摘要

黃碧雲以暴烈與溫柔書寫生命及情感，於文壇自成一格；並以香港為根柢，道出深受九七大限威脅的香港人之愛恨情仇。〈失城〉一文正是以香港的政權轉移為時空背景，用一樁謀殺妻兒的血案，導引出香港移民者、英國殖民者及在地香港人失去我城的流離故事。本文試圖解析黃碧雲寫出不同身分的香港人，如何在九七大限下惶惑不安或麻木不仁；暴力如何於平靜的日常生活中暗潮洶湧，並造成人們對死亡本能的追尋；以及人的命運是如何身不由己，不得不暴烈的宿命觀。

Huang, Bi-Yung's fierce yet tender descriptions of lives and affections sets a distinctive style in the literary field. In the setting of a repressed Hong Kong in 1997, a transition time of sovereignty, she talked about the love, the hatred and the passion of its people. "The Lost City" was written in the sovereignty transferring background in Hong Kong in 1997. In the storyline of a murder case of wife and children, undergoes a drifting story about losing homes of vagrant migrants, British colonizers and local people. This essay attempts to analyze how Huang, Bi-Yung wrote about Hong Kong and its people with different identities and how they became insecure and numb under this transformation in sovereignty. Moreover, it also illustrates how the implicit violence in the disguise of peaceful daily life caused the pursuit of death in people. In addition, it depicts the destiny view that lives are too hard to be continued; therefore, people can not help to be violent.
