Features: What one wants to do or not to do is always one's own business. From now on, I won't write any more. I'll sing, dance, race cars, or even set up a stall and sell pancakes—it will be what I love. I just love—making pancakes for others to eat. So what. This book is accompanied by illustrations drawn by Eileen Chang herself for her novels, allowing readers to better appreciate her dedication and extraordinary talent. It is not an exaggeration to call Eileen Chang a "rarity" in the history of Chinese literature. In her hands, words truly come to life, piercing straight into your heart. Reading her works, you will find that her perspective on the joys of life is truly exquisite! Reading other books may teach you (reasons), give you knowledge, or evoke awe, but only reading Eileen Chang's articles brings you true happiness. This illustrated novel collection includes eight novels, with the text based on the revised edition of "Legend" first published by Shanghai Shanhe Book Company in November 1946. It also features all the illustrations Eileen Chang created for these eight novels, as well as a handwriting sample of "Red Rose and White Rose," making it a true author-illustrated novel book. Eileen Chang is authentic, whether in her approach to writing or her emotions. Yet, joyful words cannot save hurtful feelings. We enjoy the pleasure she gives through her writing while also savoring an unspeakable bitterness.
