她用心靈記錄澳洲新移民

初識陳靜，是從《澳洲新移民》一書開始的，《錢江僑音》的林主編送給我此書，說此女不尋常。再識陳靜，是一部20集的紀錄片《陳靜日記——澳洲新移民的故事》，即被認為是迄今最全面、深刻反映華人華僑留學生在海外學習、生存、奮斗的大型系列紀錄片。見到陳靜，是在浙江省僑聯，她嬌美清秀，有白皙的皮膚、甜美的笑容，典型的江南柔美女子，清麗中蘊含著精致，平常中藏匿著深情。

賢妻、良母、商人、文人；主持人、記者、編輯、導演，能兼容這么多角色的女人恐怕不多，但陳靜偏偏做到了。她是澳大利亞浙商中一個極其另類的女性角色，她是浙江省政協港澳臺僑委特邀委員、省僑聯青年總會常務副會長、澳大利亞亞太集團董事局副主席、澳大利亞浙江僑民聯合會會長、大洋洲(澳大利亞、新西蘭)文化藝術聯合會主席、澳大利亞太平紳士。

陳靜的故事如同書，一頁頁；如同紀錄片，一集集。

“袋鼠皮女王”的第一桶金

“當時是出國熱，年輕人有一股出國闖天下的沖動。現在想想，太不可思議了，膽子太大了。”陳靜說。

1990年，二十出頭的陳靜來到澳大利亞墨爾本，嶄新的人生之頁正等待著她去翻閱。

在一個完全陌生的地方，既要生根，又要創造出一片屬于自己的天空。陳靜堅信，澳大利亞擁有豐富的天然資源，只要看得準，總有機會獲得成功。

陳靜剛到澳大利亞時，做的是外貿行業。她淘到的第一桶金和當地的特色物種袋鼠有關。陳靜把眼睛瞄準了澳洲的袋鼠皮。她把袋鼠皮拿到中國來進行產品研制與開發，利用袋鼠皮既柔韌又堅固的特性，加工制成高爾夫手套。一般高爾夫手套使用四五次就報廢了，而袋鼠皮做的手套可以使用數十次，使用壽命長了好幾倍。

于是，她果斷地在杭州成立合資公司，進行研制、開發和生產，然后返銷到澳洲。產品受到好評，銷路也越來越廣。這正顯示了陳靜的獨特眼光和魄力。

陳靜說，丈夫當時還預言，如果這個市場繼續做下去，說不定她就可以做“袋鼠王國”的“袋鼠皮女王”了。

袋鼠皮的成功開發與銷售后，陳靜與她先生果斷地投身于其他的產業。上世紀90年代中后期，澳洲的地產還處于低迷狀態，他們憑著敏銳的直覺，使公司開始一步一步進軍地產界，建造倉庫、構建民宅用地、進軍市中心的商業樓宇。事實證明，這個判斷與決策是正確的。到了新世紀，這些房產價值都成倍地增長，使公司擁有了雄厚的資金。

目前陳靜所在的亞太集團涉獵的領域很多元：資源、房地產、物業投資、金融投資。近年又開始進軍文化娛樂產業，辦公地點設在墨爾本的費林德大街。

陳靜享受了創業成功帶來的喜悅。對于任何一個人來說，這樣的成就算是巨大了，人生的價值也已得到了充分體現。

可是，陳靜不這么想，她有更多的打算，更高的追求。

鏡頭對準澳洲新移民

公司的運營由先生全權管理，陳靜把目光投向了另一個領域——中澳之間的文化交流，她管這叫二次創業。

2000年開始，學傳媒出身的陳靜，自己出資，集制片、撰稿、編導、主持人于一身，用了6年的時間，花費了上千萬人民幣，拍攝了兩部系列紀錄片：8集《少年留學走天涯》和20集《陳靜日記——澳洲新移民的故事》。

2002年完成的8集紀錄片《少年留學走天涯》，是她拍攝的第一部紀錄片。陳靜在這部紀錄片中，跟蹤拍攝了4個華人孩子留學澳洲的真實經歷。

小留學生王典就是其中的一位。陳靜從王典16歲獨自赴澳留學開始，整整跟蹤了5年。“小留學生”這一集開始就是王典與澳洲房東由于格格不入的生活觀念爆發了矛盾的場面。這部片子在國內十幾個省市級電視臺播出后，新華社、人民日報等20多家媒體進行了報道，北京日報、浙江日報以整版的篇幅，介紹了這部片子的內容及拍攝背景，上海電視臺、廣東電視臺、浙江電視臺在很短的時間間隔，應觀眾的要求連續播放了三次。

