Looking for Eileen Chang in Kadoorie Hill

"Because of understanding, there is compassion." "We can't go back." "After seeing him, she became very low, so low that she was in the dust." "Long is hardship, short is life." "Life is a gorgeous robe, crawling with fleas." You may be familiar with these quotes, or you may fall in love with Eileen Chang because of them. But do you really understand Eileen Chang? Did you know what Eileen Chang was most afraid of? What was her favorite food? What divination method she liked most? Have you ever written a letter to Wong Kar-wai? Do you look at Li Shangyin's poetry from a Freudian perspective? Can you write a sentence like "I do my best and damn the rest / Do my damnedest and the rest be damned"? When you read Eileen Chang's letters, essays, and notebooks written to friends, you’d discover that her inner world is so rich and complex. Let's follow the author into Eileen Chang's inner world, reacquaint ourselves with works such as "Little Reunions" and "The Rice Sprout Song," and learn about her life from Shanghai to Hong Kong to the United States.
