Over the following two years Lie published numerous books, includingTjhit Liap Seng,considered the first Chinese Malay novel. He also acquired printing rights forPembrita Betawi,a newspaper based in Batavia (nowJakarta), and moved to the city. After selling his printing press in 1887, the writer spent three years working in various lines of employment until he found stability in 1890 at a rice mill operated by a friend. The following year he married Tan Sioe Nio, with whom he had four children. Lie published two books in the 1890s and, in 1900, became a founding member of the Chinese organisationTiong Hoa Hwee Koan,which he left in 1904. Lie focused on his translations and social work for the remainder of his life, until his death fromtyphusat age 58.
Lie is considered influential to the colony's journalism, linguistics, and literature, and is best remembered for his literary works. Several of his writings were printed multiple times, andSair Tjerita Siti Akbariwas adapted for the stage andscreen.However, as a result of thelanguage politicsin the Indies and independent Indonesia, his work has become marginalised. When several of his writings were revealed as uncredited adaptations of existing works, Lie was criticised as unoriginal. Other critics, however, have found evidence of innovation in his writing style and handling of plots.
Early life
editLie was born in Buitenzorg (nowBogor),West Java,on 1 November 1853, the first child of seven born to Lie Hian Tjouw and his second wife Oey Tjiok Nio. The elder Lie had four children from a previous marriage, with Lie Kim Hok his first child from the new marriage. The well-to-doperanakanChinese[a]couple was living inCianjurat the time but went to Buitenzorg, Lie Hian Tjouw's hometown, for the birth as they had family there. The family soon returned to Cianjur, where Lie Kim Hok washomeschooledinChinese traditionand the localSundaneseculture andlanguage.[1]By age seven he could haltingly read Sundanese andMalay.[2]
In the mid-19th century the colony's ethnic Chinese population was severely undereducated, unable to enter schools for either Europeans ornatives.[3]Aged ten, Lie was enrolled in aCalvinistmissionary school run by Christiaan Albers. This school had roughly 60 male students, mostly Chinese.[4]Under Albers, a fluent speaker of Sundanese, he received his formal education in a curriculum which included the sciences, language, and Christianity – the schools were meant to promote Christianity in theDutch East Indies,and students were required to pray before class.[2]Lie, as with most students, did not convert,[5]although biographerTio Ie Soeiwrites that an understanding of Christianity likely affected hisworld view.[6]
Lie and his family returned to Buitenzorg in 1866. At the time there were no schools offering a European-style education in the city, and thus he was sent to a Chinese-run school. For three years, in which the youth studied under three different headmasters, he was made to repeat traditionalHokkienphrases and copyChinese characterswithout understanding them. Tio suggests that Lie obtained little knowledge at the school, and until his death Lie was unable to understandChinese.[7]During his time in Buitenzorg, he studied painting underRaden Saleh,a friend of his father's. Although he reportedly showed skill, he did not continue the hobby as his mother disapproved. He also showed a propensity for traditional literary forms such aspantun(a form of poetry) and was fond of creating his own.[8]
WhenSierk Coolsmaopened a missionary school in Buitenzorg on 31 May 1869, Lie was in the first class of ten. Once again studying in Sundanese, he took similar subjects to his time in Cianjur. Around this time he began studyingDutch.After a government-run school opened in 1872, most of Lie's classmates were ethnic Chinese; the Sundanese students, mostly Muslim, had transferred to the new school for fear of being converted to Christianity.[9]In 1873 Coolsma was sent toSumedangto translate the Bible into Sundanese and was replaced by fellow missionary D. J. van der Linden.[b]Studies resumed in Malay, as van der Linden was unable to speak Sundanese. Lie and his new headmaster soon became close.[10]The two later worked together at van der Linden's school and publishing house and shared an interest in traditional theatre, includingwayang(puppets).[11]
Teacher and publisher
