王默人

本名王安泰,1934年1月4日生,祖籍湖北省黃梅縣,生長於北平。1948年因戰亂流亡至台灣後,於台灣師範學院國文系旁聽多年。曾任台灣民防廣播電視台編輯、記者,《中華日報》、《經濟日報》記者,《中國時報》撰述委員暨「人間副刊」編輯,《聯合報》記者等。

1950 年代開始寫小說,刊載於各大報章雜誌著作逾百篇,其創作所關注主題多為工商社會在歷史轉型中所引發的價值衝突與情感震盪,對底層人物在困境中的掙扎描繪甚深,曾出版《孤雛淚》、《留不住的腳步》、《周金木的喜劇》、《沒有翅膀的鳥》、《阿蓮回到峽谷溪》等多部小說。

1985年離台赴美,曾任舊金山《國際日報》採訪主任、《中報》經理、海華電視總編輯等。期間少有新文學作品,直至2015年再次出版自傳小說《跳躍的地球》,揭露自身年幼漂流赴台,卻又在壯年時遭遇威權政治施壓、被迫逃離台灣的經歷,獲國立清華大學頒授名譽文學博士學位。2017年透過清大台文所蒐羅歷年著作,與《跳躍的地球》共同收入《王默人小說全集》,並獲國立清華大學推薦角逐諾貝爾文學獎。

2020年12月30日,因心臟病突發於美國舊金山家中辭世,享壽86歲。
Wang Mo-Jen was born Wang An-Tai on January 4, 1934, in Huangmei County, Hubei Province, and grew up in Beiping. Because of the Chinese civil war, Wang fled to Taiwan in 1948, where for many years he audited courses at the Chinese Department of the Taiwan Provincial Teachers College (today’s National Taiwan Normal University). Wang has worked as editor and reporter of the Taiwan Civil Defense Broadcasting Station, reporter for China Daily News and Economic Daily News, writer at the China Times and editor of the Ren Jian literary supplement, and reporter at United Daily News.

Wang started writing in the 1950s. He has published over a hundred works in major newspapers and magazines. Most of his works focus on clashing values and emotional upheavals caused by historical transitions in industrial and commercial society. Wang’s portrayal of the struggles of the lower classes is particularly profound. Published novels include Solitary Tears, Some Other Place, Chou Chin-Mu’s Comedy, The Wingless Bird, and Alian Returns to the River Gorge.

Wang left Taiwan for the United States in 1985. In San Francisco, he worked as chief reporter of the International Daily News, director of the Central News, and editor-in-chief of Haihwa TV. He wrote many new literary works during this period. In 2015, he published his autobiographic novel The Earth Is Dancing, revealing his experience of how he ended up in Taiwan when he was young but was forced to leave Taiwan in the prime of his life due to the repressive authoritarian government. He has received an honorary doctorate from National Tsing Hua University. In 2017, the Institute of Taiwan Literature of National Tsing Hua University collected the works of Wang Mo-Jen and published them together with The Earth Is Dancing in The Complete Works of Wang Mo-Jen. The university also submitted a nomination for a Nobel Prize in Literature for Wang Mo-Jen.

Wang Mo-Jen passed away of a heart attack in his San Francisco home on December 30, 2020, having reached the age of 86.
