建豐二年:新中國烏有史

Rate this book
這是一部烏有歷史寫就的政治寓言。

一九七八年,國民大會在南京「選舉」少總統建豐(蔣經國)成為第六任中華民國總統。建豐二年已成就斐然,大國既已復興崛起,萬國競相來朝,國民見多識廣,外交也不再仰人鼻息……但就在我們遙想國民黨的統治遠勝共產黨時,小說又告訴我們,國民黨的高壓統治其實未嘗稍歇,國共兩黨的路徑有時南轅北轍,有時卻又驚人相似……

陳冠中穿梭兩岸歷史人事,移花接木,他有意翻轉歷史,思索新的未來可能。這是《建豐二年》的錯置歷史,在混淆中卻識見出合理精采之所在。

虽说国内情形也是一厢情愿,但更离谱的是国际局势预判.即陈冠中用的是现实中1949后的国际局势套进小说内的国内局势进行了"酌情加减".譬如韩战,苏联的远东计划以及东南亚情势.我比较同意的是刘文辉部成为泰缅孤军,新疆成为苏联之中亚加盟国,西藏成为"香港特区",中国文学佳作迭出.至于其余诸如苏联基本退出远东,CCP远走克里米亚之类都是文学家一拍脑门之词.倒是麦师奶和麦阿斗一章还有点人间烟火味.

比较实际,没有假设国民党会自然民主化,但至少不会造成大跃进、文革这种可怕的灾难。倒向美国也造成了中国会像韩国第五共和时期一样至少维持表面上的四大自由。作者假设了国民党在内战中胜出的关键是蒋介石没有接受马歇尔的调停,新一军在四平大败解放军后乘胜追击把东北解放军赶进了俄爹境内。这代表了国府在反思为何丢了大陆后一贯的甩锅思维:是美国人横插一手误了事儿。

The author's other book, 盛世, is a political fable that has become the reality. I like it well enough even though there isn't much of plot. This book, 建豐二年:新中國烏有史, is an alternative history about what could happen if Chinese Communism Party lost to Chinese Nationalist Party in 1949. Again there is not much of plot, except the chapter about a mother and son. The author spends most of the pages describing the alternative political landscape. It reads like an alternative history instead of a fiction of alternative history. The Great Chinese Famine and The Culture Revolution never happened. How about that?

The book stopped at 1979, on the suspended note that this alternative China may or may not eventually become a modern democratic country.

去年頗有點話題性的一本小說,最近圖書館看到就借回來,一趟旅程就看完了。

歷史假設一向是個吸引人的議題,但它頂多只有“共識”,而不會有“答案”,畢竟我們永遠都是基於事實去討論,而不可能去驗證假設的結果。就像“子午谷奇謀”已經吵了一千多年,相信它可以繼續再戰下去,只要還有人對它有興趣。

不過,筆者認為像“國民黨如果沒有輸了內戰...”這樣的議題,通常背後還是隱藏著一些對於現實的不滿。即便是在台灣,緬懷過去蔣經國的“美好時光”,也是大有人在,當然,相信這是基於經濟上而不是政治上。

陳冠中在寫這本小說當然是做足了功課,雖然是虛擬歷史,如果天馬行空的假設就只是純幻想了。熟悉近代史的人應該都能看出作者的推論無疑是基於現實做出,儘管他做了點技術性修飾跟再詮釋。對於這樣作品,給予一個“我差不多都快以為這是真的了”,應該是最好的評價吧。

很明顯,陳冠中沒有寫完,他要怎麼處裡接下來的“歷史轉折”,是頗值得期待的,要是一不小心,可能會前功盡棄吧。現實中,台灣的民主化是內外局勢有發生的條件再加上偶然出現一個李登輝才能大功告成的,筆者個人是覺得帶有運氣成分,如果是在小說中的環境中....

話說回來,記得以前麥田出過《What if?》,印象中第一集也是有類似的命題,只是當時回題的作者是假定國共畫長城線分治,最後南方憑著經濟上的優勢統一,這也是一種假設,有興趣的不妨看看。

看得出來陳冠中的博學多聞以及他創作此本小說所費的心力,但本書內容與我期待所見的不盡相同。

我以為這是一本劇情豐沛的架空歷史小說,然而實際上本書著重於描術架空歷史的設定與背景。讀起來比較像「架空史書」而不是「架空小說」。

這本書與期待的相差很遠。讀來感覺頭大,似乎是內容過於「豐富」的原因,極富流水帳的感覺,就好像絮絮叨叨的一台黨國復讀機,換湯不換藥的感覺。當然,也能看出作者對於國民時期政治用詞的深諳,但是作為文學作品,我想很多讀者都會對這種乾癟的文學處理失望的。不一定只有寫得美美的柔弱散文才有文學美感,《一九八四》也有其文學美感,但是,這本書的文學美感幾乎很難體會到。

作為歷史參考書不合格,作為小說也不夠合格,有些部分似乎過於失衡了,作者不完全背鍋;相比之下,《高堡奇人》或是《日本合眾國》更略勝一籌。

非常不小说,的确更像是虚构的历史。有非常强的映射,但我不觉得合理。不过有很多梗还是需要一定背景才能懂。

作者在書中建構了一個新中國,與其說此書是「虛構歷史小說」不如說是「虛構史書」。

作為小說,此書是不合格的,作者只是硬塞了一堆設定進入書中。每個人物登場時,作者只忙於描寫各項「史實」,看得人昏昏欲睡。

第一次接觸烏有史的文學類型:這本書是對1949-79年國民黨中國的虛構,也是對共產黨中國的暗諷:經濟在想像的國民黨治下發展更迅速,但人權在虛構和現實都得不到保障。
寫作方法和《盛世》類似,都是先描述多個角色再總體收攏;但總有點虎頭蛇尾的感覺。

自己都不时会幻想如果国民党赢了内战的AU,一番搜索之下发现居然真的有人写过关于这样一个世界的书。
当然国民党也不会是完美的执政党,但想象这个中国能有相对更平静、更正常的那几十年,还是让我好向往😢
