Features: Eileen Chang has many lost works aside from her early publications. Many of them remain undiscovered to this day, such as the screenplay for Love in a Fallen City and the film script for Unrequited Love. There are also numerous later works, such as the long autobiographical novel The Last Chamber, which she poured years of effort into writing. Unless all these works are unearthed one by one, a true "complete collection" will remain elusive. Beyond being an outstanding novelist and essayist, Eileen Chang was also a prolific screenwriter and playwright. She had a special fondness for cinema and began her career by writing film reviews in English. Her discernment and refinement in this field continue to impress people today. Love in a Fallen City was adapted into a stage play and caused a sensation in Shanghai at the time, while My Lady Precious from the same period is undoubtedly a classic in the history of modern Chinese cinema. This Supplement serves as a commemoration of her achievements in this field.
