Eileen Chang is a singular and legendary figure in 20th century modern Chinese literature. With a cool gaze she outlined deep emotions, capturing with exquisite brushstrokes the heart-stopping moments in ordinary lives. Hong Kong — this diverse, fluid city where tradition and modernity overlap, East meets West, and survival intertwines with desire — profoundly shaped the colour palette of her writing. The green hills of the Mid-Levels, the sea at Repulse Bay, the“ding ding”of the trams: Eileen Chang’s Hong Kong is filled with striking colour contrasts, a fusion of splendour and desolation, contradictory yet captivating.
