马来西亚华文儿童文学（下简称为马华儿童文学）的发展，像所有文学体裁一样，是一直紧密配合着社会的历史、政治、文化生态变迁而成的。然而，马华儿童文学自 1924 年开始，虽然偶尔出现了令人鼓舞的突破性发展，然而总 体来说，发展极其缓慢着，有些时候甚至停滞不前。考其原因，有因为政治的问题，有的因为过度输入其它地方的华文文学，压抑了本地的创作意欲，也因为本地社会对青年人的角色及认同不够，令马来西亚的阅读市场上，长期出现 了真空，忽视以年轻人为阅读对象的读物，令年轻读者要不是选择不适合自己的儿童文学，就是生吞活剥成年人深奥的种类繁多的文学作品。这现象直至到许友彬的出现，才出现了彻底的改变。许友彬的最初并不是专门创作青少年文学的作家。在 2006 年后，他意识到本地青少年文学的匮乏后，不但利用了 7 年的时间创作了 13 本专以青少年作为阅读对象的小说，更大力在背后推动，包括经营出版社及在各大小学推动青少年文学风气，他的目的，就是要填补马华文学出现的断层。他的努力，直到 2006 年，他的小说《七天》面世，可以说是改写了马来西亚青少年文学的出版状况，出版后不但大受欢迎，更获得第一届马汉儿童文学双年奖。许友彬不但改变了马华创作与出版情况，更奠下了新的文学类型，开拓了丰富的文学题材。以后许多新兴作家崛起都以他为榜样，继往开来，为青少年小说的创作与出版奋斗下去，亦是这个原因， 马华儿童文学及青少年文学场域开始变得活跃。本论文尝试结合马来西亚的社会、历史、文化及政治背景，结合社会学中有关青少年理论及读者理论等，探讨许友彬的青少年小说系列在 2006-2011 年在马华文学的贡献及意义。 Chinese Children’s Literature in Malaysia had always been deeply influenced by her political and social conditions. Yet, despite of these, the development of Chinese Children’s Literature in Malaysia had been one of slow progress since it was established in 1924. This trend has been largely put down to the political interventions in the country, as well as the influx of Chinese Literature from overseas, leading to the suppression of local literature. In addition, the lack of the societal role in identifying the importance of teenage literature had led to the teenage literature in the Malaysian book market. Hence, teenagers only have the option of either literature for young children, one that is not compatible for them; or the literature for adults, which might prove beyond their abilities. The situation started to change, however, with Khor Ewe Pin’s emergence in the industry. Khor did not start out specializing in teenage literature. In 2006, he started to realize the deprivation of teenage literature in the local market. He authored and published 13 teenage novels in 7 years and expanded the industry with the establishment of a publishing company and the promotion of teenage literature in schools. His main motivation in doing so was to fill in the void in Malaysian Chinese Literature. His hard work paid out when Seven Days, published in 2006, gained both popularity and critical acclaim and, in turn, changing the Chinese writing and publishing landscape in Malaysia. Today, we see many more new writers working on teenage literature, breathing new life into the landscape of Chinese Children’s Literature in Malaysia. The research undertaken for this paper seeks to explore the literary adaptations of Khor Ewe Pin’s teenage novels published in 2006-2011 as brought about by the social, political and cultural transformation in Malaysia.
