No matter in Chinese culture or in western culture, love and marriage are major carriers of human and humanity.Jane Austen was regarded as one of the most outstanding British authoresses whose literary theme is mainly concentrated on love and marriage. Her novels focus on describing the tranquil life of gentry, clergies, and landowners. She wrote from women’s point of view to illustrate love, marriage, and trivial daily things. Jane arranged her works with her ic irony, humor and sensitivity to express her view of love and marriage. She was the only important author who seemed to be untouched by the political, intellectual, artistic revolutions during her period of time. Jane Austen was born in a patrician family. She received a few years of school education and then continued her study at home, mainly by widely reading and discussion with her brothers and some other young men who she knew through her father. She fell in love with a young man when she was twentysix, but only ended in his sudden death. She lived her life alone without getting married. During her period of time, women had lower social status than men. Men were the dominant power in both economy and politics. Women were not allowed in most occupations. All a woman could do seemed to be expecting a good husband with a good fortune to marry and support them. However, heroines in Jane Austen’s novels are often rebellious, independent, intelligent, and humorous. They seek for true love and a marriage based not only on money but more importantly, on love and ration.Similarly, there was also a woman writer in Chinese literature whose works were mainly focused on exploiting the essence of love and marriage. This is Eileen Chang. She was born in Shanghai on September 30th, 1920. Her family was once a renowned clan which at the time of Eileen’s birth could not protect itself from decay. Eileen’s childhood was not a happy story. As a girl growing up in such a big family, she was not paid too much attention, even her babysitter was teased by that of her brother’s. Family conflicts, her own failure of marriage and social circumstances led to her pessimism toward love, family and the whole society. But her mother and aunt’s independence cultivated her consciousness of freedom. Eileen’s talent in literary writing was seen when she was still in St. Mary’s Girls School. During her 75 years of life, she pleted more than 30 classic essays. She is undoubtedly the most talented woman writer in the 20th century China. Her key achievement is her short fiction, mainly stories about love, desire, longing, helplessness, shiftiness and treacherousness in family life happening in Shanghai and Hong Kong during the Japanese occupation period. Due to her own family and social experience, heroines in her stories are always helpless, pathetic, tragic and even emotionally disturbed because of the torture of family. Her novels are always set in a big falling down clan. Family means nothing about warmth and love, but only treacherousness and coldness. Women are always the victims of the family. Most of her stories end up in tragedy. She vividly describes the tragic life of traditional Chinese women. And through the description of how women’s life was about in marriage and family, she clearly illustrates that the suffering women endure is partly due to their numbness and slavishness. This is the reflection of her women consciousness in her works, which is different from that of Jane Austen.Love in a Fallen City was published in the September of 1943, Eileen’s
