- Eileen Chang [born Zhang Ying, renamed Zhang Ailing] (September 30, 1920 – September 8, 1995) was one of the most influential modern Chinese writers.
Chang is noted for her fiction writings that deal with the tensions between men and women in love, and are considered by some scholars to be among the best Chinese literature of the period. Chang's portrayal of life in 1940s Shanghai and Japanese-occupied Hong Kong is remarkable in its focus on everyday life and the absence of the political subtext which characterised many other writers of the period. The Taiwanese author Yuan Chiung-chiung drew inspiration from Chang. The poet and University of Southern California professor Dominic Cheung commented "had it not been for the political division between the Nationalist and Communist Chinese, she would have almost certainly won a Nobel Prize".

The Rice Sprout Song: a novel of modern China Tekijä: Eileen Chang
My first book by her. I think I'll have to try another. Interesting story but just not enough meat there for me. Time to find another one and see how it goes. (Ang Lee's film of her short story "Lust, Caution," however, is brilliant!)
Wang Chia-chih is a beautiful young student who is sent undercover to seduce Mr Yee, a powerful government official in WWII-era Shanghai. I can see how a good movie could be spun out of a novella like this, but I have to imagine that much of its power is lost in translation.
張愛玲的半自傳。因為取材自真人真事，所以人物多、細節多，這個部分還滿有趣的。主角九莉非常不討喜，她看待周遭的人事物非常負面，總是從批評的角度，別人有不周全的地方就覺得別人對不起她，但是她自己好像從不為人付出。她唯有有熱情的對象就是她的兩個男朋友，但是....寫起她的熱情感覺也是冷冷的，她寫一些她說過的情話，做過的熱情的事，但是是一種冷眼旁觀的角度，身為讀者的感想就是困惑，她到底喜歡男友哪一點 :P 有趣的地方就是很多犀利的人生百態的觀察，還有錯綜複雜但是感覺很真實的人物網路。… (lisätietoja)
Started as part of a class for college, finished months later for Women in Translation month.
I thought the book was fine. Like any collection, quality fluctuated pretty wildly depending on which story you were reading. An interesting voice. Unfortunately, my least favorite story was the one translated by Ms. Chang herself. I'm not sure if this was due to the difference in the prose or whether I would have disliked it most no matter the translator, but I thought a story translated by the author herself would be interesting. Ah well.… (lisätietoja)
