中新网青岛8月11日电 (胡耀杰王宇轩)2024年是老舍诞辰125周年，作为中国现代文学史上的一颗璀璨明珠，老舍以其卓越的文学成就，成为新中国首位荣获“人民艺术家”称号的作家。自20世纪40年代起，老舍的作品跨越国界，欧美、日本、东南亚等国家和地区曾多次掀起“老舍热”。其创作的《茶馆》等作品更是被多个国家和地区改编为舞台剧、话剧搬上舞台，成为世界文学宝库中的瑰宝。
老舍的文学作品为何能拥有世界影响与魅力？其文学内核与精神世界为世界文学发展作出了何种贡献？中国老舍研究会副会长、青岛大学文学院教授魏韶华近日就此接受中新社“东西问”专访。
魏韶华表示，老舍在英国的生活和工作经历对其文学创作产生了深远影响。在英国，老舍广泛涉猎欧洲文学，深受西方文学的滋养，并开始将文学视为自己钟爱的事业。老舍的长篇小说《二马》更是直接将故事背景置于英国伦敦，通过中国父子两代人与西方文化的相遇、交锋与碰撞，深入探讨中西方文化差异。这部小说不仅体现了老舍对中西方文化的深刻理解，也展示了他受到西方文学影响而形成的独特创作风格。
老舍的作品之所以能够跨越东西方，展现世界性，在于他能够以深厚的文化底蕴和敏锐的观察力，捕捉和展现人性的共通之处，以及不同文化背景下的冲突与融合。他的作品不仅反映了中国的社会现实，也反映了人类普遍的生存状态和情感体验，因此能够跨越国界，引起全球读者的共鸣。
老舍的作品在世界文学中的地位，不仅在于他的文学成就，更在于他对世界文学的贡献。他的作品丰富了世界文学的多样性，促进了不同文化之间的交流和理解。老舍的文学成就，不仅是中国文学的骄傲，也是世界文学的宝贵财富。

HQ, Qingdao, August 11, 2023 (Xinhua) – In 2024, Lao She, one of the bright stars in the history of modern Chinese literature, will mark his 125th birth anniversary. As the first writer in New China to be honored with the title of “People’s Artist,” Lao She’s outstanding literary achievements have made him a celebrated figure. Since the 1940s, Lao She’s works have transcended national boundaries, sparking “Lao She fever” in various countries and regions such as Europe, America, Japan, and Southeast Asia. His plays like “The Teahouse” have been adapted into stage productions in multiple countries and regions, becoming treasures in the world’s literary treasure trove.
What makes Lao She’s literary works so influential and captivating on the global stage? What contributions have they made to the development of world literature? Recently, Professor Wei Xiaohua, Vice President of the China Lao She Research Association and Professor of the College of Literature at Qingdao University, accepted an exclusive interview with Xinhua News Agency’s “East-West Question” to discuss this topic.
Professor Wei Xiaohua stated that Lao She’s life and work in Britain had a profound impact on his literary creation. While in Britain, Lao She immersed himself in European literature and was deeply nourished by Western literature, beginning to view literature as his beloved career. Lao She’s long novel “Er Ma” directly sets the story in London, England, exploring the encounters, confrontations, and collisions between a Chinese father and son generation and Western culture, and delving into the differences between Eastern and Western cultures. This novel not only reflects Lao She’s profound understanding of Eastern and Western cultures but also showcases his unique writing style formed by the influence of Western literature.
The reason Lao She’s works can cross East and West and display universality lies in his ability to capture and reveal the commonalities of human nature, as well as the conflicts and融合 of different cultural backgrounds, with his profound cultural foundation and keen observation. His works not only reflect the social reality of China but also the universal survival conditions and emotional experiences of humanity, thus resonating with global readers across borders.
The status of Lao She’s works in the world literature world is not only due to his literary achievements but also to his contributions to world literature. His works enrich the diversity of world literature and promote cultural exchanges and understanding among different cultures. Lao She’s literary achievements are not only the pride of Chinese literature but also a precious wealth of world literature.
