《东风.西风》是赛珍珠创作的第一部长篇小说,是以一个年轻中国女子独白的形式讲述的故事,反映了“五四”新文化运动前后中国社会传统与现代的交锋、新旧势力的冲突,强调了现代化的力量是如何改变了中国传统的家庭结构和妇女的命运。从社会学和叙事学两种视角深入分析上篇的女性叙事,可以看出,中国妇女在现代化进程中所遭遇的解放必须面对传统文化早已内化的压抑和西方化的自我镜像的挑战,还有男性他者的强权。赛珍珠让沉默的中国女性发出了声音,这也使得《东风.西风》成为一部备受忽视但却颇有价值的作品和文献。 “The East Wind and the West Wind” is the first novel written by Pearl S. Buck and is based on the story of a young Chinese woman monologue. It reflects the confrontation between Chinese social tradition and modernity before and after the May Fourth Cultural Movement, Conflicts of power have highlighted how the power of modernization has changed the traditional Chinese family structure and the fate of women. From the perspectives of sociology and narratology, it can be seen that the emancipation of Chinese women in the process of modernization must face the challenge of the internalization of traditional culture and the self-image of Westernization. There is the power of the male other. Pearl Buck made the silence of Chinese women voice, which also made “Dongfeng westerly” a neglected but valuable piece of work and literature.
