探尋詩人陳秀喜高齡再婚旋仳離的真相

Reveal the Truth under poetess Hsiu-Si Chen’s of Remarriage

陳秀喜女士離世已經二十五年多了，有越來越多的後學，讀其詩文，而懷念「陳姑媽」（稱呼見下，年譜）的種種動人，或令人好奇的行徑。其中最多的，是她高齡五十八歲時離婚；這，在當時是轟動全國的事，比近些年日本退休夫妻訴請離異潮的時代，還要早。但，她離婚七年後，當六十五歲的老年，再婚，又再度跌破人眼鏡：豈料在同年又仳離，前後僅二百六十九天，不滿一年，更令人不敢置信！而且還因此興訟呢。
她的老年生涯，處處令人驚奇；驚奇的背後，其實隱藏著許多無奈與血淚。這，也正是本論文所要探討的地方。而自來有關研究陳秀喜詩文學的論文、著述（附註），與其它文人相較，其實不多；而詳細研討她家庭、婚姻生活的，更少。至於再婚夫顏清輝非文化界人士，相關資料可謂絕無僅有。
因此，本論文所探討的，分由下列五方面進行︰
一、以文學編譜方式，簡述陳秀喜的生平及其詩文學。
二、敘述陳秀喜與顏清輝的再婚生活︰觀察陳女士再婚之決定，實屬倉促而冒險；但，亦有其苦衷之背景，故應由下列數方向來探究︰
1、再婚的緣由
2、夫婿顏清輝簡介
3、陳、顏婚姻生活的一斑
三、陳、顏婚姻官司的源委
四、陳秀喜是貪財之輩？
五、陳秀喜的苦處與磨難
上列第四項「陳秀喜是貪財之輩？」所以要探討它，是因為顏氏反告她貪財。這是本論文注視的焦點，意在凸顯陳秀喜的人格風範是始終如一的。她急人之苦、有人無我的情操，益顯其詩格（前人已多討論，在此不贅）與人格的一致性；而其所受磨難，也似乎是「必然」的結果了。

Mrs. Chen, Hsiu-Si has passed away for twenty five years. There are more and more scholars studying her poems and literature in order to remember the moves or interesting behavior of “Aunt Chen” (Please refer to Year 1978 in the chronicle to find the origin of this title). Her divorce at fifty-eight age amazed people the most. This made a hit national-wide at that time. It happened even earlier than the divorce rush of Japanese retired couples. However, after seven years of her divorce, she married again when she was in age 65. It surprised the public once more! Unexpectedly, she divorced again in the same year and the marriage only lasted for 269 days. It was unbelievable and she even litigated due to this remarriage.
In short, her elderly life was full of surprises. Behind these surprises were endless tears and helplessness. This was also the main point discussed in the thesis. There were limited literatures and works discussing her poetry (within 10 works based on the author’s investigation). The works discussing her families and marriages were even fewer.
The study discussed in five aspects below:
(1)Introduced Hsiu-Si Chen’s life and her poetry in the chronicle.
(2)Described her remarriage life with Ching-Hui Yen: Her remarriage is a rush and reckless decision under pressure; therefore, the study investigated the remarriage in the following aspects:
1.The reason why she married again
2.Introduction of her husband, Ching-Hui Yen
3.Their remarriage life
(3)The causes of their marriage lawsuit
(4)If Hsiu-Si Chen was greedy for money?
(5)What was Hsiu-Si Chen’s speechless suffering?
The item (4) above was to investigate why her husband accused her of greediness. This study intended to emphasize that Hsiu-Si Chen kept her faith from the beginning to the end. She was considerate of everyone and even selfless. This style also could be found in her poems. No wonder she had to suffer those pains in her life.
