(August 11, 2005) Lung Ying-tai on Eileen Chang This is an excerpt from Lung Ying-tai's speech to HKU students on graduation day. The speech is in Chinese, and untranslatable without a lot of effort; even if I did the translation, it would never capture the essence. Once upon a time, Eileen haunted those campus halls. Today, how many HKU students are familiar with her work? If you don't know it, you should buy the books and read them. (Disclosure: I receive 15% royalty on all sales)
