最近有媒体报道称,日本大地震后出现“结婚潮”现象。这不禁让人想到张爱玲的小说《倾城之恋》:香港的陷落,成就了主人公范柳原和白流苏的姻缘。地震是天灾,小说里是人祸,同样都是身处危难环境下的人们。小说并非只是戏剧化的虚构,香港陷落时,张爱玲正在香港大学读书,亲眼目睹空袭结束后一些男女登记结婚的情景。小说《倾城之恋》的结尾处表达了张爱玲心中的惶惑:在这不可理喻的世界里,谁知道什么是因,什么是果?那么所谓“倾城之恋”到底是不可理喻,还是存在着规律呢? Recently, some media reports said that after the great earthquake in Japan, the phenomenon of “marriage tide” emerged. This can not but make people think of Eileen Chang’s novel “Allure Love”: the fall of Hong Kong, the achievements of the hero Fan Liuban and white tassel marriage. Earthquake is a natural disaster, novels are man-made disasters, the same people are in distress environment. The novel is not merely a dramatic fiction. When Hong Kong fell, Eileen Chang was studying at the University of Hong Kong and witnessed the registration of some men and women after the air strikes. At the end of the novel “Love of the City” expresses Zhang Ai-ling’s apprehension in mind: Who knows what is the cause and what is the consequence in this unreasonable world? So what is the “unrequited love” in the end is unreasonable or does it exist? With the law?
