“A Lifetime Is a Promise to Кеер”:

Artistic Expression and Resistance in the Work of Huang Xiang

Huang Xiang in conversation with Michelle Yeh, UC Davis Professor of East Asian Languages and Cultures and translator of Huang Xiang's poetry

Labeled a dissident poet and artist, Huang Xiang, whose work is still banned in China, will offer an artistic performance and a reading from his new book, A Lifetime Is a Promise to Keep: Poems of Huang Xiang. The book, published by IEAS in 2009, contains an introduction to Huang Xiang and his poetry, as well as Chinese and English versions of his poems. Described by Michelle Yeh as "an irrepressible free spirit" sustained by his belief in life through the harrowing experiences of repression, he and his poems speak with vitality and intensity, with humility and gentleness.

Words and images intertwine as Huang Xiang offers a demonstration of his work in visual art.

Program followed by reception and book signing IEAS Conference Room, 2223 Fulton Street, 6th Floor, Berkeley

This event is sponsored by the Institute of East Asian Studies and Center for Chinese Studies, UC Berkeley.

Note, it is unfortunate that the photos of Huang Xiang’s conversation with Professor Michelle Yeh at Institute of East Asian Studies of the University of California, Berkeley, as well as photos of the event, seem to have been lost. These photos are of Huang Xiang signing books, as well as images from when he was invited by the chair of Pen American West Chapter to her house for a gathering, exchange, recitation, and impromptu calligraphy gifts with Western writers. There are also photos from after the event, touring San Francisco with Zhang Ling.

《一生是一個要堅守的承諾》：

黃翔作品中的藝術表現與反抗

黃翔對話加州大學戴維斯分校東亞語言與文化教授、黃翔詩歌翻譯家米歇爾‧葉（奚密）

被稱為異見詩人和藝術家的黃翔，其作品在中國仍被禁止，他將提供藝術表演和朗讀他的新書《一生是一個要堅守的承諾：黃翔的詩》。該書由IEAS於2009年出版，包含黃翔及其詩歌的介紹，以及他的詩歌的中英文版本。奚密形容他是“一種無法壓抑的自由精神”，透過痛苦的壓抑經歷，透過對生命的信念支撐著他和他的詩，充滿活力和強烈，謙遜和溫柔。

黃翔將展示他的視覺藝術作品，文字和圖像交織在一起。

2009 年 9 月 2 日星期三下午 4:00

活動結束後進行招待會和簽書會 在IEAS 會議室，2223 Fulton Street, 6th Floor, UC Berkeley

本次活動由加州大學柏克利分校東亞研究所和中國研究中心主辦。

注，遺憾在加州大學伯克利分校東亞研究所和奚密教授對話的照片，以及活動照片竟然找不到了。這些照片是黃翔簽名售書照片，以及應美國筆會西部分會主席邀請在她家和西部作家們歡聚、交流、朗誦、即興揮毫贈送書法的圖片。活動結束後和張玲遊覽舊金山的照片。

Since the end of 2004, Professor Jialu Mi,

the Associate Professor of Chinese and English、World Languages and Cultures

at The College of New Jersey (TCNJ), as well as the director of the Chinese and Asian Studies Program, has invited Huang Xiang for four visits. These visits included special poetry recitation events and exchanges with students. Each time, Professor Mi co-hosted these events with Professor Michael Robertson, famous scholar of English and American Literature , a Whitman Studies expert and a colleague from the English Department. Both are great admirers of Huang Xiang's work. After each event, Professor Mi on behalf of the college, treated Huang Xiang and the guests to authentic Sichuan cuisine, making each occasion a delightful experience. Huang Xiang and I fondly remember the wonderful and passionate times filled with poetry and cultural exchange at TCNJ. These photos should be from the second time Huang Xiang held a special recitation at TCNJ. The third visit to TCNJ was a recitation with artists, poets, and a tea ceremony master Red Squad. The fourth visit to TCNJ was a recitation with the free verse poet Meng Lang. Meng Lang passed away prematurely due to illness in December 2018; In memory of Meng Lang. Will find and share the photos of the recitations with them later.

自2004 年底以來，現任美國新澤西州新澤西學院英文系及世界語言與文化系副教授、中文及亞洲研究學部主任米家路教授前後4次邀請黃翔訪問他們TCNJ，舉辦專場詩歌朗誦會並與學生交流，每次米教授都是和他們學校著名英美文學學者、惠特曼研究專家邁克爾·羅伯遜教授共同主持，他們倆都是黃翔的大知音，每次活動結束，米教授都代表學校宴請黃翔和嘉賓們吃正宗川菜，賓主盡歡。黃翔和我非常懷念與他們在TCNJ一起做文化交流的美好與充滿激情與詩意的時光。這些照片應該是第二次在TCNJ做專場朗誦的照片。第三次訪問TCNJ是與藝術家、詩人、茶藝師一起朗誦，第四次訪問TCNJ是與自由詩人孟浪一起朗誦。孟浪2018 年12 月因病英年早逝，懷念孟浪。和他們一起朗誦的照片以後找出來再分享。

2009年12月04日，中國人權與萊特納國際法與正義中心(Leitner Center for International Law and Justice)在福爾德姆大學法學院(Fordham Law School)聯合舉辦人權書展，有百本中國禁書在紐約展出。黃翔應邀朗誦他寫於獄中的詩歌。主辦單位希望人們向國外讀者介紹這些被中國政府打壓的人們，他們的著作以及當前的處境，並藉此呼籲人們關注並支持言論自由。參加書展的團體有：自由之家、人權觀察、國際聲援西藏運動、勞改基金會、美國筆會、自由西藏學生運動、美國維吾爾協會、獨立中文筆會。

註，現年83 歲的作家和詩人黃翔，至今在中國大陸沒有出版過一本專著，1994 年差一點在北京作家出版社出版一本詩集，書已經印好剛入倉庫就被禁止發行並銷毀。只有少數幾位著名學者和編輯巧妙地小心翼翼將他有限的幾首詩編入幾本中國百年文學經典選本、將他有限的幾幅藝術作品編入中國當代藝術史編年文献，才讓他的名字不至於在中國大陸當代文化歷史中完全被淹滅，歷史會記住並感謝這些少數有良知的學者和編輯。

On December 4, 2009, Human Rights In China and the Leitner Center for International Law and Justice at Fordham Law School co-hosted a human rights book fair, displaying a hundred banned books from China in New York. Huang Xiang was invited to recite the poems he wrote in prison. The organizers hoped to introduce these works, suppressed by the Chinese government, and their authors' current predicaments to international readers, thereby calling for attention and support for freedom of speech. Participating organizations included Freedom House, Human Rights Watch, International Campaign for Tibet, Laogai Research Foundation, PEN America, Students for a Free Tibet, Uyghur American Association, and Independent Chinese PEN Center.

Note, the 83-year-old writer and poet Huang Xiang has not published a single book in mainland China. In 1994, he nearly published a collection of poems with Beijing Writers Publishing House, but the book was banned and destroyed just after being printed and stored. Only a few renowned scholars and editors have managed to cautiously incorporate a limited number of his poems into select anthologies of Chinese literary classics from the past century and his artworks into chronicles of contemporary Chinese art history, ensuring his name is not entirely erased from the cultural history of contemporary mainland China. History will remember and be thankful for these few conscientious scholars and editors.
