This book is divided into three parts: The first part mainly examines specific events and figures, balancing historical facts with the book's presentation. The second part discusses the origins of Eileen Chang's reputation for "eccentric and flamboyant attire" from different perspectives, attempting to construct the process by which tabloids disseminated her clothing and personality, ultimately revealing Shanghai society's attitude towards fashion and clothing in the mid-1940s. The third part focuses on Eileen Chang and the urban space of Shanghai in the 1940s. This part includes both historical interpretations and the use of various urban spaces in Chang's works, such as residences, pastry shops, restaurants, Chinese and Western markets, streets, and transportation. It strives to present historical facts while carefully maintaining a balance in its interpretation of urban spaces in her novels—it's not a mixture of fact and fiction, but rather a reflection of reality.
