Features: She is a mysterious writer who excels at transforming life into art and is filled with almost romantic tragic emotions. She is a scion of a prominent family, but takes pride in being self-reliant. She feels deep empathy for others yet can always see the pitiable and amusing aspects of the common people. She can enjoy the spotlight and the loneliness of being alone at the same time. This alone is enough to make her a tragic legend. Eileen Chang exists as an outstanding writer in the history of modern Chinese literature, not as a strange or eccentric figure. Perhaps she will not only belong to the history of modern literature. Imagine decades or 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 many modern writers we are familiar with today will likely be forgotten by then.
