Eileen Chang The eyebrow-sweeping talents and children are like each other, and the scenery of the Red Mansion in the dream is different. Early identification of the name Diaolian Gouwei, gradually suspicious frown Dai magic fairy. Clouds hang down to the sea to set up the real book, and the shad bone Tang Xiang hates the lost book. After capturing the five or six drafts of the Prison God, Hong Meng restarted and returned to the beginning. I want to write about Zhang Ailing. I write about her, not about her as a person, such as biography, creative taste, and so on.I am not qualified to write these; I want to write about her "red study" characteristics, literary vision, and aesthetic talent.

I lived with her at the same time, but I had no literary relationship. I had no desire to understand her when she was alive. Only after she passed away did I regret that I hadn't studied her "red studies" earlier.What qualifications do I have to write about her?It's really not self-explanatory and bold. But it's not without reason that I suddenly thought about it, it's just because of my happiness.I am an admirer of talent and wisdom, especially those who are attracted by Cao Xueqin's saying that "good and evil come from two endowments", talented men and women whose "intelligence and beauty are above tens of thousands of people".But for such a person, the experience in his life is not "not many", but extremely rare.This makes me often think of hate.Later, I finally said to myself: If you talk about a really talented woman, Zhang Ailing is almost as good as her concubine?I haven't seen anyone who is comparable to the second one.

This is why I want to write about her. Her life, knowing people and talking about the world, including "My Sister Eileen Chang" written by her younger brother, needless to be an outside talk of "next door" - and it is not what I am interested in.What I want to write is limited to the aspect of "Hongxue". I don't know anything about Eileen Chang.This is because I like ancient masterpieces, and I can’t finish them just by reading so many famous ones. I don’t have the time and energy to pay attention to a contemporary writer, not to mention that she has already lived overseas, and there is no opportunity for communication. In other words, It's not right, it should be said that I have no idea or desire to understand her at all.Until 1987, when she was a guest at the University of Wisconsin in the United States and wrote the book "Dream of Red Mansions and Chinese Culture", her daughter went to the library to borrow it on her behalf. .I know that she is also a writer who researches "red".

However, it is unbelievable to say that until the fall of that year, before leaving the United States and returning to China, I did not take a serious look at it, and when I packed up my luggage, I returned it to the library. That is to say, my predestined relationship with her "Hong Xue" can be described as superficial and superficial. The book has been placed on the side of the desk for a long time, but I didn't even read it. And the allusion of returning home is a bit appropriate, right? Maybe there will be a questioner: Why don't you take a look?There are two reasons for this:

First, when I saw the title of this book, I felt very disgusting: what "Nightmare"?What kind of emotion does it cause us to put such an ugly word on such a precious book by Xueqin?I don't like it very much, and I don't really want to open the book to take a look at it from here. Second, when I barely took it in my hand and glanced at the content of its catalog, I knew that it was mainly a study of editions, and at that time I was busy with the topic of writing, which happened to be the farthest from the "entanglement" of editions; I didn't want to distract Spiritual power—if you look at her version arguments, you don’t know how much "controversy" it will cause. In addition, when I turned to a page, I suddenly saw her "hodgepodge" comments on the book "A Dream of Red Mansions", I feel that this person is a bit too crazy. My book is the first pioneer to put forward the proposition of Zhiyanzhai's comment on the three authentic books and make a preliminary research. How should "hodgepodge" become "little pure dish"?I still can't figure out her high opinion... So I closed the book and said to myself that I should settle the case when I have a chance in the future.

Then, the questioner will question: If this is the case, why write about other people's "red studies"? In fact, the answer is not difficult: one moment, another moment, time goes by, chances come together - from 1987 to now, 17 years have passed, people's views on things will change with time, and the situation changes , can be different from the past, how strange is that? I admire her very much now, and think that she is a strange figure in the "History of Red Studies", which is beyond the reach of Changliu.It is very necessary to write about her, which is conducive to the development of academics.

The portraits she painted for her own novels fully exude a kind of handsomeness. She is the only master of portraits I have ever seen, and I am impressed.It can be seen that she is definitely not "framed" by the name of a writer. If she engages in any kind of artistic creation, she will be a first-class master. I am convinced of this and praise it. She was born in 1920, two years younger than me.It is a great regret in my life that I cannot meet with my contemporaries, and I am also very ashamed. When I am overseas, I should seek out a place to contact in order to learn from them, or to reduce misunderstandings and enhance compatibility.

Yongzhong Diao Xueqin, the royal family of the Qing Dynasty, said: "It's hateful that we don't know each other at the same time, and weep for Marquis Cao several times." A few times, he concealed his scroll and sighed Zhang Jun, and Hong learned to stand up to the first army. The giant eyes burn the rhinoceros and the mink dog judges, and the hairpin skirt is absolutely different from the vulgar hairpin. At the time of Jiashen Zhongchun, the magnolia was already in bloom.
