Features: The author Chun Zi spent eight years exploring the traces of Eileen Chang's life in Shanghai and wrote this book, "Eileen Chang's Shanghai Map." It vividly portrays the life journey of this talented woman. Shanghai is where the female writer Eileen Chang was born, grew up, had her first love, and achieved fame. She lived in Shanghai for twenty-five years, leaving behind countless stories, sighs, and vicissitudes. The old houses where Eileen Chang lived are not only precious but also full of elegance, like Kunqu opera, which is her slow, lingering melody outside of her words, such as the ink stains on Xuan paper—originally just a dot, but spreading out to become a vast expanse. The small peephole on the door is also a story.
