在港大尋覓張愛玲 Eileen Chang at HKU

[Eileen Chang at HKU]
Celebrated writer Eileen Chang studied at HKU from 1939 to 1942, but was forced to terminate her studies to return to Shanghai when HK came under Japanese occupation during wartime. Her brief experience in Hong Kong made an indelible mark on her, rendering the years following her return to Shanghai the most productive and creative period of her writing life.

The video “In search of Eileen Chang at HKU,” produced by the Development and Alumni Office, marks the centenary of Chang birthday on September 30.

【在港大尋覓張愛玲】
張愛玲 (1920-1995)是香港大學校友,短短兩年多的香港經驗對她產生了巨大的衝擊。她於1939-42年就讀港大文學院,因香港淪陷、大學停學而被迫輟學返回上海。回上海後的幾年成為她創作的高峰期,奠定了她在文壇「一代才女」的地位。張在1943年發表的小說,一半關乎香港,包括《第一爐香》和《傾城之戀》。她在紀錄港大讀書生活的散文《燼餘錄》中提到, 戰時香港所見所聞,對她有「切身的、劇烈的影響」。

今年適逢張愛玲誕辰百年,也是她逝世二十五週年。我們在港大尋覓張愛玲的足跡和她的時代。

**視頻的上海話版將於日內發布。
