Abstract
Xue Yiwei is a contemporary Chinese writer based in Montreal, Canada. Xue’s writing is stylistically elegant, linguistically beautiful, but at times intellectually challenging. Influenced by French existentialism, Xue has a dazzling talent for revealing the absurdity and emptiness of history in his works. In this early short story, first published in 1999, the first-person narrator accidently finds out the secret of her late husband just before his funeral, which makes her disillusioned about her marriage. This story was collected in The Dolphin That Doesn’t Want to Leave (Buken liqu de haitun) as “Yu kuangfeng yiqi lüxing” by the Shanghai Literature and Art Publishing House in 2012.
薛义伟,中国当代作家,现居加拿大蒙特利尔。薛的作品风格优雅,语言优美,但有时在智力上具有挑战性。在法国存在主义的影响下,薛在作品中表现出了鲜明的历史荒诞与空虚的才华。在这部1999年首次出版的早期短篇小说中,第一人称叙述者在已故丈夫葬礼前意外发现了他的秘密,这让她对自己的婚姻感到幻灭。这个故事于2012年被上海文艺出版社收录在《不想离开的海豚》(Buken liq de haitun)中,名为“俞”。
