韦晕是“马华现实主义文坛三剑客”之一,他在小说创作中大量采用回忆叙述,反复书写生活在回忆中的人物,展现独特的时间意识及其叙述技巧。其小说常常以“风”和“烟”等朦胧意象,把时间的多重维度重叠起来,拓展了小说叙述的可能性;小说中的人物都有着刻骨铭心的过去,他们常常把现在过去化,企图通过留恋过去而逃避现在;有些人物也会将过去现在化,把虚幻的回忆带进现在这个时空。韦晕的小说真实地再现了华人移民海外的苦难历程,深刻地反映出华人移民在脱离了自身母体文化之后的情感矛盾,并为我们提供了一种通过回忆叙述叩问生命意义的独特方式。 Wei Wei is one of the “Three Musketeers in the MCA Realism Literary World.” He used a lot of recollections of narratives in his novels and repeatedly wrote characters living in memories to show his unique sense of time and his narrative skills. His novels often overlap the multiple dimensions of time with the obscure images such as “Wind” and “Smoke”, which expands the possibility of narration. The characters in the novel all have unforgettable past and often put the present time In the attempt to evade the present by nostalgia for the past, some will also modernize the past and bring unreal memories into the present time and space. Wei Zhen’s novel truly reproduces the overseas Chinese suffering history of Chinese immigrants and profoundly reflects the emotional contradictions of Chinese immigrants after they have left their maternal culture and provides us with a unique way of inquiring into the meaning of life through memoirs.
