简介:新加坡曾经出现过一群性格坚韧的时代女性—妈姐。SKMBT_C22015121712060

妈姐来自广东农村,在异地贡献出最美丽的青春。在急促的城市变化中,徐徐老去的生命已经被逐渐遗忘。

上世纪30年代,英殖民地政府修改新加坡的移民政策,限制男性入境,中国女子取代男人出洋。在雇主眼中,白衣黑裤的妈姐是勤快、忠诚、信任的象征。对滞留家乡的父母侄甥而言,定期寄回家的衬衣汇款,是生命的希望。

妈姐受到家乡的习俗的影响,选择独身。她们将一生写在骨气里,淡定无求中体现了中华民族传统女性的高贵品质。

女人离乡背井讨生活,除了必须面对男人同样面对的乡情之外,还要学会保护自己,免受侮辱欺凌。那股逆境求存、坚守岗位的精神是值得永远牢记的本土文化资产。

简介: The Netherlands have a long and proud history in Chinese studies. This volume collects not only articles that trace the historical development of Chinese studies in the Netherlands from the middle of the nineteenth century to the present and beyond, but also studies that deal with Dutch research in specific disciplines within Chinese studies. Chinese studies in the Netherlands originated from the needs of the Dutch colonial administration in the Dutch East Indies, but developed a strong philological emphasis in the first part of the twentieth century, to turn increasingly towards disciplinary research on modern and contemporary China in the last few decades.
