- 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".

Half a Lifelong Romance (Vintage International) von Eileen Chang
Goddamn what a story
I really hoped to like this but it seemed more like a soap opera than novel: boy meets girl, boy/girl fall in love, life repeatedly conspires to keep them apart. Although Chang wrote some of her works in English, she wrote this particular novel in Chinese and, sadly, I found the translation—although it read easily—a constant issue. The translator’s word choices and her syntax regularly made Chang’s writing appear stilted, a problem I have not had reading her works before. Worse, although the characters were well-drawn and believable, the situations were almost constantly melodramatic and only seemed to become more so as the book went on. According to the translator’s (useful) Introduction, this is “by almost any count, Eileen Chang’s most popular novel.” If so (and I have no reason to doubt it), I can only assume that the Chinese audience has wholly different expectations and reads the novel in a context that I simply cannot appreciate. Disappointing.… (mehr)
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.
