Xu, Zhimo. Zai shuo yi shuo Manshufei'er [ID D30051].
"Mansfield is a psychological realist. Her writings not only reflect reality, they simply represent truth. Anyone who cares to make an effort to understand her works can see her talent beyond any doubt. She is one of the most important writers at least of the twentieth century. Every word of hers is alive with meaning. Whatever feelings her characters may have, whether subtle, or complex, or sometimes even cruel, are expressed with perfect aptitude. She did not just have words and expressions in her hand. She managed to get hold of real human thoughts and feelings… Her flawless, supreme art produced objects d'art characterized by a fusion of form and substance. All we have from reading her is the impression of truth and beauty. Reading her is like watching the reflection of plum blossoms in crystal clear water : refreshing, marvelous and beautiful."
