拍品資料及來源

韓丁舊藏黃永玉作品 (編號 1161-1162)

韓丁(William H. Hinton,1919-2004),生於美國芝加哥。十七歲被哈佛大學取錄,但為增廣見聞而延遲入學一年,期間遍遊美國工作,亦遠赴亞洲、蘇聯等地,首次踏足中國,也是他一生與中國結下不解之緣之始。

返國後入哈佛,再轉讀康奈爾大學攻讀農學。一九四五年,他以美國戰爭情報處分析員身份再度訪華,結識了毛澤東、周恩來等中共領導人,並見証了重慶談判。四七年隨聯合國救濟總署又一次到中國,被派赴是時共產黨控制之河北冀縣,為當地培育出第一代農機人員。後又以觀察員身份親歷了山西張莊的土地改革。

一九五三年韓丁返美,卻因「赤色恐慌」備受政治逼害,在土改中之筆記被沒收,護照亦被吊銷,遂返回其母親留下的土地獨自耕種。期間,仍勇於面對,不斷發表演講,積極參與爭取種族平等的民權運動及反越戰活動。一九五八年,控告美國政府經歷五年之官司獲勝訴,發還了被沒收的筆記,並以此為材料,撰寫〈翻身 ─ 中國一個村莊的革命紀實〉,於一九六六年出版,被翻譯為多國文字。此書對西方社會認識中國農村土改運動提供了重要的第一手資料,影響甚鉅。一九七一年,〈翻身〉一書被譯為中文,他亦應周恩來之邀重訪中國,先後五次獲周氏接見,並獲委任為農業顧問。一九七四年,他任美中人民友好協會第一任主席,並繼續從事寫作及講學,著作甚豐,包括〈鐵牛〉、〈深翻〉、〈大逆轉〉等,內容多涉及中國農村改革之變遷。二〇〇四年五月病逝於美國馬薩諸塞州。
