10、 kill her .Then she ran away and went to her mothers home. However, her mother went to the United Kingdom in a not very long time. In 1939, she was admitted to the University of Hong Kong to study literature. She also received a qualification to study in University of London, but she had to give up
11、the opportunity because of the ongoing Pacific war. Unfortunately, Hong Kong fell into enemys hand just before graduation; Eileen had no alternative but to returned to Shanghai. 1.3 Marriage Furthermore, Eileens marriage was another tragedy. The marriage between Eileen and Hu Lancheng never brought
12、her happiness but memories of sadness. Another great blow is the creations of literature cannot get societys acknowledgement in those days. Eileen had to travel to strange places where shed never been. 1.4 Death Eileen passed away in her apartment in California, a city of Rochester Avenue, Westwood,
13、 in 1973 .She just gone away for Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, at the age of 75. 2. Some Details about Eileens Achievements 2.1 Literature writings As early as 1932, Eileens debut has already born. The work was published in the magazine on the Santa Maria Girls she was only 12 years old. T
14、his is the first one and is also the unique fiction. In 1933, St. Marys Girls School magazine published her first essay named Fade. Hong Kong fell into enemys hands in 1942. Eileen had to go back to Shanghai, she wrote critic films to the Times such as Between-law, The Opium War, Autumn Song, dark c
15、loud cover on, flowered, spring youth, by Queen of the stage etc. She also wrote China Life and clothing (Chinese life and Fashions) for the Germany English magazine called “Twentieth Century“. Eileen published her classic “Eighteen Springs“, “Fallen“ .The former was iv published in 1943, and five y
16、ears later another classic was published. 2.2 Achievements During Eileens 75 years of life, she had completed more than 30 classic Essays .Furthermore; there were also more than 20 articles manuscripts .Eileens works are divided into nine volumes. The total number of her works has not been precise f
17、igured. We only know that its never lack of scriptures in Eileens writing. The genre of Eileens work includes essays, fiction, reviews etc. Eileen was a writer had gained great achievements both in the quantity or quality in literary. Her favorite novels not only popular among young people, but also
18、 deeply attract the majority of women. 3. The marriage of Eileen 3.1 Eileens marriage was some kind of tragedy in some degree. 3.2 First marriage The encounter of Eileen and Hu Launchings was a miracle. He was deeply attracted by her works, and he also understood the true feelings deep inside Eileen
19、s heart. He went to see her in her place but she refused to see him. However, she changed her idea at the second morning and then she visited him at his place. They fell in love with each other during the short period of drinking a cup of tea. He understood her, admired her, encouraged her, praised
20、her and helped her. Meanwhile, she demonstrated her deep love to him, the only lovers in her mind. They were happy at the very start, but Hu launchings real status buried the root of tragedy of their love. Eileen told him:” Even if you just come and go, I will accept it!” Eileen didnt care what the
21、future will be; she was only caring about the love from him. Although they spent a short time together, it gives her a huge impact. They were encountered in 1944 and three years later they separated. Its hard to say whether their breaking up was good or bad for her, but after saying goodbye to Hu, E
22、ileens creation was no doubt to getting into the low ebb. Fortunately, this was not the end of creation of Eileens literary. Eileen had no ability to change the situation. She told Hu Lancheng that she will fade away. However, not only the Eileens heart withering, her writing talent to shock the wor
23、ld was deeply entrenched either. Despite the long years to come, she never did write as desolate as “Golden Lock“ this poignant article again. Eileen was on the list of “cultural traitor criminal history“ published in 1945, which more or less for the reason of Hu Lancheng. 3.3 Second marriage Eileen
24、s second husband was an American. In 1956, Eileen got married with Alice Lai, a leftist writer in American. It is reassuring that they accompanied each other untill Lais death in 1967. 4. Two works of Eileen 4.1 Fallen In “Fallen”, Eileen created an image of hardship of love .The marriage in it succ
25、eed ultimately but experienced twists and turns. The story happened in Shanghai, 1940s. Bai liusu married a prodigal son and they had to divorce. She was deeply hurt when she went back to her parents home and lived with them. Her brother and sister looked down upon her evidently. It seems that the o
26、nly way should be taken into consideration was remarrid. By Grand Xus introducing, Liusu got to know Fan Liuyuan, a person returned from British. They fell in love v with each other at the first sight. Liuyuan went to Hong Kong for official affairs. Then Liusu get Xu Tainans invitation when Tainan w
27、ent to Hong Kong. Finally, Liusu and Liuyuan meet again in there. However, there was no plan to get married in Liuyuans mind, then Liusu back to Shanghai but unwilling to make a compromise. Liuyuan asked her to come to Hong Kong in the phone. For the driven of love, Liusu back to Hong Kong and cohab
28、ited with him. The Pacific war came soon, because of Japanese occupation of Hong Kong and Liuyuan could not go to United Kingdom, they made a wedding ad in the newspaper for the help of all the people in Hong Kong. Liusu and Liuyuan finally get into the marriage hall. Its not difficult to find that
29、the image of Liusu just reflected something about the true wishes in Eileens mind. Her ideality that would not come true finally was realized in her novel. 4.2 Eighteen springs In her another classic called” Eighteen Springs”, Eileen wrote these feelings that several young peoples not mystery experi
30、ence but over and over again as beautiful and classical as she can. The story is not the new one, either does the images. The difference is she can change these old things into a new level that all of her readers dont think its old. The words and situations, even all details that Eileen could make t
31、hem alive. They are indispensable. As many readers have pointed that if you read these words, you will find its easy to attract your attention, but if you are asked what exactly the beautiful is, its not a easy job anymore. In this novel, those earth-shattering historical events in old China is not
32、something scaring, the love in troubled times let you know how and what to cherish. To everyones disappoint, the love ever deeply existed in everyones mind was just slowly desalted, and finally disappeared. And what disappeared at the same time was something called hate. 5. The Movie” Eileen Chang”
33、The whole movie plays the life emotion experience of Eileen Chang and her heart road process by the style of essay. Eileen passed away in America, in 8th, September, 1995. By choosing the sky in 10 years to play, the director finally realized his feeling knot about Eileen. He had paid several years
34、to write and changed it for seven times and missed the stage for three. Then ten years later, the movie finally was played on the screen. The movie never slides away the dispute person. In Eileens whole life, Hu lancheng was the person that cannot be got around but again to be most controversy one.
35、His 4 times of marriage are 8 times in love make much fans of Eileen hate him to the bone and think that the whole life out of count of Eileen result from his abuse of love at start but eventually leave her alone. In the directors eyes, Hu lancheng is a cute person to be loved, otherwise Eileen woul
36、dnt love him. However, he was also a person that was easy to be hated for his falling in love with too many other women. He was the one who suffused abuse in love, but he was sincere to every. At least, he was sincere to Eileen. Another characteristic of the film is that the famous Dan acted as Eile
37、en and showed conflicts, the magnanimity, the fear deep in her mind thoroughly. The film was so excellent that it seems like she is still alive in a place next to us. vi Conclusion Eileen was a writer with fecundity of literature. Her classic also contributed necessary strength for Chinese literary.
38、 Her works were widespread. Her classic sayings are also considered as the love philosophy of many young people. Her novels are even received by the youth for the extremely value. On the other hand, her style is also allowed much more afterwards to mimic. Eileens feelings career is as nothing of per
39、fect as marriage but still dont lack of classic, this also vii provides her for many or little inspire or inspirations for her creations. Finally, end this by a word of Eileen:” I want you know, there always be a person waiting for you in the world, ignoring wherever and whenever you are.” these wor
40、ds are also go with Eileen herself although she has already far away from us.
