《我们如何消逝》（英语：How We Disappeared）是新加坡作家李晶晶于2019年以英语创作的历史小说。
背景
这本书源自李晶晶早期的一篇短篇小说《纸板女人》，该作品曾收录于她的首部小说集《如果我能告诉你》（2013）中。小说中的主角“照弟”一名，取自作者母亲的名字，其意为“照顾弟弟”（照弟）。李晶晶希望借此作品将焦点放在日军占领新加坡时被迫充当军妓、沦为奴隶的“慰安妇”的遭遇上，而非仅仅如其他相关文学作品般着重于抗日行动或男性战俘的经历。
剧情
故事设定于2000年的新加坡：一名十二岁的男孩偶然听到祖母含糊的自白，进而揭开了她在日据时期被迫沦为性奴的悲惨过去。
评价
《金融时报》的Zoë Apostolides赞扬本书，认为“李晶晶在不同篇章之间展现出高超的结构技巧，将之交织成一个深具感染力的整体，并透过呈现这些分散的故事，让那些消逝的人重新获得存在。”
《我们如何消逝》入围了新加坡文学奖决选名单，并进入百利女性小说奖及历史文学协会新人皇冠奖（英语：HWA Debut Crown，专为历史题材作品设立）的长名单。
2022 年，本书亦被收录于“白金禧年书单”（英语：Big Jubilee Read），该书单精选了70部由英联邦作家创作的作品以庆祝伊丽莎白二世女王登基七十周年。

How We Disappeared: A Novel is a 2019 historical fiction novel by Singaporean author Jing-Jing Lee, written in English.
Background
Lee developed the book from a short story she wrote, "Cardboard Lady," that appeared in her first collection, If I Could Tell You (2013). She named the main character Chiow Tee after her own mother; the name means "care for a brother" (照弟 zhàodì). She wanted to focus attention on the "comfort women" taken to work as slaves in Japanese military brothels, unlike other fiction about the occupation of Singapore which focused on resistance violence and male prisoners of war.
Plot
Singapore, the year 2000: a twelve-year-old boy hears a mumbled confession from his grandmother on her deathbed, which leads him to doubt all he thought he knew about his families history.
Reception
In the Financial Times, Zoë Apostolides praised the novel, saying "Lee intersperses these sections with real structural skill to form a deeply affecting whole, and one that reincarnates the disappeared by telling their many disparate stories."
How We Disappeared was shortlisted for the Singapore Literature Prize, and longlisted for the Women's Prize for Fiction and the HWA Debut Crown (a prize for historical writing).
In 2022, How We Disappeared was included on the Big Jubilee Read, a list of 70 books by Commonwealth authors produced to celebrate Queen Elizabeth II's Platinum Jubilee.
