C .在这段时间里,我看到了一幅画。人们不禁想到19世纪中国在美国的淘金热,或者中国移民到加拿大、新西兰和澳大利亚。与在这些大陆上的欧洲定居者不同,中国人被视为临时居民,并被指责为机会主义者,他们不想为他们的移民目的地做出贡献,而只是想赚快钱寄回家……他们也想(其中许多人确实如此)通过在家乡建造宏伟的房屋来为他们的家庭和祖先带来荣耀。在广东的台山和开平,这些地方是淘金热期间大多数早期移民到新殖民地的家乡,许多这样的房子保存完好,但无人居住,它们成为历史遗产,因为建造它们的人没有回来,在其他地方定居。(2018年,192 - 93)

Ning Zhang, J. Field
“Liu Yuzhen Is Dead” is one of the anecdotes from Luo Town collected in Zhang Ning’s 2019 work Hallucinations. Applying a style spare in description but rich and colorful in dialogue, Zhang deftly sketches characters in small-town China. Anyone who has worked as a medical professional, or has one in the family, will relate to tales about the patients they have seen. See the full collection for more drama involving Liu Yuzhen and her blustery husband, Luo Changsheng. Originally published in Renmin wenxue (People’s Literature) issue 1, 2019.

This section contains seven poems written by Chinese poets, writers, and scholars during the difficult times of the COVID-19 outbreak in China. They were the real-time inscriptions of the nation’s emotional trauma from the deadly pandemic that, unfortunately, has not been given an entirely open outlet even to this date. Most of these poems were written during home isolation, expressing the poets’ shock, sorrow, and indignation vis-à-vis the calamity, while a couple of them offer firsthand experiences from Wuhan, the original epicenter of the coronavirus.
