Features: The life of Eileen Chang is legendary. Her charm is like a rumor. She is the great-granddaughter of the Qing Dynasty statesman Li Hongzhang, and the turbulent changes of her family left her with a sense of desolation; she is a in the relationship with Hu Lan Cheng, with how much hatred intertwined and how much unresolved affection? The gold lock in "The Golden Cangue" still confuses people today, and the lingering passion of "Love in a Fallen City" remains as tangled as ever, shrouded in half a century, with Eileen Chang still being an alluring yet unsolvable mystery. The number of books about Eileen Chang is ever increasing, but when it comes to her context, this one is truly "a natural bloom emerging from clear water, unadorned and authentic."
