她的眼淚比我的同情高貴得多――從〈手〉論蕭紅小說的留白藝術與自然美感

Her tears were much nobler than my sympathy': Exploring Xiao Hung's Art of Leaving Blank Room And Natural Aesthetic Through A Critical Reading of 'Hands'

蕭紅的作品向來以寫意渾成見長。因此，〈手〉這篇寫實性較為強烈的小說，在蕭 紅的作品中，自有其特殊性。本文試著從本篇小說人物形象的描寫，以及敘述角度兩方 面切入，討論蕭紅在這篇寫實小說中，所呈現的作家心理特質，與其他作品的相通之處， 那是蕭紅之所以為蕭紅的核心所在。 從描寫人物的技巧來看，可以看到蕭紅作品的重要質素――留白。在這篇小說中， 幾乎不將自己的判斷和聲音揉進故事裡的敘述中，只用王亞明日漸憔悴的外貌，暗示此 人精神力量的耗損：不去替王亞明抱不平，只用此人不堪的處境凸顯學校與同學的殘忍。 而在敘述角度方面，蕭紅以旁觀者的觀點去描述故事，所以在敘述時得以擁有留白 的敘述空間，讓作者的描述與讀者的想像，留下思考與感情的餘韻。不以意識形態去束 縛作品，讓作品的敘述能夠保有一種自然的發展空間。蕭紅以其精細而敏銳的藝術直覺 與追求，創造出出色的左翼文學作品。

Xiao Hong has been long famous for her free-hand drawing works that do not give too many details about the subjects. “Hands,” a realist novel, is thus quite special to her other writings. Focusing on this novel's sketch of the figures and the author's narrative angle, this article attempts to explore the author's mental characteristics, reflected in this novel, and what is in common between this novel and the author's other writings—which makes Xiao Hong unique to herself. One of Xiao Hong's important features—leaving blank room—may be recognized in this novel's figure sketch. The author barely adds into the story any of the author's judgment and points of view. Instead, the author merely represents Yaming Wang's shapes, weaker and weaker, suggesting Wang is losing her mental strength. The author has never said anything for Yaming Wang but merely uses Yaming Wang's state of ill-being to reflect how harsh and inhuman Yaming Wang's school and her classmates are. As to the narrative angle, the author tells the story from a bystander's perspective. As such, the author leaves a blank room that enables the author's description and readers' imagination to be remained with the reader's thoughts and feelings. Never expressing her point of view, the author keeps a room that allows the story to develop in ways of its own. With her fine-tuned instinct and dedication to art, Xiao Hong thus created an outstanding leftist literature work.