花費了30萬澳元）約合人民幣180萬）拍攝的第一部紀錄片《少年留學走天涯》，僅收回2萬澳元(約合人民幣12萬)，無異于“血本無歸”，但卻帶來了澳洲主流社會的接納與認可，更多的人愿意與她打交道，愿意與她合作。

在拍完《少年留學走天涯》后，陳靜被澳大利亞政府授予“太平紳士”的稱號，享有很高的社會聲譽。

陳靜又繼續投資了50萬澳元(約合人民幣300萬)，花5年時間拍攝了第二部紀錄片《陳靜日記——澳洲新移民的故事》。該片全面深刻地反映華人華僑留學生在海外學習、生存、奮斗的經歷與業績，填補了澳洲華人生活紀錄片的空白。這部片子在澳洲當地電視臺播出以后，悉尼、墨爾本的幾個大學都把它作為教材收藏了，因為這些大學都設有“中國研究”的課程。

陳靜的鏡頭更多地對準澳洲華人中的普通人的真實生活。而陳靜的真實并不局限于純自然的紀錄，她的那份真實常常是深切觀照人的靈魂、深入人的骨子里。所以，拍攝中甚至拍攝完成后的剪輯、合成就有很大的難度。特別是一些敏感的鏡頭、敏感的話題，其難度常使陳靜殫精竭慮。最長的題材，她緊密跟蹤了5年，拍攝了1000余小時的素材帶。

片里片外一樣精彩

志在峰巔的攀登者，不會陶醉在沿途的某個腳印之中。2011年伊始，陳靜又不平靜了，又有了大動作，她開始全力以赴投入到人生的第三次跨越中。

憑借公司近年在澳洲資源領域取得的顯著成效，憑借自己豐富的創業經驗和良好的人脈關系，在集團公司擁有投資銀行和證券公司的基礎上， 陳靜希望搭建一個更大的平臺，幫助中國企業去澳洲投資、兼并，上市融資，真正有效地讓中國企業實現“走出去”的愿望。

為實現這個理想，陳靜還專門開設浙江企業快速上市通道，把信息和機遇以最快的速度，傳到家鄉浙江經濟發展的前沿領域。澳洲比其他國家更具持續性發展潛力，因為澳洲是資源大國，可以為浙江“輸送資源”，陳靜要浙江企業能在國際上占領戰略制高點作出自己的貢獻。

目前，陳靜還擔任著頗多的社會職務并積極從事社會工作。她是澳洲浙江僑民聯合會會長、大洋洲文聯主席、太平紳士。她出錢出力協助中國的電視臺在澳洲拍片。自掏腰包把國內的文藝團體邀請到澳洲演出，組織召開一些作家或作品的研討會，豐富在澳中國人的文化生活，等等。

陳靜有一個令人羨慕的幸福家庭，一個事業有成、疼愛她支持她的丈夫。正因為有了丈夫的支持，她才能在鐘情的事業上“為所欲為”。陳靜還是三個孩子的媽媽，在如此繁忙的工作之余，她還是盡力去爭取做一位稱職的母親，把家庭經營得有聲有色，平時還把自己打扮得精致優雅，工作、旅游、攝影，忙得不亦樂乎。陳靜說：“我能很好地把握這些角色轉換。”

話是這么說，但只有充滿智慧的女人，才有把握自主的能力，才能如此自如地在各個不同的角色之間優雅轉換。□

Entrepreneur Documents Chinese Immigrants in Australia

By Fang Hong

I first knew of Chen Jing because of her book entitled “Chinese New Immigrants in Australia”. I received a copy from the editor-in-chief of Qianjiang Voice of Overseas Chinese， who commented that the writer was a most unusual woman. Then I came to know more about Chen Jing because of her 20-episode television documentary called “Chen Jing’s Diary: Stories of Chinese Immigrants in Australia”. It is considered the best documentary on Chinese adults and students rediscovering themselves through academic study， struggle， and survival in Australia. Then I met her in person at Zhejiang Federation of Overseas Chinese. She is a beauty typical of the women you see in the south of the Yangtze River Delta.

She has played various roles in her life: mother， wife， entrepreneur， woman of letters， television host， reporter， editor， director. And she is a very unusual Zhejiang entrepreneur in Australia. Among all the titles and positions she holds， she is a special deputy to CPPCC Zhejiang Branch and a visiting justice of Australia.

