摘要

二十世纪八、九十年代的都市情爱小说构成马华文学乡土话语之外的“新声”，而李忆莙的中篇小说《风华正茂花亭亭》是其中少有的描写现代化都市跨族裔婚恋的作品。小说对婚恋关系的描写，展现出马来西亚多元族裔文化与现代都市文化相互交融形成的特定社会语境，以及因之造就的情爱伦理。小说情节的推进，与人物的伦理关系变化、伦理身份选择密切相关。本文从文学伦理学批评的角度入手分析小说文本，观照文化语境与文学书写之间的关系，从情爱书写看伦理表达。借由作者从族裔传统、家庭责任及个体价值追求的角度对情爱困境的呈现，探析多元文化并存的都市化社会环境对婚恋观念、性别秩序及人的价值评判标准的影响。

Abstract

The emergence of urban romance novels in the 1980s and 1990s constituted a “new voice” outside the local discourse of Malaysian Chinese literature, and Lee Yoke Kim’s novella “Feng Hua Zheng Mao Hua Ting Ting” is one of the few works that describes cross-ethnic marriage in modern cities. The novel’s writing about marriage relationships shows the specific social context formed by the integration of Malaysia's multi-ethnic culture and modern urban culture, as well as the love ethics created by it. The advancement of the novel’s plot is closely related to the evolution of the characters’ ethical relationships and the selection of their ethical identities. This article analyzes the novel text from the perspective of literary ethical criticism, with a focus on the interaction between cultural context and literary writing, exploring ethical expression within the context of love writing. By analyzing the novel’s presentation of the love dilemmas from the views of national traditions, family responsibilities, and the pursuit of personal value, this paper examines the impacts of the multicultural and urbanized social environment on the concepts of marriage and love, gender order and the standards of human value judgment..
