◑Rumors, written on water, are words that are short-lived, yet hopefully spread as quickly as rumors. — Zhang Ailing ◑Anyone who has read "Rumors" will immediately recognize that it contains content from "Private Whispers" and "The Remains of Ashes" (Hong Kong War), albeit in a different light, like "Rashomon." — Zhang Ailing ◑Zhang Ailing's literary career began with prose. Even if she had never written a novel, her prose would have made her one of the finest essayists in 20th-century China. — Chen Zishan ◑The protagonist of all of Zhang Ailing's essays is Zhang Ailing herself, reflecting her life's experiences and feelings. — Zhi'an ◑It's still Zhang Ailing, after all. She's truly lovable. Her prose is beyond compare.

From the 1940s to the 1990s, Eileen Chang's prose spanned half a century. "Rumors" compiles her prose from her literary debut and peak years, between the ages of 20 and 25. This book contains many beloved and dazzling lines, such as "Life is a gorgeous robe, crawling with fleas," "Among thousands of people, you meet the person you meet. Among thousands of years, in the boundless wilderness of time, not a step too early, not a step too late, just in time..." Autobiographical works such as "Dream of Genius," "Childish Talk," and "Private Whispers" offer sensitive and detailed records of her life. Works such as "My Own Articles" and "Honest Words About Love in a Fallen City" offer insightful analyses of the writer's own writing. Works such as "Memories of Apartment Life," "Sights on the Road," "The Trumpet at Night Camp," "With a Girl in the Car," and "After All a Shanghainese" offer observations on urban life and aesthetic insights into the complexities of the world. Reading "Rumors" reveals the true and independent Eileen Chang of her youth.
