归侨作家陈残云曾在南洋生活过一段时间，他于1941年前往新加坡，打算在南侨师范任教，期间经历了日军的残暴统治时期，也曾到访马来亚。1943年，他克服各种磨难，绕道南洋多国回到中国。本篇论文将会以陈残云的五篇文学作品为例，探讨他在作品中呈现的南洋想象。这五篇作品分别为《走出马来亚》、《忧郁的湄公河》、《南洋伯还乡记》、《异国乡情》和《热带惊涛录》。由于抗战期间在南洋的深刻经历，陈残云在回国后出版了不少涉及南洋和华侨题材的作品，且这些作品大多遵循了现实主义文学观念。陈残云以自身经历作为蓝本，采用纪实的写作手法，描绘出真实的、贴近时代的南洋风土人情、殖民者和侵略者的残暴统治、各色各样的人物性格及其命运等等。此外，陈残云的南洋书写也无形中刻画出了一个属于南洋的共同体，无论是在地土著或华侨，在共同生活和经历了残暴殖民者的统治后，成为了一个同样命运的集体，产生了共同的信念与情感。 Returned overseas Chinese writer Chen Canyun once lived in Nanyang for a period. He went to Singapore in 1941 and intended to teach at Nan Chiau Teachers' Training College. Afterwards he experienced the brutal Japanese rule and visited Malaya during that period. In 1943, he overcame various hardships and made his way back to China after traveling through a few nations in Nanyang. This thesis will investigate Chen Canyun's Nanyang imagination in his works using five of his literary works as examples, which are “Zou Chu Ma Lai Ya”, “You Yu De Mei Gong He”, “Nan Yang Bo Huan Xiang Ji”, “Yi Guo Xiang Qing”, and “Re Dai Jing Tao Lu”. After returning to China, Chen Canyun was inspired to write numerous realistic works on “Nanyang” and “overseas Chinese” subjects because of his profound experiences during the war of resistance against Japan in Nanyang. Based on his own experience, Chen Canyun used documentary writing techniques to depict the Nanyang customs, the brutality of the colonists, the various characteristic of characters and their destinies, and so on. In addition, Chen Canyun's Nanyang writing also invisibly portrays a community belonging to Nanyang. Whether they were local natives or overseas Chinese, they gathered as a community with the same fate under the ruthless authority of the colonizers and shared common beliefs and emotions.
