Title:Fixing the Burial

Category:Manuscript

Author:Wang Weilian

No. of Item:4 pages

Dimension: 27.1×19.1cm

Description:Wang Weilian was a descendant of the writer Jiang Gui (1908-1980). The main narrative of this piece tells of Wang’s search for a burial place for his father, Jiang Gui, whose original name was Wang Lindu. He joined the military during the Sino-Japanese war and arriving in Taiwan after mustering out of the military, Wang was unsuccessful in business but had to look after his sick wife and three sons, meanwhile he suffered a series of setbacks. He was without a fixed home or address yet every evening he would write without stop and did publish many long works. According to Wang Weilian, Jiang Gui died on December 17, 1980. He was given an imposing funeral ceremony by people in the arts and literary world and the scholar Chen Kuimiao proposed that he be buried “in the writer Yang Kui’s place”—meaning Yang Kui’s East Pacific Garden in Taichung. However, when he started the process of selecting a site, Wang was hampered by issue of property rights of the landowners and by economic factors. At the same time in order to avoid the later necessity of reburial and other considerations, he finally selected a burial site in the Taichung Municipal Cemetery. Because he did not comply with the wishes of those literary personalities of the older generation, the author feared his intentions would in future years be distorted and misunderstood and so he wrote this piece by way of explanation. This is why on the first page of the manuscript in the blank portion of the sidebar there is the explanatory remark: “This is only as explanation and not meant for publication.” Based on the events mentioned in the article and the time sequence, this piece was most likely completed after March 29, 1981.

摘要:本文為姜貴長子王為鐮為姜貴下葬一事的奔波過程。起初因陳癸淼建議，原打算在楊逵家建館原葬，但後來以擲筊的方式詢問姜貴，得到了欲葬在家中的結果。但礙於代代骨灰無法永遠存放家中與土地產權問題，決定葬在示範公墓，不過中間一度因為價錢問題放棄，後來所幸有朋友與文藝基金會支持，才得以克服波折，使得姜貴之墓能夠完成。（文／朱英韶）

其他說明:本文作者王為鐮為作家姜貴（1908-1980）哲嗣，此文主要記述其為父親尋覓安葬之地的經過。本名王林渡的姜貴，因中日戰爭而投身軍旅，來台退役後又遭逢經商失敗，並需照顧臥病在床的妻子與三個兒子，其間數度生活顛沛困苦，居無定所，但直到晚年仍寫作不輟，屢有長篇作品發表。根據王為鐮所載，姜貴於1980年12月17日逝世時，由藝文界人士為其舉辦了隆重的追悼儀式，並經學者陳癸淼提議「在作家楊逵處建館原葬」──這裡所說的「楊逵處」即指台中楊逵的東海花園。但是當他著手進行葬地選擇事宜時，礙於土地所有權的產權執分問題與經濟因素，同時也為了避免日後還要辦理遷葬等各種考量，最後依然選定台中示範公墓為安葬之所。由於未遵照藝文界前輩的意見辦理，作者唯恐其用心於日後遭致扭曲、誤解，故特作此文以為說明，此即稿紙首頁邊欄空白處之所以有說明文字「本文只做解釋之用，並不發表」的緣由。由文章所記述之事件與時序推測，此文應成文於1981年3月29日之後。
