Zhang Ailing was born in Shanghai in September 1920. She had a father who smoked opium to beg a mistress and a mother who advocated Western life and pursued freedom and independence. The family life was not warm, but her great-grandfather named Li Hongzhang and the famous

The grandfather named Zhang Peilun became the irrefutable proof that Zhang's fans believed that her birth was extraordinary. Having aristocratic blood has become an indelible label on Zhang Ailing.

Her parents divorced when she was in junior high school. Zhang Ailing, who was 12 or 13 years old, followed her father. However, she soon fell into a difficult life due to the arrival of her stepmother. After that, she was no longer a young lady who could wear beautiful clothes and promised to travel around the world. Instead, she

It was my stepmother’s old cotton robe and the endless torture.

After being framed again by his stepmother and beaten severely by his father, he finally ran away from home and changed his life. His mother's acceptance only taught him to be independent, and his choice to continue studying was just a matter of time.

A dream that ended before it even began.

In 1938, a 17-year-old female student from a missionary middle school wrote this sentence: "I am full of joy of life when there is no interaction with others. But I cannot overcome this little biting annoyance. Life is a...

The gorgeous robe is covered with lice?" No one realizes how many lives the person who said this will change.

In 1942, Eileen Chang came to Shanghai and lived with her aunt in a Changde apartment near Jing'an Temple. She spent a rare comfortable and happy time here, and began her "become famous early, if it comes too late, happiness"

It’s not that fun either.” It’s a fun journey.

Zhang Ailing, who was only in her 20s, was full of literary thoughts and wrote many famous novels, which made her instantly famous. What is even more amazing is that when she was enjoying the joy of success, she still did not forget to say: "Even if I am an individual

Wait, time is in a hurry, it is already being destroyed, and there is still greater destruction to come. If the word I use most is desolate, it is because there is this kind of bewildering threat in the ideological background." Soon he said.

The legendary love affair with Hu Lancheng began, but it was just an erotic dream that she would eventually wake up from. Because of this, she was out of sight of most Chinese people for a long time and stayed outside the bustling literary world.

The victory of the Anti-Japanese War and the founding of New China in 1949 put Zhang Ailing in a political dilemma. Then she had to choose to flee to Hong Kong again to continue her studies. In 1955, she came to the United States and began her wandering and unstable life.

This trip to a foreign land was probably a happy one for Zhang Ailing, because he met Mr. Hu Shi, who was his life mentor, met his second husband, Mr. Lai Ya, and spent a comfortable period

However, life is always torturous. Soon after, he lost contact with Mr. Hu Shi. Later, Mr. Hu Shi and Lai Ya died successively.

Then there was another escape, and Eileen Chang chose to settle in Los Angeles. During the days when she lived in the United States, Eileen Chang had no fixed residence and lived a life of constant moving. During this period of wandering, it was also the time when she rose again in the domestic literary world.

In the 1980s, Zhang Ailing's works were gradually understood and accepted by more people, and even caused a Zhang Ailing craze. However, in her later years, Zhang Ailing did not want to be disturbed as always, and no one could take the initiative to contact him except asking someone to help find her.

She would not take the initiative to contact others, maybe because of her personality, it just made his life so miserable.

In her later years, Zhang Ailing became even more withdrawn. She usually didn't like to talk. She would stay at home for more than ten days and often ate frozen food in her apartment.

"Contrast" was published in 1994, and then the United Daily News awarded her a special lifetime achievement award. September 8, 1995 was the day before the traditional Chinese festival - the Mid-Autumn Festival. Everyone was preparing or had already returned home.

I was preparing to reunite with my family to enjoy the moon during the Mid-Autumn Festival, but in Los Angeles, when the police opened the door of a room in Logic East Street Apartment, what came into view was a serene black and white picture, a red cheongsam, a white

The manuscript paper, the blue writing pen and the still peaceful Zhang Ailing wrapped in the cheongsam.

No one knows that this deceased old lady was the talented Chinese writer Zhang Ailing who is popular around the world.

Zhang Ailing's life is legendary. She experienced many twists and turns and was entangled with many rights and wrongs. Zhang Ailing's life was also very secular, like a vulgar love novel. At the same time, Zhang Ailing's life was still desolate, no matter when she was a child.

She never got enough love when she was young or in her old age. In the end, Zhang Ailing’s life was happy. She lived freely and truly, never being constrained by reality, flying like a beautiful butterfly in the world.

In the meantime, a generation of strange women in the Republic of China finally came to an end, and the stories and legends about it will remain in people's memories for a long time for future generations to comment and reflect on. Zhang Ailing's words are the most exquisite feast, what she left to the world.

Gift.
