血雨華年

par 顏純鈎 ...

那年月，他們以野蠻為時尚，將理想寫在邪惡的旗幟上。50年後，回首過去，一個紅衛兵頭目將血色青春寫成的長篇小說。「人是好人，東西是好東西，為什麼我們心裏想的，和這場運動要批判的，都顛倒了？」那是烈火烹油的1966年夏天，幾乎一點星火就能引燃。一場摧枯拉朽的革命運動，迅速席捲全國⋯⋯在歷史的風口浪尖上逐浪前行的年輕人，越勇敢越革命、莽撞呼嘯。造反過後，有人成為烈士，有人當上叛徒；他們背負著各自傷痕累累的人生，等候時代的發落。《血雨華年》投影出一個個被文革劫毀的人生，年輕的心靈在經歷生離死別後，背向集體的「時代精神」自我反省—人性高於階級性。世上沒什麼造反派、保守派之分，沒有誰比誰更乾淨，只有善人和惡人之分。《血雨華年》是有關文革的另類「苦戀」，是對天塌地裂的一種「名狀」。 **—劉紹銘，香港嶺南大學中文系榮休講座教授** 在文化大革命結束四十多年後，《血雨華年 ...
