“退休后，拿起笔涂鸦。想当官，却讨厌当官的；想发财，却不喜欢做生意；想出名，却没有文化水平。”
“After retiring, I picked up a pen and began to scribble. I wanted to be an official, yet disliked officials; wanted to make a fortune, yet disliked doing business; wanted to become famous, yet lacked formal education.”
叶国治自述
叶国治，男，1933年出生于广东台山。六岁到缅甸定居，日本南侵，逃难。二战结束后在缅甸仰光华侨中学、南洋中学读书。
1949年回国参军。转业后进入工厂，干一行，学一行，当过仪表工人、玻璃工人、水泥工人。改革开放后移民美国，在资本主义最底层摸爬滚打。
退休以后，他以散文、回忆、诗歌和小小说，记录普通人在二十世纪巨变中的生活。叶国治于2022年3月27日逝世。
他的作品与生平也留存在家庭档案之外的报纸、缅华社区网站和文学记录中。文库把这些来源单独整理为 外部发表与文献记录，并区分作者作品的外部发表与第三方对他的独立记载。
Ye Guozhi was born in Taishan, Guangdong, in 1933 and moved to Burma at the age of six. He lived through the Japanese invasion and wartime displacement, then studied at the Rangoon Overseas Chinese Middle School and Nanyang Middle School after the war.
In 1949, he returned to China and joined the military. After leaving military service, he worked in factories and learned each trade as he went—as an instrument technician, glass worker, and cement worker. Following China’s Reform and Opening, he immigrated to the United States and experienced life at the lowest rungs of the capitalist economy.
In retirement, he wrote essays, memoirs, poetry, and short fiction about ordinary lives amid the transformations of the twentieth century. Ye Guozhi died on March 27, 2022.
His work and life also survive beyond the family archive in newspapers, Burmese Chinese community websites, and literary records. The archive preserves these separately as external publications and documentary sources, distinguishing the publication of his own work from independent accounts written by others.
这不是把过去封存起来。
这是让一份亲历继续说话。
It is about allowing a lived experience to keep speaking.

进入作品全集 · Enter the Complete Works保存方法
文库的目标不是替叶国治重写过去，而是让他的原声能够跨越语言、媒介与时间继续被理解。为此，所有后加的层次都必须保留自己的来源与身份。
原文为核心。 已确认的中文逐字稿是文库的永久核心，不因语法、措辞、时代用语或现代阅读习惯而被静默改写。
翻译与原文分层。 英文翻译帮助作品跨越语言，但始终作为翻译呈现，不取代中文，也不反向改变中文原文。
家庭记忆与作者文字分开。 家庭回忆、照片说明、后来的背景补充与编辑说明明确标示来源，不归入叶国治本人的作者身份。
外部证据分类保存。 报刊与网站对叶国治作品的转载或发表，属于作品出处；他人对叶国治生平、写作与社群活动的记载，属于独立文献。两类证据分别记录，不互相替代。
不确定性也被保存。 无法确认的日期、标题、人物或作品边界保持未知或待考，不用看似合理的推断填补史料空白。
让来源关系对机器也清楚。 文库使用稳定网址、规范实体标识与结构化数据，把作者、作品、翻译、照片、家庭记忆和来源关系明确连接起来。其目的不是让文库依赖某一个 AI 系统，而是让未来的搜索与智能系统仍能辨认：谁写了什么，什么是原文，什么是翻译，什么是后来补充。

What the method protects
The verified Chinese transcription is canonical and is never silently rewritten. English translations remain a clearly identified access layer; family memories, captions, and editorial additions retain their own attribution. External publications and independent biographical evidence are recorded separately, while uncertain dates, identities, titles, and work boundaries remain uncertain rather than being filled with plausible invention.
Stable URLs, canonical entity identifiers, and structured data connect the author, works, translations, photographs, family memories, and sources so that people, search engines, and future AI systems can still distinguish who wrote what—and what was added later.
