中新社北京9月23日电 题:一句乡音,何以成为跨越山海的通行证?

——专访泰国华商中心执行主任陈映玲

中新社记者 杜燕

一句耿直率真的“老板你哪里不同意?”,成为全球热映电影《给阿嬷的情书》流传广泛的“幕后名场面”。那位操着潮汕话问询的,正是华侨华人新生代陈映玲。

祖籍潮汕、生活在泰国的她,长期以短视频记录泰国华侨华人的生活,在网络上是许多人熟悉的“泰国V姐”。同时,她身为泰国华商中心执行主任,穿梭于泰中两国之间,搭建起双向商务的桥梁。

一头连着湄南河畔的袅袅烟火,一头紧牵故土潮汕的根脉记忆,她用自己的方式讲述跨越山海的华侨华人故事,参与并见证着中华文化在海外代代相传。

光影深处的赤子之心

电影《给阿嬷的情书》全球热映,目前全球总票房已突破21亿元人民币。“参与拍摄时,没想到电影会有这么大的热度和这么好的反响。”陈映玲回忆起“进组”经历时说,得知影片讲述潮汕侨胞下南洋的乡愁,就一口答应了。

被评价为电影的“幕后功臣”,陈映玲笑称:“没有我,电影不会少个零。但没有侨领们本色出演,就少了潮味,也少了家乡情。”在她眼里,会长们愿意出演小角色,背后是潮汕人骨子里的默契。“如果你是家乡人,用潮汕话沟通,电影又是潮汕话的电影,其实大家都很愿意帮忙。”

泰国与中国潮汕地区渊源深厚,大量潮汕后裔生活于此。影片在泰国各大影院公映,并推出“潮州话原声字幕版”与“泰语配音版”,当地潮汕后裔家庭老少共同走进影院、重温家族记忆。陈映玲称,这部电影不仅是一部作品,更唤起了大家对祖辈、对故乡、对中华文化的共同记忆。

“身边很多只会零碎几句潮汕话的同龄人受到触动:起初他们好奇,为什么一部电影可以这么火、票房可以这么高?再往下看,发现故事和自己家族关系密切,感叹‘原来我家里有这么值钱的故事’。”她说。

“从前他们只听长辈们说起从‘潮汕’来,并不知晓故土的模样。看完电影,不少年轻人愿意回家坐下来倾听长辈们的苦难与奋斗,理解长辈们漂泊打拼背后那份沉甸甸的家庭责任与家国牵挂。”陈映玲看到这样的改变,内心深有感触:中国人的担当,中国人的情义,从来不只是顾念自己,心中永远装着父母儿女、乡里家国,在外才会格外勤奋努力。

陈映玲说,这份刻在骨子里的特质,借由影像跨越了国界,不仅重新唤醒了海外儿女埋藏心底的故土记忆,更叩响海内外观众的心门。

口述记忆的岁月留声

参演电影是陈映玲生活中一段美好的“插曲”。其实,早在2023年,陈映玲便以短视频账号“泰国V姐”创作者的身份,拿起手机,日常走访泰国的潮汕侨领、老一辈移民,用潮汕话和前辈们“讲古”——延续潮汕民间叙旧忆往事的传统,记录那些快要消散的往事。

“一句乡音,是最好的通行证。”她感慨,很多平时不轻易接受媒体采访的老前辈,在自己用乡音开启对话时,瞬间就把她当成了“自家晚辈”,他们愿意打开话匣子,把尘封的经历娓娓道来,他们乐意看见年轻一代对于文化的传承。

没有采访脚本,陈映玲的许多记录就是日常聊天。在一次次走访中,她亲眼见证岁月的无情:几年前精神矍铄、意气风发的老侨领,再次相见惊觉衰老仿佛一瞬间降临。“不会等你说慢慢老,也不会让你有心理准备,一下子就感受到他的衰老。”

“聆听故事的人可以千千万万,但会讲故事的老人正在不断减少。”感受到时间残忍的陈映玲,带着“怕来不及”的紧迫感,下决心做纪录片:短视频可以留存几分钟的片段,而纪录片能够完整保存一代人的集体记忆。

于是,纪录片《暹罗潮生》应运而生,全景记录潮汕人在泰国的生存与奋斗。她和团队奔赴各地寻访史料,目前项目已完成九成,计划推出10集、每集15分钟的系列短片,也计划以长片形式推向大银幕。

“一句‘奴啊’,就能唤起我们的共同记忆。”她说,片子坚持以受访者口述作为第一手素材,力求最大限度还原时代真实面貌,不辜负老一辈侨领无条件的信任。同时,也希望以这种方式“守住乡音、守住根脉”。

不忘来处的跨越山海

何为“家”?何为“根”?在一次次走访中,陈映玲对这两个词有了真切的答案。

“家,是父母在的地方;根,是记住自己从哪里来。”她讲起走访一位知名侨领的故事。

“我问他,你赚钱也很难,为什么捐钱这么爽快?他说因为那是他要做的。我又问,为什么是你要做,你不做的话,别人、家乡也会慢慢变好。他可能被我问得太多,就说:因为那是我的根。”陈映玲坦言,老人在耄耋之年依旧坚持回乡祭祖,倾尽财力反哺桑梓,一句掷地有声的“那是我的根”,深深烙印在她的心底。

这份根的意识,让人不忘本。老一辈侨胞依靠同乡会、商会、书信团聚彼此;而新生代联结的方式已然迭代。她观察到,不少泰国华侨华人新生代对中国的印象还停留在过去。如今,一旦亲自踏上故土,他们往往被高铁、自动驾驶、移动支付等中国速度、中国科技深深震撼。

在她眼中,镜头不仅记录当下的创新故事,更聚焦海外华侨华人筚路蓝缕的奋斗历程——那些白手起家的潮商前辈,那些代代坚守的文化根脉,都是镜头里最动人的篇章。

游走于泰国和中国,陈映玲认为自己可以发挥海外华侨华人最大优势,既理解海外的语境,也读懂故土的文化。“文化不是入侵式的,不是你听我的或者我听你的,而是和而不同,互相尊重差异,寻找共通之处。”

如今,她继续奔走于泰国和中国的不同城市,做推介,拍视频,更打捞侨史记忆,让华侨华人的家国故事被更多人看见、读懂。“我要通过一个个真实的故事,展现华侨华人在海外的拼搏精神,让更多人了解中华文化在异国他乡的传承与新生。”

镜头之外,身为泰国华商中心执行主任,她日常工作中推进中国各省市在泰开展招商会、推介会、洽谈会、论坛、商务考察等相关经贸活动,也带领泰国中小企业走进中国,努力促进泰中经贸往来、人文交流与双向投资,讲好中国故事。

2026北京文化论坛召开之际,她参与其中,希望与各国嘉宾交流互动,希望通过镜头促进更多年轻人理解彼此,共同参与区域发展与文化交流。“‘中泰一家亲’,也是‘一家人’。”她相信,个体的记录、交流,可以为两国文明交流互鉴注入源源不断的鲜活力量。
