Colombian writer’s new work brings home country closer to Chinese audience_我的网站
A |
The Embassy of the Republic of Colombia in China hosted a colloquium with Héctor Abad Faciolince, a Colombian novelist, writer and journalist. The writer shared on Tuesday his growth journey from a journalist to achieve his dream as a writer, his observation of the Colombian society and his impression about the changes in China.
In a fully packed hall, Minister Plenipotentiary Jose Fernando Bermúdez Cendales said in his opening remarks that the event is part of an initiative to bring Colombian culture closer to the Chinese public while simultaneously creating new spaces for dialogue and exchange between the two countries.
Bermúdez said that Abad's visit to China offers a particularly valuable opportunity to showcase the richness of our literature and to strengthen the cultural and human bridges connecting Colombia and China.
The session, chaired by Santiago Gamboa, writer and minister counselor of the Colombian Embassy, focused on the career and body of work of Abad and in particular, El olvido que seremos (Oblivion: A Memoir).
Abad's book is a seminal work of contemporary Colombian literature in which personal and family memory engage deeply with Colombia's recent history. Its translation into Chinese allows this story to reach new readers and represents an extraordinary opportunity to bring both societies closer together through literature, per some commentators.
"We hope this gathering will be an open conversation among cultures, readers, and experiences, and a new expression of the friendship that Colombia and China continue to build," said Bermúdez.
Abad, one of the most important voices in contemporary Latin American literature, shared with the Global Times that this is his second trip in China. The last time he visited the country was two decades ago.
This time, in his eyes, China has changed a lot. In many ways, the country stands for the future of the world.
Abad said he is surprised to see how much Chinese people are depending on the electric devices and network to communicate in a virtual world, and said that he felt "like an alien."
Talking about his interaction with readers in Shanghai, Abad smiled, saying that the readers selected some phrases from his book and asked him to write down as part of the autography and signature for them.
In his book, El Olvido Que Seremos (The Oblivion We Will Be), which is acclaimed as a "love letter from a son to his father," is not only a deeply affectionate look back at familial bonds but also a courageous attempt to defy oblivion.
Rooted in true events, The Oblivion We Will Be chronicles the life of his own father. Abad noted that his father was killed in August 1987 - nearly forty years ago.
In the Western literary tradition, a father is often portrayed as a distant or even negative figure. His father, however, was "totally different - a man of love and deep sense of responsibility in both the public sphere and his family life."
Such image of a benevolent, non-authoritarian father has impressed his Chinese readers as well, he said.
As a physician, Abad's father dedicated his life to addressing fundamental issues affecting people's well-being, such as drinking water quality and public health, steadfast in the belief that the world could be made better through action.
Abad's work addresses themes such as memory, violence, inequality, and the human condition, deeply marked by the murder of his father, an event that inspired his most iconic book, The Oblivion We Will Be was published in Chinese by Writer's Publishing House in Beijing in July.

B | Renee 综合 据英文《先驱报》报道，新西兰近期超过九成的新冠感染是由一种高度突变的Omicron变异引起的。 Advertise with us 新西兰环境科学研究所(ESR)最新监测显示，在通过废水采样检测到的新冠病毒中，JN.1变种占93%，在医院测序样本中占四分之三。 新冠建模师Michael Plank教授说，自从Omicron的BA.5分支在2022年年中造成冬季中期的那波疫情以来，还没有一个单一的变体造成过如此大的影响。 JN.1首次在新西兰出现是去年10月，截至12月初，JN.1约占十分之一的病例，到12月底至少占一半的病例，然后成为驱动新西兰夏季病例激增的主要变体。 JN.1是新冠病Omicron BA.2.86变异株的第二代亚分支，也是BA.2.86变异株中具有较强传播优势的一个亚分支。 据此前报道，JN.1这一变种9月在美国最先被检测出来，随后迅速成为美国等国最常见的病毒株。
C | 去年12月底，世界卫生组织正式将其确定为“受关注变种”。 JN.1的一个“后代”——JN.1.4，已经在新西兰和海外被检测到，但预计不会带来严重影响。 Plank说，“尽管这是18个月来我们第一次遇到一种不同的病毒，但它对健康的影响并不像BA.5那样大。虽然它显然具有增长优势和一定程度的逃逸免疫特性，但它不会像我们过去看到的变异那样引起重症。” 他表示，出现这种差异的部分原因是自2022年以来感染该病毒的人数增加了。 奥塔哥大学进化病毒学家Jemma Geoghegan博士说，JN.1在世界其他地方也同样占主导地位，这表明新冠病毒没有像其他呼吸道疾病那样形成季节性模式。 图片来源：Unsplash 不过，尽管监测显示，新西兰各地的新冠感染率仍在上升，但有迹象表明，新西兰已经过了疫情高峰期，全国的住院率和废水检测呈下降趋势。 卫生部最新更新显示，截至上周日午夜，住院病例数为245例，约为1月中旬的一半。
D | 针对Omicron毒株的最新加强剂已经在其他地方使用，但尚未在新西兰上市。不过专家表示，目前的疫苗在预防重症方面仍然有效。 相关阅读： 疫情通报：过去一周新西兰新增5555例 1月30日疫情通报：过去一周新西兰新增5757例 疫情通报：过去一周新西兰新增7019例，夏季疫情见顶了吗？ 疫情通报：病例数上升！过去一周新西兰新增8040例 疫情通报：过去一周新西兰新增6558例，44人死亡 新变种来了！新西兰第五波疫情或持续数月 注：本文为编译/原创，欢迎转发分享；但严禁复制等未经授权的非法使用。违反上述声明者，本网将追究其相关法律责任。
