| 摘要 | This paper makes the case that the teleological historiography advocated by Communist propaganda is in fact rejected by the new generation of Tibetan and Chinese writers who discern alternative patterns of history. I demonstrate my thesis by analyzing five texts by two Tibetans, namely, Tashi Dawa and Alai, as well a one Han Chinese, Ge Fei. Tashi Dawa's two magic-realist stories bend the linear twentieth century into a circular life span but blank out when the British and Chinese forces invaded Lhasa in the first decade of the 1900s and early 1950s respectively. The 1903-4 military expedition led by Col. Francis Younghusband, however, is picked up in Ge Fei's novella, which ends in a Buddhist monk's assertion that the Earth is triangular, suggestive of the tripodic Sino-Tibetan-British relations. Infused with tears and blood from 1950-51 to the Cultural Revolution, Alai's intertextual biographies of his father, who is a fallen noble, and his father's foe and friend, a wandering Red Army veteran, are personal searches for identities and memories lost under Chinese rule. These pieces, complementary to each other in the time frame, at once rewrite the local history of the plateau and present alternative models for Chinese historiography. |