editBy the age of twenty Lie had a good command of Sundanese and Malay; he also spoke fair Dutch, a rarity for ethnic Chinese at the time.[12]Lie assisted van der Linden at the missionary school, and in the mid-1870s operated a general school for poor Chinese children. He also worked for the missionary's printing press, Zending Press, earning fortyguldena month while serving as editor of two religious magazines, the Dutch-language monthlyDe Opwekkerand the Malay-language bi-weeklyBintang Djohor.[13]He married Oey Pek Nio, seven years his junior, in 1876.[14]Tio, in an interview with the scholar ofChinese Malay literatureClaudine Salmon,stated that Lie had been betrothed to Oey's elder sister, but when she ran away the night before the ceremony, he was told to by his parents to marry Oey Pek Nio to save face.[15]Although displeased with the arrangement, he obeyed.[14]The pair soon grew close. The following year they had their first child, although the baby died soon after birth. Lie's mother died in 1879, and his father died the next year.[16]
Following these deaths Lie was unable to support his wife. He therefore sold his school to Oey Kim Hoat and left his position at Zending Press to take a job as a land surveyor. In the next four years he held various jobs.[17]In 1881 Oey Pek Nio gave birth again. Shedied soon afterwardsand the baby was sent to live with her grandfather father in Gadog, a village to the southeast of Buitenzorg, to be raised. The child died in 1886.[16]Lie published his first books in 1884. Two of these,Kitab EdjaandSobat Anak-Anak,were published by Zending Press. The former was a study book to help students learn to write Malay, while the latter was a collection ofstories for childrenthat Aprinus Salam ofGadjah Mada Universitycredits as the first work ofpopular literaturein the Indies.[18]The other two books were published by W. Bruining & Co., based in the colonial capital at Batavia (nowJakarta). One of these,Malajoe Batawi,was a grammar of Malay intended to standardise the language's spelling.[19]The other was the four-volumesyair(a traditional Malay form of poetry)Sair Tjerita Siti Akbari;this book, dealing with agender-disguisedwarrior who conquers the Sultanate of Hindustan to save her husband, became one of Lie's best-known works.[20]
After van der Linden's death in 1885, Lie paid his teacher's widow a total of 1,000 gulden to acquire the Zending Press; the funds were, in part, borrowed from his friends.[21]He changed the printer's name to Lie Kim Hok soon afterwards. He devoted most of his time to the publishing house, and it grew quickly, printing works by other authors and reprinting some of Lie's earlier writings. The publishing house was, however, unable to turn a profit.[22]That year he published a newsyair,consisting of 24quartets,entitledOrang Prampoewan.[23]He also wrote opinion pieces in various newspapers, includingBintang BetawiandDomingoe.[24]
The following year Lie purchased publishing rights to the Malay-language newspaperPembrita Betawi,based in Batavia and edited by W. Meulenhoff, for 1,000 gulden. He again borrowed from his friends. From mid-1886,[c]Lie's publishing house (which he had moved to Batavia) was credited as the newspaper's printer.[25]While busy with the press, he wrote or contributed to four books. Two were pieces of nonfiction, one a collection of Chinese prophecies and the last outlined lease laws. The third was a partial translation of theOne Thousand and One Nights,a collection already popular with Malay audiences. The last was his first novel,Tjhit Liap Seng.[26]Following a group of educated persons in mainland China,Tjhit Liap Sengis credited as the first Chinese Malay novel.[27]
Lie continued to publish novels set in China through 1887, writing five in this period. Several of these stories were based on extant Chinese tales, as retold by his Chinese-speaking friends.[28]The writer sold his shares inPembrita Betawito Karsseboom & Co. in 1887, but continued to print the newspaper until it – and Lie's printing press – were acquired by Albrecht & Co. later that year.[29]Lie did not work as a publisher again, although he continued to contribute writings to various newspapers, including Meulenhoff's new publicationHindia Olanda.[25]Over the next three years he did not have fixed employment, taking a multitude of jobs, including bamboo salesman, contractor, and cashier.[30]
Tiong Hoa Hwe Koan, translations, and death
