◑ A collection of short and medium-length stories by Eileen Chang. This collection includes short and medium-length stories written between 1944 and 1947, including "When We Were Young," "Flowers Wither," "Hongluan Jubilee," "Red Rose and White Rose," "The End of the Play," "Yin Baoyan Sends Flowers to the Tower," "Osmanthus Steams A Xiao's Sad Autumn," "Waiting," "Mercy," "Genesis," "Tulips," and "How Much Hate."
◑In this world, there is no emotion that is not riddled with holes. — "Showing Mercy"
◑Perhaps every man has had two such women, at least two. If you marry a red rose, over time, the red will become a smear of mosquito blood on the wall, while the white will still be "the bright moonlight before the bed"; if you marry a white rose, the white will become a grain of rice stuck on your clothes, while the red will be a cinnabar mole on your heart. - "Red Rose and White Rose"
◑Only young people are free. When we get older, we sink inch by inch into the quagmire of habit. Not getting married, not having children, and avoiding a fixed life are useless. Lonely people have their own quagmire. - "When We Were Young"
◑Brand new hardcover, exquisite collection, the eternal legend built by the moon.
