傳記回憶錄一類作品，往往起着補時之短、補史之闕的重要作用，而不僅僅是“一家 之言”或“一隅之見”。這也是近年來個人隨筆文集和傳記回憶錄書寫方興未艾的原因所在。《雪 域留痕》是一本由內地和澳門學者集體撰寫的回憶錄，兼具文學韻味與史料價值。十位作者陳述 自身遭遇經歷，既是個人遭際和時代風雲的展現，更是窺探歷史並警示人性的一面鏡子。

Among all literary genres, biographical memoirs are the works that bear important historical referential value, making up the insufficiencies of our times and history. This is also the reason why the writings of both personal essays and biographical memoirs have been flourishing in recent years. Traces Left in the Snowfield, a memoir collectively written by scholars from Macau and Mainland China, can be considered as the new representative of memoir literature in Macau regarding its literary charm and historical value. With ten authors narrating the experiences they ’ve suffered, this book is not only a reflection of personal sufferings and changes of times, but also a mirror from which we get a glimpse of history and warnings for humanity.
