具体描述
As someone who has studied history for much of my life, I have found the past fascinating. But it has always been some grand and even intimidating universe that I wanted to unpick and explain to myself.
Wang Gungwu is one of Asia’s most important public intellectuals. He is best-known for his explorations of Chinese history in the long view, and for his writings on the Chinese diaspora. With Home is Not Here, the historian of grand themes turns to a single life history: his own.
In this volume, Wang talks about his multicultural upbringing and life under British rule. He was born in Surabaya, Java, but his parents’ orientation was always to China. Wang grew up in the plural, multi-ethnic town of Ipoh, Malaya (now Malaysia). He learned English in colonial schools and was taught the Confucian classics at home. After the end of WWII and Japanese occupation, he left for the National Central University in Nanjing to study alongside some of the finest of his generation of Chinese undergraduates. The victory of Mao Zedong’s Communist Party interrupted his education, and he ends this volume with his return to Malaya.
Wise and moving, this is a fascinating reflection on family, identity, and belonging, and on the ability of the individual to find a place amid the historical currents that have shaped Asia and the world.

评分##...nothing was permanent, that change was around the corner and that people could easily be cut off from its roots.這是王賡武先生的「山河故人」。估計完整中譯本又沒機會在中國出版了。

评分##在当前的形势下读完了这本书，心情非常沉重。颠沛流离的几年作者一直没有停止自我教育，走街串巷学会了各种方言，去父亲工作的图书馆帮忙看了许多英文小说，听英文广播熟悉不同口音。
评分##本来以为这本书是冷门，借过来发现里面4、5张借书单，啊，我伍村真的还是有读书人的啊！