It would take a long documentary to tell her story in Australia. She arrived in Melbourne， Australia in 1990 when she was in her early twenties. Engaged in international trade， she found a new application for kangaroo skin. She sent the raw kangaroo skin back to China for research and development. She founded a joint venture in Hangzhou， her hometown， to produce golf gloves made of kangaroo skin. It was the first bucket of gold Chen and her husband got in Australia. In the mid 1990s， the couple turned their attention to the estate development. Today， Melbourne-based Asia-Pacific Group is a large business in the field of resources， estate， logistics， investment into finance and entertainment.

While leaving the business operation to her husband， she turned to another field: cultural exchanges between China and Australia. She regarded her new direction as her second endeavor. Once a college media major， Chen Jing spent six years and 10 million RMB making two documentaries， one being the eight-episode “Young Chinese Students in Australia” and the other being “Chen Jing’s Diary: Stories of Chinese Immigrants in Australia”. She made them almost single-handedly. She was the producer， scriptwriter， director， and host of the two projects.

The eight-episode documentary， her very first media work， followed the real life of four Chinese youngsters studying and living in Australia. Wang Dian was one of the four Chinese youngsters Chen Jing followed. Wang was 16 when the story began and 21 when the story ended. The documentary was widely screened across China. News media covered the sensational report. Beijing Daily and Zhejiang Daily assigned pages to introduce the documentary and its production background. Television studios in Shanghai， Guangdong， and Zhejiang， places which send large numbers of youngsters overseas for academic study， screened the documentary three times at short intervals as the audiences demanded.

This documentary was made at the cost of 300，000 Australian dollars but the return was only 20，000 Australian dollars. Though a financial loss， the documentary was widely recognized in Australia. More people became willing to work with her.

Chen Jing holds that you need to do something for the mainstream society and Chinese community if you want to be recognized by the mainstream society of Australia. She became a visiting justice by the Australian Government after she made the documentary.

Her second documentary， “Chen Jing’s Diary: Stories of Chinese Immigrants in Australia”， was a five-year project with a cost of 500，000 Australian dollars. The documentary features in-depth stories covering a larger scope of Chinese life in Australia. In the episodes， a Chinese woman marries a foreigner; another Chinese woman breaks her family and marriage just in order to go abroad; a journalist operates his newspaper and then turns it into a media group; a newspaper struggles; old parents join their immigrant adult children only to find ideological conflict in their new lives; a Chinese student gambles away all his money and gets his student visa revoked by the Australian authorities; a Chinese woman artist marries someone in order to obtain the green card; a woman writer maintains a relationship in exchange of financial security; a sex worker pays back her husband’s gamble debts; a Chinese male prostitute in his fifties does not speak English at all.

Unlike other producers and directors， Chen Jing did not work with finished scripts before the camera rolled. She did not determine a topic in advance. She got the all the raw materials on the film first. Then she would study the footage and see what got revealed. Usually an episode took shape only in the post-production stage.

And her truthful account is by no means naturalistic. The truth in her documentary touches the soul of life. Some topics and footages were so sensitive that she had to talk with the people many times before they agreed to let her do the story her way. She disliked videotaping secretly or videotaping setups according to prepared scripts， for she felt such shots took people out of context. She followed her subjects and talked with them. One episode alone took her five years and 10，000-hour footage.

“The process of and the value in making documentaries is enjoyable，” says Chen Jing. “I have accumulated some wealth after more than a decade of hard business work. I can only use a limited part of the money. What value can I find for the wealth? I wanted to record history and give my compatriots a frame of reference when they consider the option of going abroad. I also want to give foreigners a frame of reference so that they can better understand Chinese culture.”

“My documentaries are now in the collection of some Australian libraries. This means more than monetary value，” Chen comments. “We are overseas Chinese， and some of us must take it upon ourselves to promote cultural exchanges. I believe cultural exchanges always precede trade between two nations. The new-generation of Chinese must take this responsibility. It is never right to make money and remain satisfied with a purse full of money.”

Chen has put a period to her documentary-making passion. The year 2011 marks the entrepreneur shifting her attention to business again. With a platform of an investment bank and a securities company in their business， Chen and her husband now hope to help Chinese enterprises enter Australian financial and corporate circles. Australia offers big potentials in natural resources， which China needs badly. Enterprises from Zhejiang can definitely buy or merge with Australian resources businesses to ensure that Zhejiang will have abundant supply of resources for its future growth and prosperity.

Chen is happily married with three children.□
