越戰女孩 「難忘火吻瞬間」

得名照 成宣傳工具 困噩夢40年


金芙赤裸逃命的畫面,是知名越戰照片。美聯社越南

【莊蕙嘉╱綜合外電報導】越戰時一名越南女孩家鄉被轟炸,衣服著火後一絲不掛,在路上狂奔哭號的照片,成了最知名的戰地照之一。40年過去,照片中的女孩已是中年婦人,她說從未忘記那夢魘般的一刻,「我想逃離那個女孩,但她不放過我」。



金芙和恩人黃公崴始終保持聯絡,圖為1989年所攝。美聯社
1972年6月8日,9歲金芙(Kim Phuc)住的展鵬村,遭南越戰機丟汽油彈轟炸,她背部和左手著火,衣物被燒光。她邊哭喊「好燙!」邊跟著村人跑到路上,被美聯社華裔越南攝影記者黃公崴(Huynh Cong Ut)拍下照片,並送她就醫。

照片獲普立茲獎
隨後黃公崴洗出這張令人震撼的照片,但牴觸美聯社「不得刊登裸露照」規定。經主管力爭,照片發出震驚全球,被反戰者引為象徵,翌年更贏得普立茲新聞攝影獎。
金芙全身30%三度灼傷,黃公崴等外國記者助她就醫。數年後越共政府發現她就是照片中的「汽油彈女孩」,利用她當政治宣傳工具,讓她生不如死,「我恨不得和親人及士兵一起死了算了」。
1986年金芙獲政府特許赴古巴求學,認識也來自越南的夫婿,兩人於1992年結婚。

蜜月跳機加拿大

金芙在蜜月回程班機於加拿大加油時跳機申請庇護。如今她定居加國,育有兩子;她仍在意身上的傷疤,常穿長袖衣服。
金芙和恩人黃公崴多年來保持聯絡,黃暱稱她「我的女兒」。經這麼多年,金芙總算敢正眼看這張照片,從痛苦中解脫。
