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##王赓武的南京之旅蛮有意思的：既是西学/人文教育（不同于殖民地“有限且功利”的课程），也是政治教育（华人缺乏参政权）

评分##看完这个1947年的南京，人才济济但又充斥着战争前的人心惶惶，想到木心自传里1948年的上海和江浙，再想到chinese lessons里面那个1980年代闭塞又贫穷的南京，可叹白云苍狗。
评分##王赓武的自传停笔于马来亚大学求学期间，只字不提其本人后来风云际会的人生。 印象深刻的是，全书行文走笔的一种平淡的冷静，读地过程中就像是好莱坞拍摄的中国题材电影惯有的那种旁白一样娓娓铺陈。 王从小到青年的人生经历正像是海外华人的某种缩影，血缘、乡缘、学缘与业缘的华人网络紧密结合，互相缠绕，从中国东南一直延伸出去。而他们在海外的血缘、乡缘、学缘与业缘也为华人这个概念丰富了更多值得留在母国的华人心平气和地去了解和聆听的内容。
