    資料紹介

    In this chapter we will look at how the English writer JG Ballard wrote about Shanghai in his autobiography novel-Empire of the Sun. Ballard was born and grew up to sixteen in Shanghai during the Second War. This is an account of JG Ballard's childhood in Shanghai during the Second World War when he was imprisoned in an internment camp away from his parents. By looking at Ballard’s experience in Shanghai in the Second War, we will see how Ballard looked at Shanghai and how Shanghai influenced Ballard.
    How did Jim who was only eleven years old look at Shanghai in the war around him? After the attack to Pearl Harbour, the Japanese invaded South-Asia. Thousands of European civilians, women and children, could not escape and were interned by Japanese. A lot of them died from disease and starvation. Ballard, the author, was one of those children. Living in Shanghai with his family, eleven years old, he was interned till the end of the War in the internment camp. Just like Ballard himself, the protagonist Jim, was born in a rich British family, was separated from his parents and spent the next three years in a Japanese internment camp, learning to fend for himself under the most brutal conditions. Before the Second War, Jim lived in a big mansion with his parents and many Chinese maids in the Shanghai Concession. Jim went to church school with a driver everyday. But, Jim called Shanghai “the dreadful city”.
