摘要
19世纪中期以后,中国南方广东、福建等地民众离开故土,跨越海洋或国界,迁移东南亚等地谋生发展,在此过程中产生大量侨批。本文从清代光绪、宣统年间(1881—1910年)在东南亚谋生发展的叶家三兄弟寄给广东嘉应州的家人、亲族等的侨批入手,了解近代中国民众的跨域经验与网络、华人移民与中国留守家庭的关系及情感交流等,从而理解近现代华人移民身处异国他乡、却与中国"离而不散"的历史现象,以及现象背后的家庭、社群和情感根源及其外部支持条件——华人侨批运营系统与华人跨域网络的运行。
Since the mid-19^(th) century,a large number of people from coastal Guangdong and Fujian in southeastern China migrated overseas to find a living in Southeast Asian countries,in whose process a huge amount of remittance letters emerged.This paper,based on the study of the remittance letters sent by three brothers of a Ye family to their family members and other relatives in Jiaying,Guangdong during the Guangxu and Xuantong reigns(1881—1910)in late Qing Dynasty,intends to explore the trans-national/regional experience and network of the Chinese diaspora,and their relations and emotional connections with their families left behind in China,in order to demonstrate the historical phenomenon of"though leaving,ties remain"with their families left in the homeland among the Chinese transnational immigrants in modern history.Moreover,the paper further investigates the roots of the phenomenon in the terms of family,community,and emotion,and how the Chinese remittance system and trans-national/regional network supported the phenomenon of"though leaving,ties remain"among the Chinese diaspora.
