张爱玲是现代文学史上的一个奇迹。柯灵先生曾说过:“偌大的文坛,哪一个阶段都安放不下一个张爱玲。”的确如此。现代文学产生于动荡的时代,动荡时代的文学难免与政治有密切联系,大多数作家都具有强烈的政治意识和历史使命感。在其他作家都狂喜和热衷于时代的变迁带来的毁灭与重建时,张爱玲却在上海的一角公寓里,以她年 Eileen Chang is a miracle in the history of modern literature. Mr. Ke Ling said: “The great literary world, at any stage are not fit for a Zhang Ailing.” Indeed. Modern literature came into being during the turbulent times. Literature in times of turbulent times is inevitably closely linked with politics. Most writers have a strong sense of political consciousness and historic mission. While other writers are ecstatic and keen on the destruction and reconstruction brought about by the changes of the times, Zhang Ailing lived in a corner apartment in Shanghai.
