摘要

《迢遞歸鄉路》是北京崑崙出版社出版的台灣當代作家周嘯虹(1932-2012)的散文集，其中有部分作品縷述一九四八至一九四九年間，一個十六歲少年隻身流亡的經歷，具有「大歷史小註腳」的特殊意義。本文擬就此文集以逃難為題材的系列作品，探索作者在進入中年之後回顧少年時期亂世求生的反思與體悟；而周嘯虹雖採淡定閒適的筆觸，描摹時代巨變與人生離亂，行文詼諧紀實，卻強烈映現遭逢戰亂的庶民無奈與真悲無聲而哀的情境，有評論者因此指稱「絮語閒話鑄心史」是這位作家散文作品不容忽視的特點。再則，究竟類此鱗爪片羽的個人敘事，在對照大歷史的概括論述時，於文學美文的欣賞層次外，有無它更深層的文史意涵﹖凡此，均為本文探索重點。

＂The long road returning home＂, published by Kunlung, Beijing, is a collection of essays by CHOU HSIAO-HUNG (1932-2012), a contemporary writer in Taiwan. Some parts of this book narrate stories of a 16-year-old teen on his flee during 1948 to 1949. They can be regarded as footnotes to a big book about the troubled times. First, this article will focus on these fleeing stories and try to investigate how they reflect the author's introspection and comprehension as he looked back at his teenage life at his middle age. These stories were written in a humorous and calm way, but still able to detailed the real, daily struggles and sufferings of small guys in a tumultuous world. ＂To create history of mind from chatty and discourse＂ could characterize his works. Furthermore, this research will also examine, if personal stories like these can not only be seen as literary works, but also provide any profound cultural and historical meaning by documenting the small pieces of history.
