Who
Has Suffered More:
Dr. Zhivago or Dr. Wang ?
|
| |
 |
Unspoken Passions
|
 |
A
Historical Novel Filled with
Love Across the Pacific 1930 –1981 |
| (爱心横贯太平洋的历史小说) |
|
The English fiction is based on my three Chinese novels of
one story, published respectively in California (藕丝情
升华路，2002, left blue), China
(首丘梦痕，2003,
middle white) and Taiwan (藕丝越洋，2004, right
green), with different titles as shown in the photo below. It is touted as A
Romantic Saga of a Dr. Wang with His Lifetime Loves – Spanning Three Decades and
the Pacific. But romance is a cloak, under which Mao’s reign (1949–76), including
the Thought Reform (1950-52), the Great Famine (1959-61), the Cultural Revolution (1966-76), and its intellectuals’ ordeals in China’s
modern history are portrayed. I don’t know who has suffered more, Dr. Zhivago
In the movie “Dr. Zhivago” or Dr. Wang, the protagonist in this novel, but I am
sure Dr. Wang is happier at the ending, as the bachelor finally marries one of
his loves in America
at 50 amid the unspoken passions showering him from his other old loves for decades.
It is tearfully sweet tempered with poignancy.

| This
is really an engrossing story told in three languages worldwide: jianti
Chinese
in China, fanti Chinese in Taiwan,
and now English. It must be something you might wish not to miss. |

When I trained a psychiatrist
in China,
its psychiatry denied the unconscious world in human mind, alleging all learned
conduct was simply conditionally reflexed. So I knew little about the theory of
psychodynamics before I came to America
in 1980. I began learning it during my psychiatric residency at Harbor/UCLA (1981–
85). I have tried to employ the theory in the working, creating characters and
dreams to enrich its expression. As a result it is hailed as A
Living Textbook of Psychodynamics.
