十年前，港島一棟即將清拆的唐樓意外「出土」了一堆文件，當中一本日記，記下中國海軍軍官林炳堯二戰時在歐洲的見聞，包括經歷關鍵戰役：D-Day。

去年，當策展團隊開展深入研究時，難度有如偵探查案：究竟在散亂無序的手稿、家書、生活單據中，如何能有序重組林炳堯的人生故事？又如何考證他赴英受訓及參與D-Day的經過？

帶著滿腹問號，團隊就這樣東奔西走「蒐證」，到歐亞多地翻查檔案文件、進行訪問，結果發現沿途遇到的人和事，與歷史本身同等精彩，有離奇的相遇，也有催淚的時刻。展覽閉幕在即，兩位策展人將分享展覽背後的各種點滴，談及他們這一年半的高低起伏。

Ten years ago, a trove of papers was accidentally discovered inside an old, soon-to-be-demolished tenement building on Hong Kong Island. Among these papers was a diary documenting the wartime experiences of Lam Ping-yu, a Chinese naval officer who participated in one of the most important European battles of World War II — D-Day.

Since the project’s commencement last year, the curatorial team have found that conducting in-depth research is very much like detective work: how do we reassemble Lam Ping-yu’s life story with only bits and pieces of manuscripts, letters, receipts? How do we verify his claims of training in Britain and participation in D-Day?

Almost blindly, the team jumped into “collecting evidence” from multiple sources in Europe and Asia by digging through archives and interviewing people who might possess pertinent information. This research journey turned out to be as wonderful as the story itself, filled with incredible encounters and touching moments. As the exhibition is soon coming to a close, our two curators will be sharing various behind-the-scenes anecdotes to illustrate their ups and downs over the past year and a half.

摘要

魯迅「別求新聲於異邦」，依靠域外資源創成其獨具特色的文學與思想，其中德語「世界文學」資源扮演了舉足輕重的角色。由於留學日本，青年魯迅得以置身德語圖書雜志全球流動的網絡中，接觸新鮮的文學出版形態與時新的文學作品。他借助德語世界文學雜志《來自外國語》（Aus fremden Zungen）與「雷克拉姆萬有文庫」（Reclam’s Universal Bibliothek），別出心裁創造出《域外小說集》。一方面，魯迅借鑒《來自外國語》的思想理念、新穎編排、廣博視野與精心設計，移植又轉化了其中蘊含的民族主義與世界主義的辯證關系。另一方面，魯迅從德語世界文學叢書中揀取三篇小說譯成中文，更從中選定《域外小說集》近半數篇目。細讀這些未被翻譯的作品，例如芬蘭作家丕佛林多（Päivärinta）的《荒地》《術人》，可以進一步探究青年魯迅對於民族主義與世界主義的理解。以此為基礎，本講座嘗試辨析德語、日語資源如何分別而又交互地影響青年魯迅。 

講者簡介

崔文東，現任香港中文大學中國語言及文學系助理教授，從事近現代中國文學研究，尤其關注梁啟超、魯迅等文化巨擘。他於香港中文大學中國語言及文學系取得哲學博士學位，並曾任哈佛燕京學社訪問學人。迄今已在《文學評論》、《中國現代文學研究叢刊》、《漢學研究》、《中國文哲研究集刊》等學術刊物發表論文十數篇，先後獲得教育部人文社會科學研究青年基金項目、香港大學教育資助委員會傑出青年學者計劃以及優配研究金、香港藝術發展局項目資助，並曾兩度榮膺宋淇翻譯研究論文紀念獎（含評判提名獎）。
