『色│戒』로 본 張愛玲의 親日문제

Abstract

In the 40s of the 20th century, in the Shanghai City occupied by Japan, the young Novelist Eileen Chang(张爱玲) actively engaged in his work, which was very different from other literary men who were at that time or devoted themselves to pure academic studies. She did not care about politics and thought that literary creation was irrelevant to the state. However to marry -a national traitor- Hu Lancheng(胡兰成) was the act of bringing in great personal unhappiness. After Japan surrendered, she was accused with a stigma of national traitor, but this seems to be an excessive punishment. In particular, she was intensely accused of being invited to the ’Greater East Asian Literary Conference(大东亚文学者大会)’ and attending the ’Tea party on Literary Discussion(納凉會)’, but this also seems to be an overstatement, since I have never written a single line of suspicion. 24 years after she left China, 『Lust, Caution(色|戒)』 was published, but it faced again with criticism, especially in relation to the Material problem of the novel. Later, Zhang Xiguo(张系国) challenged the national traitor issue again, she resisted but this debate signaled the end of her work.
