From the 1940s to the 1990s, Eileen Chang's prose career spanned half a century. "Gorgeous Fate" compiles her prose from the middle of her life. As she entered a new phase of her life, her understanding of the world and human nature deepened, and her writing skills matured. This book includes essays such as "To Readers," "Days and Nights in China," "Gorgeous Fate," "Remembering Hu Shi," and "Notes from the World," as well as a special addition to her posthumous prose "Notes from a Foreign Land." "Notes from a Foreign Land," which Eileen Chang declared "a necessity," chronicles a deeply moving journey from Shanghai to Wenzhou and served as the inspiration for "A Little Reunion." Reading "Gorgeous Fate" reveals Eileen Chang at the midpoint of her life.
