Tsinghua remembers?famed alumna | Celebrated Chinese writer dies | |
Two individuals, each with a strong spirit but vulnerable heart, encountered each other. In their 60 years together the small family of three members went through war, political turmoil and illness in their repeated returns, but all the while they were always there for each other. |
Students lit up candles in memory of celebrated writer Yang Jiang in front of the old library at Tsinghua University. Yang?graduated from Tsinghua, which also witnessed the blossoming of her romance with her husband Qian Zhongshu. |
Yang enjoyed decades of fame across the country for her literature works such as Baptism,?Six Chapters from My Life 'Downunder' and We Three, which?recalls her husband and her daughter Qian Yuan (1937–1997), who died of cancer one year before her father's death. |
Yang?protests auction of letters | At the margins of life | |
The widow of the well-known Chinese author Qian Zhongshu registered a "temporary victory" on Monday in her fight to prevent Qian's private letters from being sold at auction. |
Letters and manuscripts?of the couple?will go under the hammer, despite Qian's 102-year-old widow, saying it is "very inappropriate" to publicize the family's privacy.? | The 100th birthday of Yang Jiang was a low-key affair for the celebrated writer and translator, in which Yang spent in self-effacing modesty. |
