Reminiscence of Fleeting Time往事經年流水夢

About this book書籍介紹

This collection brings together nineteen nonfiction accounts by Sonia Hu, fourteen of which appeared in Taiwan’s Biographical Literature journal. Her work grows from a search for family history, connecting personal recollection with the lives of earlier generations.本書收錄胡桃十九篇非虛構紀實文章，其中十四篇曾刊登於臺灣《傳記文學》。作者從追尋家族往事出發，將個人回憶與祖輩的生命歷程連結起來。

An encounter with photographs and a handwritten poetry manuscript by her great-grandfather Hu Shiyu helped set that search in motion. From family stories to the history surrounding them, Hu retrieves fragments of lives she came to understand after many years in the United States. The essays preserve people and experiences that might otherwise disappear, creating a small time capsule within the larger flow of history.一次看見曾祖父胡石予的照片與手抄詩卷，促成了她的尋根之旅。從家族故事到它們所處的歷史背景，作者打撈移居美國多年後才逐漸瞭解的人生片段，以文字保存可能被時光湮沒的人與事，構成歷史洪流中的一粒時光膠囊。
