Commemorative Edition



He held her in his arms, and then he knew,

When we are alone together, we feel absolutely safe.

Apart from this, there is no other security in this world.

As long as he was with her, he could endure anything and find a way to overcome any hardship.

He must take good care of her and himself.

They must find a way to survive these brutal times.



University graduate Liu Quan responded to the government's call to participate in the "Land Reform" movement in rural northwest China, where he developed a crush on Huang Jin, a woman traveling with him. The two enthusiastically joined the movement, only to find that the banner of reform couldn't mask the brutal burning, looting, and plundering. Their only solace was their mutual dependence. However, Liu Quan was soon assigned to work in Shanghai, where the ensuing political struggles not only extinguished his ideals but also cost him the most precious love of his life... In "A Fallen City," Eileen Chang confronted social issues head-on. In an era where right and wrong were blurred and human reason had lost its foundation, she depicted the intellectuals' struggle between home and country, bearing heartbreaking witness to the scars of history.
