摘要

李永平的作品通常被视为“离散”华人叙述的代表，他对“原乡”执着不懈地追寻，成为他小说中独特的印记。而婆罗洲殖民历史和马共书写，是李永平前期作品的主要题材。〈黑鸦与太阳〉以童稚的角度刻划移民至马来西亚的华人，渠等传统普世心态的思考，在身处于种族冲突之中、兵荒马乱之际，想要全身远祸亦不可得，如何因应现实生活的适应转变。其中“黑鸦”、“太阳”以及色彩的意象运用得十分突出，而全篇奠定的“血红”基调（华人生存危机），似乎也能解释海外华人从“移民”到“遗民”的无可奈何，和李永平在往后的写作生涯中对“原乡”的焦虑感。

並列摘要

Lee Yung Ping's works are often regarded as representatives of ＂diasporic＂ Chinese narrative. The persistent pursuit of the idea of ＂hometown＂ in his oeuvre has become a unique imprint of his novels. The leftist and colonial views of the history of Borneo have been a primary theme of his works. ＂The Raven and the Sun＂ portrays, from the perspective of a child, the Chinese immigrants in Malaysia who struggled to maintain their traditional mindset and adapt to their new life in the midst of ethnic turmoil and political conflict. Images of ＂black raven＂ and the ＂sun＂ are conspicuous throughout. The image of the ＂blood red＂ tone is one of intense feelings of helplessness of Chinese immigrants who felt like the forgotten ones, and at the same time reflecting the author's continued anxiety over the idea of the ＂hometown＂ in his later writing career.
