Features: Eileen Chang exists as an outstanding writer in the history of modern Chinese literature, rather than as a strange or eccentric figure. Perhaps she will not only belong to the history of modern literature. Imagine decades or even centuries from now, she might occupy a stable position in the history of Chinese literature, much like the Li Qingzhao she admired. And we know that by then, many of the modern writers we are familiar with today will likely be forgotten. This book mainly includes: "Amusing Notes on Apartment Life," "Night Camp's Trumpet," "Must It Be Named?" "Borrowing the Silver Lamp," "Studies at the Silver Palace," "Unpublished Manuscripts," "Talking About Painting Under the Umbrella," "Preface," "Quotes from Auntie Gu," "On Writing," "Dream of a Genius," "Religion of the Chinese People," "Frontispiece Photographs and Others," "Echoes and Whispers," "On Su Qing," "A Touch of Glamour," "Chinese Days and Nights," "Afterword," "Preface in Place of Preface."
