[Mansfield, Katherine]. Tie shen nü pu. Xi Ying [Chen Xiying] yi. [ID D30048].
Chen Xiying : "The merits of this story do not lie simply in its unique form. They also consist in the fact that the whole life of a pitiable woman is told in just three or four thousand words. And what would be hard for an average writer to achieve is the way in which the heroine- herself the storyteller – is not aware of the pathos of her life, whereas we, the readers, see so clearly the wretchedness she has had to endure."