editIn 1890 Lie began working at a rice mill operated by his friend Tan Wie Siong as a supervisor; this would be his main source of income for the remainder of his life. The following year he married Tan Sioe Nio, twenty years his junior. The new couple had a comfortable life: his salary was adequate, and the work did not consume much energy. To supplement his income Lie returned to translating, Dutch to Malay or vice versa. Sometimes he would translate land deeds or other legal documents. Other times he translated works of literature.[31]This includedDe Graaf de Monte Cristo,an 1894 translation ofAlexandre Dumas'Le Comte de Monte-Cristo,which he completed in collaboration with theIndojournalist F. Wiggers.[26]The two included footnotes to describe aspects of European culture which they deemed difficult for non-European readers to understand.[32]Three years later Lie publishedHikajat Kong Hoe Tjoe,a book on the teachings ofConfucius.[33]Its contents were derived from European writings onConfucianismand his friends' explanations.[34]
With nineteen other ethnic Chinese, including his former schoolmatePhoa Keng Hek,Lie was an establishing member of theTiong Hoa Hwee Koan(THHK) school system and social organisation in 1900.[35]Meant to promote ethnic Chinese rights at a time when they weretreated as second-class citizens[d]and provide standardised formal education to ethnic Chinese students where the Dutch had not, the organisation was based on the teachings of Confucius and opened schools for both boys and girls. The THHK grew quickly and expanded into different fields, and Lie helped organise a debating club, sports club, and charity fairs and concerts.[36]From 1903 to 1904 Lie was a managing member of the board, serving mainly as its treasurer.[30]
Lie left the THHK in 1904, although he remained active in social work. Despite increasingly poor health,[6]he wrote opinion pieces for the dailiesSin PoandPerniagaan.[37]He also translated extensively. In 1905 Lie published the first volume of his last Chinese-themed novel,Pembalasan Dendam Hati.This was followed three years later byKapitein Flamberge,a translation ofPaul Saunière'sLe Capitaine Belle-Humeur.In the following years he translated several books featuringPierre Alexis Ponson du Terrail's fictional adventurerRocambole,beginning withKawanan Pendjahatin 1910. Two final translations were published in newspapers and collated as novels after Lie's death:Geneviève de Vadans,from a book entitledDe Juffrouw van Gezelschap,andPrampoean jang Terdjoewal,from Hugo Hartmann'sDolores, de Verkochte Vrouw.The former translation was completed by the journalistLauw Giok Lan.[26]
On the night of 2 May 1912 Lie became ill, and two days later his doctor diagnosed him withtyphus.His condition steadily declined and on 6 May 1912 he died. He was buried inKota Bambu, Batavia.THHK schools throughout the city flew their flags athalf-mast.Lie was survived by his wife and four children: Soan Nio (born 1892), Hong Nio (born 1896), Kok Hian (born 1898), and Kok Hoei (born 1901). Tan Sioe Nio died the following year.[38]
Legacy
editIn his journalism career Lie attempted to avoid theyellow presstactics used by his contemporaries[39]and preferred to avoid extensivepolemicsin the press.[40]Malaysian journalism historian Ahmat Adam, writing in 1995, notes that Lie's entry into the press sparked a wave ofperanakanChinese writers to become newspaper editors,[21]and Sumardjo suggests that Lie remained best known to native Indonesians through his work in the press.[41]
From alinguist'sperspective, Kasijanto Sastrodinomo of theUniversity of IndonesiadescribesMalajoe Batawias "extraordinary",[e]noting that the first Malay-language textbook was written by a non-Malay.[42]He also emphasises that the book did not use any English-derived linguistics terms which were omnipresent in 20th-century Indonesian textbooks.[42]Linguist Waruno Mahdi writes that Lie'sMalajoe Batawiwas the "most remarkable achievement of Chinese Malay writing" from a linguist's point of view.[43]In his doctoral dissertation, Benitez suggests that Lie may have hoped for bazaar Malay to become alingua francain the Dutch East Indies.[44]In his history of Chinese Malay literature,Nio Joe Lanfinds that Lie, influenced by his missionary education, tried to maintain an orderly use of language in a period where such attention to grammar was uncommon.[45]Nio describes Lie as the "only contemporaryperanakanChinese writer who had studied Malay grammar methodically. "[f][46]Adam considers Lie's works to have left "an indelible mark on the development of modern Indonesian language".[47]
