【摘要】2013 年，“侨批档案——海外华侨银信”入选联合国教科文组织《世界记忆名录》，获得了制度层面的国际认可。2026 年上映的潮汕方言电影《给阿嬷的情书》以侨批为核心叙事媒介，通过跨越半个世纪的家庭故事，使侨批这一长期停留于学术研究和档案展示中的历史文献重新成为社会关注的文化对象。本文以扬·阿斯曼（Jan Assmann）的"交往记忆—文化记忆" 理论为基本框架，结合情感传播研究，探讨电影如何通过影像叙事推动侨批由家庭生活中的交往记忆转化为具有公共意义的文化记忆。文章认为，电影并非创造新的文化记忆，而是借助人物叙事、地方空间建构和情感表达，对既有文化记忆进行"情感赋值"，使历史文献由知识对象转化为情感对象，进而促进地方文化的公共传播。电影通过影像塑情、跨媒介传播与文旅联动，构建了“激活—共鸣—传承”的新路径，为地方文化传播提供了情感价值转向的实践启示。

From "Communicative Memory" to "Cultural Memory" ——The Value Transformation and Inheritance of Qiaopi Memory in the Film A

Letter to Grandma

Li Liling

[Abstract] In 2013, the "Qiaopi Archives — Overseas Chinese Remittance and Letters" was inscribed on the UNESCO Memory of the World Register, gaining international recognition at the institutional level. The Chaoshan-dialect film A Letter to Grandma, released in 2026, takes Qiaopi as its core narrative medium. Through a family story spanning half a century, it revitalizes Qiaopi — a historical document that had long remained confined to academic research and archival exhibitions — as a cultural object of social attention. This paper adopts Jan Assmann's theory of "communicative memory — cultural memory" as its basic framework, combined with research on emotional communication, to explore how the film uses visual narrative to transform Qiaopi from a communicative memory within family life into a cultural memory with public significance. The paper argues that the film does not create new cultural memory, but rather, through character narration, the construction of local space,and emotional expression, performs an "emotional valorization" of existing cultural memory, transforming historical documents from objects of knowledge into objects of emotion, thereby promoting the public dissemination of local culture. Through cinematic emotional shaping, cross-media communication, and cultural tourism linkage, the film constructs a new path of "activation — resonance — inheritance," offering practical insights for the emotional value turn in local cultural communication.
