half-life
During the first half of the book, I was amazed at Eileen Chang's sensitivity to human feelings. The previous story was unsurprising, but Eileen Chang's description of the characters' psychology made me admire her ability to hit the nail on the head. A novel about love, but it doesn't put love in a supreme, powerful position. Generally, there are only two kinds of such works, one is Qiongyao daydreaming, which belongs to the boring pastime, the other is the Peony pavilion type of the highest ideal, which belongs to the spiritual sustice. The love expressed in "Half Life" is probably the norm in a particular environment. Eileen Chang often likes to use a word to describe, is with a "desolate sense."
