Correspondence Collection of Zhang Ailing and Zhuang Xinzheng
About This Novel
The first-hand information about Zhang Ailing's late creation and life profile is published for the first time in an expanded version of the thirty-year correspondence between Zhang Ailing and Zhuang Xinzheng. In 1956, Eileen Chang immigrated to the United States and died in Los Angeles in September 1995. For nearly forty years in the United States, Eileen Chang lived in seclusion and rarely interacted with others. Since 1966, all important matters such as work and moving have been handled by Zhuang Xinzheng. He has written as many as eighty-four letters to him. The content of the letters may be long or short. They may talk about work changes and assigned tasks, or tell about reading experiences and current life conditions... The friendship of "half teacher and half friend" is reflected in every detail. "You are in the Pantheon of a very small number of friends that I trust. It has been the same for ten or twenty years, but I hope you can forgive me for my seemingly unkindness." -- Zhang Ailing
