来看待其他国家的人民，而不是把对方看作同样有血有肉的人. 因此，我的目的是尽可能以现实的方式刻画各个人物形象，试图回归到人类最本真的东西. 」

尽管全书的主题是文化大革命，包括文革结束后的中国，徐军却谨慎避免将作品撰写成为一部所谓的“受害者文学”.

她解释道：「文化大革命可以说是一次‘全民’运动，人们常常轮流扮演受害者和迫害者的角色. 今天，我们经常可以看到得是‘受害者文学’，却很少有人真正谈起自己曾经做过得另人后悔的行为. 当谈到人性时，我是一个十足的悲观者. 我认为，道歉永远都是将要到来，但不会真正到来，这也是我为什么取这个标题的原因. 」

尽管徐军毫不犹豫地称赞《野天鹅》为“她读过得本时期最优秀的传记文学之一”，她依然指出，当张戎刻画其父亲时，描绘得是一种苦难者的姿态，这不可能是全部的事实. 「作为一名共产党员，兼省委宣传部主任，其父在执行任务时不可能没有迫害过其他人. 」徐军进一步解释道，「但是在这本书中，你看不到任何相关的叙述. 我理解这对作者来说很难做到，因为当局者迷，旁观者清. 」 然而，谈到以英语为撰写语言的中国女性作家的作品时，徐军却信心满满：“现在已经有很多不同的声音出现，这是个好现象. 我认为，抵消刻意宣传效用的唯一方法便是兼听、多看. 不可否认，宣传并不是中国的专利. ”

在众多不同的声音中，许多提出了针对女性的普世问题. 尽管上述大多数作品都直接或间接探寻了中国女性的特定地位，其中有一些作家在不抛弃其特有文化视角的前提下，尝试扩宽了其话题争论的范围. 知名作家许素细常常往返于纽约与香港两个城市之间. 在香港，她是最具文学才华的成功人士之一. 去年，她在香港城市大学创立了创意写作艺术硕士(Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing )课程. 这是全世界范围内唯一研究用英语撰写亚洲文学的课程. 她2010年的小说《Habit of a Foreign Sky》入围英仕曼亚洲文学奖，该奖旨在探寻女性在当今世界的生存意义. 她分析道：「尽管女权主义和女性运动为我们带来很多权利，我们仍然步履维艰. 」 《Habit》的书名源于埃米莉•狄更生的一首诗，而此书的灵感则来源于亨利•詹姆斯的《一个贵妇人的画像》(Portrait of a Lady). 这是一本经过深思熟虑而写就得小说，讲述了一个有过创伤、从事国际金融业的混血高级行政人员，如何处理母亲的突然辞世与自己事业上所面临得问题的故事. 许素细称之为一本“女性的书”.

「在投入写这本书时，我已认识到这个问题是极其复杂的，而在之后我却理解了为什么众多女性的写作作品不过是一种所谓的‘鸡仔文学’. 」她解释道，这个词语并没有贬低意味，而是表明一系列女性作家倾向以与男性不同的写作方式来处理情感和性别差异的问题. 许素细承认，女性作品常常被嗤之以鼻，但同时她又说道，女性写作“也正变得越来越自由”. 「我遇到的很多优秀作家都是女性. 她们非常具有创造力，充满勇气，同时有一种开拓精神. 现在的问题是文学界是否能给予她们足够的发展空间. 」 她同时指出，女性作家们，无论在中国或在西方，都深受以男性为主导的文学传统的影响. 今天，如果她们希望创造新的传统，就必须着力于那些为女性所普遍关注的问题.

例如，《Habit》一书在一定程度上旨在探寻许素细称作得「超级女性的神话」. 女性在维护一个幸福家庭生活的同时，真的能拥有一个充满意义和价值的职业生活吗？「我本人是一个女权主义者，当这个名词还并不流行的时候，我便这样称呼自己. 但我从来不认为我们能够鱼和熊掌兼得. 」许素细说道.

《Habit》讲述得故事同时发生在香港，纽约和上海，反映出了在大范围移居的影响下，许多中国人已有得一种国际身份认同. 更广泛来说，在整个关于亚洲的文学作品中，许素细都越来越感受到一种多文化视角的存在. 「我把它看做是在亚洲范围之外完成的作品. 」她在谈及这种次文学体裁时说道，「所以它可以是关于亚洲，也可以是来源于亚洲，或是受亚洲影响而产生的文学. 它的故事背景也并不一定是在亚洲. 我越来越多地发现，亚洲作家们给小说写作带来了一种跨国视角. 」 中国女性作家的作品，似乎正在将其关注点从大转移到小的层面——从历史性转移到人性——但于此同时，她们也把目光转移到了全世界的读者群. 在这个过程中，这些作品不再单纯依赖那些热衷于作品整个主题的西方读者群. 而是通过采取一种更加内敛、更加自信的表达内容本身的方式，描述人类现在的生存处境而被世人所认同.

现在，全世界的目光都聚焦东方，我们应该意识到克服偏见、促进不同文化间相互理解的重要性. 如果说文学是一种用文字记录下梦想的方式，那么我们应该认识到，中国文学记录下得并非都是噩梦.