Adam suggests that Lie is best remembered for his contributions toIndonesian literature,[21]with his publications well received by his contemporaries. Tio writes that "old and young intimately read his (Lie's) writings, which were praised for their simple language, rhythm, clarity, freshness, and strength. The skill and accuracy with which he chose his words, the neatness and orderliness with which he arranged his sentences.... People said that he was ahead of his time. He was likened to a large shining star, a stark contrast to the small, faded stars in the dark sky."[g][48]Further praise was awarded by other contemporaries, both native and Chinese, such as Ibrahim gelar Marah Soetan andAgus Salim.[49]When ethnic Chinese writers became common in the early 1900s, critics named Lie the "father of Chinese Malay literature" for his contributions, includingSiti AkbariandTjhit Liap Seng.[50]
Several of Lie's books, includingSair Tjerita Siti Akbari,Kitab Edja,Orang Prampoewan,andSobat Anak-anak,had multiple printings, though Tio does not record any after the 1920s.[26]In 2000Kitab Edjawas reprinted in the inaugural volume ofKesastraan Melayu Tionghoa dan Kebangsaan Indonesia,an anthology of Chinese Malay literature.[51]HisSair Tjerita Siti Akbari,which he considered one of his best works, was adapted for the stage several times. Lie used a simplified version for a troupe of teenaged actors, which was successful in West Java.[52]In 1922 theSukabumibranch of the Shiong Tih Hui published another stage adaptation under the titlePembalesan Siti Akbari,which was being performed by the theatre troupeMiss Riboet's Orionby 1926.[h][53]TheWong brothersdirected a film entitledSiti Akbari,starringRoekiahandRd. Mochtar.The 1940 film was purportedly based on Lie's poem, although the extent of the influence is uncertain.[54]
After the rise of thenationalistmovement and the Dutch colonial government's efforts to useBalai Pustakato publish literary works for native consumption, Lie's work began to be marginalised. The Dutch colonial government usedCourt Malayas a language of administration, a language for everyday dealings that was taught in schools. Court Malay was generally spoken by the nobility in Sumatra, whereas bazaar Malay had developed as acreolefor use in trade through much of the Western archipelago; it was thus more common among the lower class. The Indonesian nationalists appropriated Court Malay to help build a national culture, promoted through the press and literature. Chinese Malay literature, written in "low" Malay, was steadily marginalised and declared to be of poor quality.[55]Tio, writing in 1958, found that the younger generation were not learning about Lie and his works,[56]and four years later Nio wrote that bazaar Malay had "made its way to the museums".[i][57]Literary historian Monique Zaini-Lajoubert indicates that no critical studies ofSair Tjerita Siti Akbariwere undertaken between 1939 and 1994.[58]
Controversy
editWriting for the Chinese-owned newspaperLay Poin 1923, Tio revealed thatSair Tjerita Siti Akbarihad been heavily influenced by the 1847 poemSjair Abdoel Moeloek,credited variously toRaja Ali Hajior his sister Saleha. He noted thatSair Siti Akbari,which Lie stated to be his own, closely followed the earlier work's plot.[59]In his 1958 biography, Tio revealed that Lie'sTjhit Liap Sengwas an amalgamation of two European novels:Jacob van Lennep'sKlaasje Zevenster(1865) andJules Verne'sLes Tribulations d'un Chinois en Chine(1879).[28]Tio noted that a third book,Pembalasan Dendam Hati,had extensive parallels with a work byXavier de Montépintranslated asDe Wraak van de Koddebeier.[34]In face of these revelations, literary critics such as Tan Soey Bing and Tan Oen Tjeng wrote that none of Lie's writings were original.[60]
This conclusion has been extensively challenged by writers who have shown original elements in Lie's work. Tio noted that in translatingKapitein Flamberge,Lie had changed the ending: the main character no longer died in an explosion ofdynamite,but survived to marry his love interest, Hermine de Morlay.[60]In exploring the similarities betweenSjair Abdoel MoeloekandSiti Akbari,Zaini-Lajoubert noted that the main plot elements in both stories are the same, although some are present in one story and not the other – or given more detail. She found that the two differed greatly in their styles, especially Lie's emphasis on description and realism.[61]Salmon wrote thatTjhit Liap Seng'sgeneral plot mostly followed that ofKlaasje Zevenster,with some sections that seemed to be direct translations. However, she found that Lie also added, subtracted, and modified contents; she noted his more sparse approach to description and the introduction of a new character, Thio Tian, who had lived inJava.[62]The Indonesian literary critic Jakob Sumardjo summarised that Lie "may be said to have been original in his style, but not in his material".[j][63]
