村上春樹作品裡的中國記憶一以〈去中國的慢船〉《聽風之歌》為主

Memories of China in the Works of Haruki Murakami: With a Focus on ''A Slow Ship to China'' and Listening to the Song of the Wind

村上春樹的作品裡中國人經常出現，例如去中國的慢船〉的三位在日中國人以及《聽風之歌）的傑、雪梨的緣街〉的雪麗等。又於《森羊冒險記〉《發條烏年代記》《黑夜之後》裡寫著有關中國歷史的記憶。藤井省三先生曾說「把中國拔除就無法談論村上春樹的文學」。柴田勝二先生也把村上春樹的作品與夏目漱石做對照而指出「中國在村上春樹作品裡所估的比重，雖然不似夏目漱石作品裡的韓國那般重，但是在作品裡明確地指名中國的也不少，這可顯示出村上春樹關心所在」。如先行研究所指出，中國在春樹文學上估有極大的份量，對此題目關心的論者，由於篇幅所限，僅以去中國的慢船及《聽風之歌》兩作品為研究對象，藉此來探討村上春樹作品中的中國表像及村上春樹透過作品之訴求為何？本論文將著重於文本分析，及藉助中日兩國之間的歷史資料來佐證作品中的〈我〉如何看待生長於日本，但是身上留著中國人血液的在日中國人，而這些中國人的特質為何？〈我〉為何對於這些中國人潛意識下採去忘記或是傷害，藉此瞭解村上春樹所描繪的中國及中國人的形象。

Chinese individuals and elements often appear in the works of Haruki Murakami, for example, the three Chinese residing in Japan in ”A Slow Ship to China,” and Jay in Listening to the Song of the Wind, Sherry in ”Green Street of Sidney.” In addition, Murakami writes about memories of Chinese history in Adventure of Finding a Sheep, The Chronicle of A Wound-up Bird, and After the Dark Night. Mr. huziisyouzou once remarked, ”We cannot discuss the literary achievement of Haruki Murakami if we omit the Chinese elements in his works.” Mr. Shibatasyoi, in a comparative study on Haruki Murakami and Soseki Natsume, contends that ”the proportion of Chinese elements in Haruki Murakami's works cannot compare with those of Korea in Soseki Natsume's works. However, that aspects of China often appear in his works often reveals Haruki Murakami's concern. From earlier research, we can see that China is an important element in Haruki Murakami's works and the topic has attracted many scholars. This study will focus on ”A Slow Ship to China” and Listening to the Song of the Wind to discuss the image of Chinese in Haruki Murakami's works and the author's intentions in presenting it in his works.With historical data concerning the relationship of China and Japan as reference, the author of this article will explore the characteristics of those Japanese Chinese or Chinese who resided and grew up in Japan, such as how they repress certain injuries in their unconscious, and how Haruki Murakami presents China and the images of Chinese through textual analysis.
