摘要

槟城崇灵中学作为一所华文教育机构,在马来亚时代享有盛誉。在第二次世界大战槟城沦陷期间,八名教师和四十六名学生的死亡标志着槟城知识界历史上的一段痛苦的篇章,表现在他们的创伤感和对华文教育危机的反思。CLHS在战后重新开放后,学校成立了纪念委员会,通过追悼仪式,建立纪念碑,出版纪念书籍来纪念牺牲的教师和学生。本文运用法国历史学家皮埃尔·诺拉(Pierre Nora)的理论,探讨了中高师生的牺牲如何形成了随后的les lieux de m moire (sites of memory),记录了文学谱系和文化断裂的困境,从而发挥了复兴和延续中华民族精神的作用。从这个意义上说,作为“记忆场所”的中教师生的牺牲,已经成为民族社区集体记忆的一部分。当我们审视战争记忆文本是如何建构的时候,CLHS悲剧嵌入了中国教育与日本占领时期华人社区的民族情感之间的联系。

Chinese-Language Memories under the Conflagration of War
As a Chinese-medium educational institution, Chung Ling High School (CLHS) in Penang enjoyed an illustrious reputation in the Malayan era. During the fall of Penang in World War II, the deaths of eight teachers and forty-six students from CLHS marked a painful episode in the history of Penang's intellectual community, manifested in their sense of trauma and reflections on the crisis of Chinese education. After CLHS was reopened during the postwar period, the school set up a committee to commemorate the sacrifices of its teachers and students through memorial services, erection of a monument, and publication of tribute books. Applying the theories of French historian Pierre Nora, this article discusses how the ensuing les lieux de mémoire (sites of memory) formed through the sacrifices of CLHS teachers and students, inscribing the plight of literary lineage and cultural severance, which in turn takes on the role of reviving and perpetuating the ethnic Chinese spirit. In this sense, the sacrifices of the CLHS teachers and students as “sites of memory” have become a part of the ethnic community's collective memory. When we examine how war memory texts are constructed, the CLHS tragedy embeds the connections between Chinese education and the ethnic sentiments of the Chinese community during the Japanese occupation.
